A Proposed Solution
ShiftLock is one of many ideas proposed for Canadian healthcare. With the support of our growing roster, we'll bring the working model to nursing associations and the Ministry of Health.
We're replacing $306/hr agencies with same-day-paid shifts.
ShiftLock is the instant connection for healthcare staffing. Built in New Brunswick, for every nurse, PSW, family, and facility in Canada.
Canada spent $1.5 billion on travel nurse agencies last year.
Nurses doing the work saw $50–75 of an average $306.70 billable hour. The rest disappeared into agency overhead, recruiter commissions, and middleman markups. Facilities paid 3–4× the wage they would have paid a local nurse. Short shifts went begging while full-time nurses were forced to choose between burnout and a paycheque.
ShiftLock rebuilds the connection directly. Nurses post their availability and pick shifts that fit their lives — four hours, eight hours, weekends, weekdays, anywhere in the province. Facilities post a shift and the platform matches credentialed local nurses in minutes, with transparent flat-fee pricing and no agency commissions.
We started in New Brunswick because that's where the gap is widest. We're scaling to every province that's ready to stop overpaying for staffing and start paying nurses what they're worth.
Six things the platform handles — so you don't have to.
Sub-shift matching
Post a 4-hour block, an overnight, or a weekend — ShiftLock matches credentialed local nurses in minutes, not weeks.
Same-day pay
Nurses see their earnings the moment a shift closes. No two-week wait, no invoice chase, no agency holds.
Verified credentials
Every nurse is checked against NANB and ANBLPN registries before their first shift. No shortcuts.
Self-scheduled shifts
Nurses pick when they work. Facilities post when they need. The platform does the rest.
Mobile-first
Built for nurses on the move — claim shifts, log hours, message facilities, get paid — all from your phone.
Transparent pricing
12% flat platform fee. $61.43/hr RN tier-1 vs. $306+/hr agency rates. Nurses keep 88%.
Three steps. No agency. No delays.
