Help me understand what some of those triggers are and what problems we would be solving on that last mile.
10:05
So Matt, cold feet is very rarely about the job.
10:08
It's usually about the community they're moving to and the money that it costs to actually move there.
10:14
The problem that we see in health care too often is that there's a lot of assumed privilege that you're going to front all the money to move on your own.
10:23
Once you're on payroll, we'll give you that stipend, that sign-on bonus or that lump sum, or you can submit all your receipts.
10:31
will reimburse you, and you're going to front the $15,000.
10:35
But it's going to take you many, many months from the moment you actually book certain services until you're on payroll to get reimbursed.

7 MINS LATER

17:15
Can you educate us a little bit on that, just so we can kind of all be on level footing here today?
2:55
Talk about how you fit into that and how you got started with sort of this type of service and business.
3:02
Yeah, first of all, there's a big gap.
3:04
So without Urban Mountain, if you look at the healthcare system and why they're surprised when someone doesn't show up to work on day one or whatever it might be, is because the moment an offer is accepted, To the moment someone has to show up to work and perform the job, there's this gap in time where too often everything's left to chance.
3:21
So if there's great software that's managing the entire process, the recruiter can actually log in and say, okay, where is this physician? Where's this executive at in this journey? Oh, I can see that they've already been connected with a local van line.
3:34
They've found temporary housing.
3:35
They've booked their final travel.
3:37
Looks like they're exploring neighborhoods within the platform to be able to find the right place to live.
5:47
And that's really what we're focused on every day is making it easier for healthcare systems to find that talent and make it appealing for those physicians, nurses, and their families to want to make that leap to go where they're needed ultimately.
2:55
Talk about how you fit into that and how you got started with sort of this type of service and business.
3:02
Yeah.
3:02
First of all, there's a, there's a big gap.
3:04
You know, so without, without Urban Bound, if you look at a healthcare system and why they're surprised when someone doesn't show up to work on day one or whatever it might be, is because the moment an offer's accepted to the moment someone actually show up to work and perform the job, there's this gap in time where too often it, it's just every- everything's left to chance.
3:21
So if there's great software that's managing the entire process and a recruiter can actually log in and say, "Okay, where is this physician? Where is this executive at in this journey? Oh, I can see that, you know, they've already been connected with a, a local van line.
3:34
They've found temporary housing and they've booked their final travel.
3:37
Looks like they're exploring neighborhoods within the platform to be able to find the right place to live." So there's no surprises when you're leveraging software 'cause you get all the early indications if someone's highly engaged or someone who's not engaged.
5:34
I think a recent data point I saw, uh, not that long ago was that they're expecting a shortage of about 120,000 physicians or more by 2030, and that's a problem obviously we have to, we have to all be concerned about and that's really what, what we're focused on every day is making it easier for healthcare systems to find that talent and make it appealing for those physicians, nurses, and their families to wanna make that leap to go where they're needed ultimately.
3:54
Talk about how you fit into that and how you got started with sort of this type of service and business.
4:01
Yeah.
4:01
First of all, there's a, there's a big gap.
4:03
You know, so without, without UrbanBound, if you look at the healthcare system and why they're surprised when someone doesn't show up to work on day one or whatever it might be, is because if the moment an offer is accepted to the moment someone has to show up to work and perform the job, there's this gap in time where too often it, it's just every- everything's left to chance.

4:33
They've found temporary housing and they've booked their final travel.
4:36
Looks like they're exploring neighborhoods within the platform to be able to find the right place to live." So there's no surprises when you're leveraging software 'cause you get all the early indications if someone's highly engaged or someone who's not engaged.
6:47
And that's really what, what we're focused on every day is making it easier for healthcare systems to find that talent and make it appealing for those physicians, nurses, and their families to wanna make that leap to go where they're needed ultimately.
