Q3 2025 Outsourced Services Update

Subsector Spotlight: Healthcare Staffing

In Q3-25, healthcare staffing showed signs of renewed M&A momentum after a period of relative cooling since the peak levels of dealmaking in 2021. Increased transaction activity has been most prevalent outside of travel nurse staffing, with buyers and sellers overcoming valuation and structure misalignments that had stalled transactions in prior periods.

Three new private equity-backed platforms were established in Q3-25, all focused on the locum tenens market. Recruitment of physicians and advanced practice providers remains atop the list of concerns for healthcare providers across the country, and private equity firms are deploying capital behind businesses that play a vital role in solving these challenges. Alongside sponsors, strategic consolidators are continuing to expand via M&A as established staffing providers look to diversify and gain specialization by acquiring niche, reputable providers.
