Impact of Government Policy Uncertainty on Staffing Demand
Management highlighted that uncertainty about government policy, including healthcare funding and federal research cuts, led to a cautious stance among clients in Q2.
Declines in staffing orders and extensions, especially in Travel Nurse and physician search, were directly linked to policy uncertainty.
In July, some stabilization was observed, with demand in Nurse and Allied segments improving, but overall client decision-making remained delayed due to external policy factors.
Clients are now considering more data-driven workforce solutions, predictive analytics, and program management to manage future staffing needs amid ongoing policy uncertainties.
The company expects demand stabilization to translate into more visible growth in Q4 and into 2026, especially as policy clarity improves.
