An honest comparison
Kordis vs BookJane for healthcare staffing (2026)
Last updated . Competitor facts checked against the sources at the bottom of this page.
BookJane is a Toronto-built shift-fulfillment system used by healthcare facilities: long-term care, senior living, hospitals, and shelters fill shifts through its app, with credential verification built in. Pricing is quote-only.
Kordis is built for the agency side of the same world: a private-pay nursing or PSW agency that screens its own applicants, confirms its own workers, tracks registrations and cards, and moves hours to payroll.
What is BookJane good at?
BookJane is a genuine Canadian healthcare specialist. Facilities use it to call out open shifts to their teams and partner pools, with rules-based assignment and credential verification appropriate to care settings. It has real traction in the GTA, including work with SE Health and Nexim Healthcare.
- Healthcare-native workflows: facility shift callouts, rules-based assignment
- Credential and compliance verification built for care settings
- Canadian, Toronto-based, with live deployments in senior living and hospitals
- Mobile app care workers already know from facility work

Pick BookJane if
- You ARE the facility: a home or hospital filling internal shifts across your own and partner pools
- Your work is exclusively healthcare shift fulfillment at facility scale
Pick Kordis if
- You are the AGENCY: you recruit, screen, employ, and place your own care workers
- You need applicant screening calls and onboarding funnels, not just shift callouts
- You also need the payroll evening handled: hours from timesheets to your payroll file
- You staff beyond healthcare too, or want Bill 11-ready record keeping as an agency
Common questions
Are Kordis and BookJane competitors?
Mostly no: they sit on opposite sides of the same shift. BookJane serves facilities filling shifts; Kordis serves the staffing agency employing and placing the workers. An agency whose clients use BookJane still runs its own desk.
Which handles Ontario's Bill 11?
Bill 11 reporting obligations, once proclaimed, fall on health care staffing agencies. Kordis keeps the agency-side records that reporting draws on: placement records, assignment history, and hours. Facility tools like BookJane address the facility's side of operations.
Which should a new PSW agency pick?
A new private-pay nursing or PSW agency needs the agency loop: screening, onboarding, confirmations, credential gating, hours to payroll. That is Kordis. BookJane becomes relevant when your facility clients run their callouts through it.
