Innova People

With over 20 years of experience, they connect healthcare professionals—including nurses, allied health workers, and clinical leaders—with placements ranging from short-term contracts and locum tenens to long-term and permanent roles. Their healthcare division, INNOVA Health, serves candidates from new graduates to seasoned executives across clinical, administrative, and leadership positions. The company is based in Aurora, CO, with operations suggesting a broader national reach. For nurses, working with INNOVA People means being placed at various client facilities rather than working at a single INNOVA-owned site, so the actual work environment, patient ratios, and clinical culture will depend heavily on the specific placement. The company emphasizes a data-driven approach to matching talent with opportunities and positions itself as a career partner rather than a transactional agency. Their internal culture promotes flexibility, work-from-home options, and a 'make work fun' philosophy, though these appear to be directed primarily at their internal recruiting staff rather than placed healthcare professionals.

INNOVA People's mission is 'to build, craft, nurture, and mold our continuous pursuit of excellence, performance, and improvement for our families, clients, and candidates.' Their stated values are Leadership (courage to shape a better future), Collaboration (leveraging collective genius), Integrity (united in honesty at all costs), Accountability (taking ownership of excellence), Passion (fully committed daily in heart and mind), and Quality (outstanding results for everyone). Their mantra is 'Make work fun, and live life to its fullest.'
