Rewriting the Rules of Healthcare Staffing.
We are building a collaborative framework to help facilities find nurses and nurses find work to fill immediate staffing needs. ShiftLock is a next-generation, 24/7 digital staff-matching framework engineered to connect credentialed nurses and PSWs directly to local care facilities, clinics, and at-home care—eliminating traditional agency middlemen and bloated markups.
Our Mission: Real Wages for Real Life.
The current staffing system is fundamentally broken. ShiftLock was built in New Brunswick to serve every person, home, and health facility by rewriting the rules of healthcare employment from the ground up:
- Around-the-Clock Fair Pay: Caregivers deserve immediate access to their hard-earned money—not two-week delays, unpaid handovers, or agency wage theft.
- True Scheduling Sovereignty: Empowering professionals to claim complete control over their availability, matching shifts seamlessly to their lifestyle and professional scope.
- Direct, Transparent Integration: Providing facilities with automated, instant local matching that honors baseline union rates and provincial frameworks without commissions.
- Cost of Living Realities: Calibrating provincial pay scales across a balanced tier (nights, weekends, and crisis responses) tuned to what it actually costs to live, commute, and care for a family today.
