AB Staffing Solutions, a staff augmentation service for healthcare facilities, found a powerful recruitment ally in Vivian Health. Their partnership has supercharged recruitment efforts at AB Staffing and led to impressive results in 2024.
AB Staffing is a nationwide leader in travel nursing and healthcare staffing.
