What this episode covers

Dr. Iman Abuzeid, co-founder and CEO of Incredible Health, explains how her digital platform flips the traditional nursing hiring model by having hospitals apply to nurses, reducing the hiring timeline from 90 days to 15 days or less. She details the company's response to the pandemic by launching a 'pandemic hiring suite' with automated scheduling and remote interviews, which accelerated the process to 12 days and saved hospitals millions. Abuzeid also discusses the critical nursing shortage, the company's efforts to combat hiring bias through data-driven design, and the importance of mental health support for their distributed team.
