How Workflow Timing Changes Agency Performance

Jan 28, 2026

Healthcare staffing leaders are under constant pressure to move faster, place more, and scale efficiently.

Yet many are trying to improve performance without true visibility into how work actually moves.

Activity vs Movement

Most ATS platforms show activity.
Messages sent.
Submissions made.
Status changes.

What they don’t show is movement.

How long did a job sit before review?
How long did it take for a match to become a submission?
Where did momentum slow?

Without this insight, leaders are left guessing.

Why Timing Matters

Speed to submission is one of the strongest predictors of placement success.

But speed is not one number. It is a series of moments:

  • job posted

  • match created

  • match reviewed

  • submission sent

Each step can introduce friction.

How Ember Creates Visibility

Ember surfaces workflow timing your ATS does not provide, including:

  • job to submission time

  • match to review time

  • review to submission time

  • fast submission rates

This gives leaders a clear picture of where time is being lost and where improvement matters most.

Better Visibility Creates Better Leadership

When leaders can see timing clearly, they can:

  • coach with precision

  • remove friction instead of applying pressure

  • improve speed without burning out recruiters

Visibility is not a nice-to-have.
It is how modern agencies operate.
