Staffing Costs in Illinois
You're Filling the Shifts Anyway.
The Question is: at What Cost?
What does per diem staffing typically cost in Illinois? Traditional staffing agencies often include markups that increase the hourly bill rate for CNA, LPN, and RN coverage — quietly draining thousands from your budget. These markups typically mean an extra $5-$8 billed per hour.
Here's what that can look like:
$96/shift
A single 12-hour shift can cost up to $96 more elsewhere.
$1K/week
If you have 10 shifts to fill in a week, that's nearly $1,000 you're overpaying.
$52K/year
Over a year, that's thousands that could have been saved.
Our platform was built to give facilities more control over those dollars. CareEvo Connect rates are typically $5-$8 lower per hour than traditional agencies — without sacrificing quality.
Not an Agency.
A Platform Built for Control.
What Is a Per Diem Staffing Platform?
A per diem staffing platform allows facilities to post open shifts and connect directly with credentialed independent nursing professionals without traditional agency intermediaries.
Experienced Healthcare Professionals Only
Every independent nursing professional on the platform is credentialed, verified, and required to have a minimum of 6 months of experience before approval.
You Control Your Rates
Need to increase interest on a hard-to-fill shift? Choose between three surge levels to give it a boost. You choose when to offer extra pay — and by how much. No algorithms automatically adjusting your rates behind the scenes.
Pay Per Shift — No Minimum Usage
There are no subscription fees and no minimum shift commitments. Facilities only pay when a shift is successfully worked.
Per Diem Coverage When You Need It
Designed specifically for day-to-day coverage needs — call-offs, census fluctuations, and last-minute gaps.
Hire With Confidence — No Talent Acquisition Fees
CareEvo can support your hiring strategy. If you find an independent nursing professional who’s a great long-term fit for your facility, you can hire them directly. No conversion fees.
Built for Budget Oversight.
Designed for Real-World Call-Offs.
When a 6 am call-off happens, you shouldn’t have to renegotiate rates or wait on callbacks. Corporate teams need cost predictability. DONs need coverage — fast. CareEvo bridges both.
