What Delta-T Group does

Delta-T Group is a privately held, family-owned workforce referral services company founded in 1989 by Joanne McAndrews and headquartered in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. The company operates as a nationwide referral intermediary that connects self-employed independent contractors with client organizations across six specialized verticals: behavioral healthcare/nursing, public and charter schools, social work, residential group homes and IDD support, addictions and substance abuse treatment, and state and local government agencies. Its client base includes over 600 school districts and thousands of healthcare facilities, government agencies, and social service organizations.

The company's underlying technology consists of a self-service contractor portal (contracts1099.delta-tgroup.com) where independent professionals register, browse opportunities, and manage career preferences, alongside an in-house background check division and quality assurance teams handling credentialing, primary source verification, and compliance management. It maintains 12 regional offices across 10 states with strategic support personnel in 6 additional states, supported by account managers who handle enterprise client relationships. The company operates corporate functions including sales, recruitment, management, quality assurance, and referral coordination, with 251-500 employees.

Delta-T Group's business model is transaction-based: it earns referral commissions or fees by matching client workforce needs with qualified professionals and additionally handles billing and payment disbursement on behalf of clients. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is multi-channel, combining direct enterprise field sales, inside sales via phone/email, online client service request forms, and community-led word-of-mouth referrals within the healthcare, behavioral health, and education professional communities. The company carries no external institutional investors and is structured with affiliate offices separately incorporated in each state of operation.

Direct peers

• ShiftKey: ShiftKey is a digital marketplace that connects independent healthcare professionals (CNAs, LPNs, RNs, behavioral health) with facilities seeking shift coverage. Like Delta-T, it relies on a 1099-style contractor model and serves behavioral health and IDD providers; it competes head-on with Delta-T on tech-enabled matching speed and contractor experience.
• Clipboard Health: Clipboard Health operates a marketplace platform that lets nurses, behavioral health, and allied health professionals pick up shifts at healthcare facilities on demand. It mirrors Delta-T's referral-style contractor model in adjacent clinical settings and pressures Delta-T on fill speed and contractor self-service experience.
• Sunbelt Staffing: Sunbelt Staffing (AMN Healthcare division) places school psychologists, special education teachers, social workers, and behavioral health professionals in K-12 and clinical settings—competing head-to-head with Delta-T in the education and behavioral-health referral verticals.

Broad incumbents

• Maxim Healthcare Services: Maxim is a large national healthcare staffing and home-care services firm that places nurses, behavioral health, social services, and school-based professionals—a much broader portfolio than Delta-T but overlapping on behavioral health, IDD, and education staffing referrals.
• Bayada Home Health Care: Bayada is a large, mission-driven home-health and behavioral-health staffing provider serving pediatric and adult populations across the U.S. It overlaps with Delta-T on behavioral health, IDD, and social-services referral work but operates its own direct-care employees in addition to referrals.
• Soliant Health: Soliant places allied health, behavioral health, and K-12 education professionals (including school psychologists, SLPs, and special education) on contract and direct-hire assignments—directly overlapping Delta-T's education and behavioral-health verticals but at larger national scale.
• Cross Country Healthcare: Cross Country Healthcare is a national staffing firm placing nurses, behavioral health, social workers, and education professionals. While publicly traded and far larger than Delta-T, it competes on the same referral/contract verticals, particularly for government and school-based contracts.

Emerging players

• TherapyTravelers: TherapyTravelers specializes in placing school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists in K-12 settings nationwide—a direct overlap with Delta-T's public and charter schools vertical but with a more travel-focused contractor model.
• Gale Healthcare Solutions: Gale operates a mobile app-based marketplace that connects nurses and behavioral health professionals with shifts at facilities on demand. It overlaps with Delta-T's behavioral-health referral model and competes on speed of contractor placement and digital UX.
• Indeed Flex: Indeed Flex is a tech-enabled staffing marketplace for healthcare, hospitality, and industrial roles, with growing behavioral-health and IDD coverage. It applies marketplace-style matching to the same contractor-on-demand segments Delta-T serves.
