SK-built platform aims to improve hiring

SASKATOON – FillaRole has officially launched FillaRole Health, a Saskatchewan-built, AI hiring and onboarding platform, designed for Canada’s healthcare sector. It gives busy HR teams one centralized tool to post jobs, track applicants, manage interviews and onboard hires, without the spreadsheet chaos.

The platform arrives at a crucial moment: Saskatchewan alone spent over $70 million on contract nurses in 2024, nearly triple the cost just two years ago.

In Nova Scotia, the 2024 bill hit $141.7 million despite policy changes, while BC and Quebec are each spending over $1.5 billion annually on agency staffing.

The physician shortage is just as troubling. Manitoba recently contracted a consultant for $5.25 million to recruit 150 physicians and only two were hired. Across Canada, billions are being diverted to temporary and stop-gap staffing initiatives.

“We’re watching the healthcare system drown in contract costs,” said Keli Propp (pictured), CEO of FillaRole. “FillaRole Health offers a long-term solution: permanent hires, both local and international, without the 40 percent premium in wage costs that health authorities are paying right now. You can curb it now or let the bill keep climbing.”

To strengthen their presence in the Canadian healthcare space, FillaRole has joined the Coordinated Accessible National (CAN) Health Network, which is dedicated to accelerating the adoption of Canadian technology in healthcare. Through this collaboration, FillaRole gains access to new tools, strategic insights, and opportunities that drive meaningful change with this solution for patients, providers, and communities across Canada

According to the company, FillaRole Health combines essential hiring systems into one streamlined platform:

• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS): AI-powered job descriptions, resume scraping and one-click interview invites.
• Immigration & Compliance Software: Built-in LMIA-exempt tracking, international recruitment support and permit workflows.
• Talent Pool Building: Advertise positions worldwide, funneling applicants into one centralized pool. Track their engagement to spot the most promising candidates.

Additional features include automated posting to 19+ job boards, intelligent applicant ranking, customizable document templates, real human support and performance reports within 48 hours. All of which are securely hosted on Canadian servers.

FillaRole Health is especially suited for:

• Long-term care homes
• Private clinics and pharmacies
• Mental health and allied health practices
• Regional health authorities
• Medical recruiters supporting multiple locations

The platform prioritizes local hires first, automatically filtering candidates by licensing and credentials, while tracking documentation and renewal dates. All but eliminating those dreaded back-and-forth email chains.

FillaRole’s core platform already supports 100,000+ users and nearly 40,000 applicants across Canada and was selected earlier this year for VentureLAB’s Accelerated Growth Program. With the launch of FillaRole Health by a Canadian team with decades of experience in HR technology and immigration workflows, the company brings its proven hiring engine directly to Canada’s most urgent frontline staging crisis.

“You shouldn’t need six tools and an immigration lawyer to fill one role,” added Propp. “FillaRole Health makes hiring healthcare workers fast and finally affordable again.”
