Introducing SoCal Works: A Transformative Approach to Contingent Staffing for HASC Members

HWL is proud to announce its partnership with the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC) to launch SoCal Works, an exclusive contingent staffing program designed to give HASC members greater control, cost savings and workforce transparency.

SoCal Works is the only contingent staffing program that leverages proprietary technology to provide full insight into pay packages, ensuring transparency across all bill rate components.

“Our members need innovative workforce solutions that balance quality care with sustainability,” said Teri Hollingsworth, vice president of human resources and education programs at HASC. “SoCal Works streamlines the contingent staffing process from application to onboarding.

What sets this program apart is the comprehensive benefits package for healthcare professionals,” she said. “It ensures members can fill workforce gaps with qualified clinicians ready to uphold the highest standards of care.”

Through this program, HASC members can take advantage of:

  • Pay Transparency – Gain control over hourly or weekly pay packages accepted by contingent staff at local, regional, and national levels.
  • Fixed Markup Model – Reduce bill rates while maintaining competitive pay for contingent staff by managing markups through an employer of record (EOR) solution.
  • Direct Candidate Sourcing – Attract top talent directly to your organization, bypassing external agency fees and inefficiencies.
  • Quality-driven Staffing – All candidates undergo thorough screening and clinical interviews to ensure only qualified professionals are presented.
  • No Conversion Fees – Seamlessly transition contingent workers to full-time employees at no extra cost.
  • Real-time Reporting Dashboards – Utilize a proprietary VMS platform for compliance tracking, credentialing, timekeeping, invoicing, and analytics.

This innovative partnership between HASC and HWL provides an alternative workforce solution that supports clinical and nonclinical specialties, including nursing, allied health, locum tenens, IT, interim leadership, clerical staff and more.
