Sourcing, Leads & AI
As a NATHO Board Member, Chris Sund led this members-only executive roundtable on how AI is reshaping candidate sourcing and lead generation across travel healthcare staffing.


The industry is moving faster than most firms.
Traditional sourcing channels are getting more competitive and more expensive at the same time that AI tools are opening new ways to identify, reach, and engage candidates at scale. The firms that work this out first will hold a real advantage.
Chris convened NATHO member executives to talk candidly about where AI is already working in travel healthcare staffing, where it is being oversold, and what leaders need to do right now rather than next planning cycle.
Chris brought a perspective few speakers in this space can offer, the view from inside a leading travel healthcare staffing organization navigating these same questions in real time. As President and COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare and COO of Nebula and a sitting NATHO Board Member, he spoke from direct operational experience about what is working, what is not, and where the industry still has to go.
