ShiftRx is a workforce management platform founded in 2023 that addresses the healthcare staffing shortage, with an initial focus on the pharmacy sector. The company was co-founded by CEO Autumn-Kyoko Cushman and Leann Haddad. The founders, who met in high school while their fathers were undergoing chemotherapy, were inspired to pursue careers in healthcare. Cushman served as a healthcare provider in the U.S. Navy, while Haddad worked as a pharmacy technician at CVS. These personal and professional experiences with healthcare burnout and staffing gaps motivated them to create a technology-driven solution.
The platform utilizes artificial intelligence, including generative AI and large language models, to connect pharmacy professionals with facilities for full-time roles and per diem shifts. It automates administrative tasks such as sourcing, credentialing, onboarding, scheduling, and payment processing. A key feature is the creation of customized, AI-driven onboarding modules and workflow integrations for each healthcare facility, ensuring that temporary staff can integrate seamlessly. For healthcare facilities, ShiftRx serves as a marketplace to fill staffing gaps and a careers job board to find talent for permanent positions, aiming to be more flexible and affordable than traditional staffing agencies by eliminating recruiter fees. For pharmacy professionals, it offers a mobile application to browse and apply for shifts, manage schedules, and gain control over their careers.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, ShiftRx operates nationwide across all 50 states. As of early 2025, the company works with over 150 pharmacies and more than 3,000 providers. The company secured $3.5 million in a seed funding round led by Work-Bench, with participation from Inflect Health, Tau Ventures, and Opal Ventures. This funding is intended to support expansion into new markets and other healthcare roles, such as X-ray, medical, and lab technicians, as part of its broader mission to solve the healthcare staffing crisis.
