Add Medistill if:
You already use Bullhorn and need deeper provider intelligence: 130-source enforcement screening (not just checklist tracking), billing analysis to vet candidates, malpractice history, market gap analysis to find new contract opportunities, and court case research.
They're complementary:
Bullhorn runs your staffing operation, recruiting, credentialing workflow, time & pay, billing. Medistill at from $199/mo is the data intelligence layer that feeds into that workflow: screen candidates against 130+ databases before they enter Bullhorn, identify market gaps to pursue new contracts, and vet provider billing patterns before placement.
