AlliedUP Cooperative

What AlliedUP Cooperative does

AlliedUP Cooperative Inc. is a privately held, worker-owned healthcare staffing cooperative headquartered in Los Angeles, California, operating under a collective bargaining agreement with SEIU-UHW. Founded in 2020, the company places allied health professionals (medical assistants, CNAs, LVNs, RNs, phlebotomists, patient care technicians, dental assistants, and non-clinical administrative staff) into California healthcare providers including hospital systems, skilled nursing facilities, community health centers, rehabilitation clinics, and dental practices, with nationwide service capability for employers.

The company's core offering is the Talent Growth Hub©, a workforce community development model that bundles the Talent Incubator™ (on-the-job coaching, mentorship, training), Pathway to Placement (employment pathways plus the Employer-of-Record model handling payroll, benefits, compliance), the Employee Success Program (a five-stage employer program with customized frameworks, skill surveys, seven proprietary self-paced eLearning microlessons, and biweekly quality check-ins), Career Coaching, and an Accelerator Program for new graduates. AlliedUP supports these services through a web-based platform with an integrated learning management system for resume submission, job searching, coaching scheduling, and employer talent requests, plus an Agentic AI assist for sales follow-up. Trademarks registered include Talent Growth Hub©, Talent Incubator™, and Where Care Meets Career Growth©.

AlliedUP monetizes primarily through managed-services placement and staffing fees (temporary, contract-to-hire, direct hire, and managed workforce solutions), capturing the margin between contracted employer bill rates and worker-member compensation. As a cooperative, it distributes a portion of profits to worker-members via annual dividends and reinvests the remainder into member programs and benefits. GTM combines direct enterprise sales to healthcare providers (Request Talent form, inside sales targeting California regions plus nationwide leads), a self-serve job seeker portal, educational institution partnerships (notably Futuro Health for talent pipelines), and community-led organic growth driven by worker-member referrals and the Talent Growth Hub community. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated by role, location, timeline, and volume under the SEIU-UHW CBA.

3. Managed Workforce Solutions: Offers managed solutions to healthcare employers, providing ongoing workforce support, training, and retention programs beyond simple placement.
4. Worker-Member Profit-Sharing: As a worker cooperative, AlliedUP distributes a portion of annual profits to worker-members through dividends, reinvesting remaining earnings into member programs, benefits, and training.
