What Elite365 does

Elite365 Healthcare Workforce Solutions is a U.S. healthcare staffing company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, with additional offices in Irving, Texas and Rockledge, Florida. The company operates as Staffing Management, LLC and is backed by growth equity partner Regal Healthcare Capital Partners. Elite365 runs a "Family of Brands" structure spanning international nurse recruitment, locum tenens and permanent placement for physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs), travel therapy (PT/OT/SLP), dental staffing, and travel nursing/allied health. The portfolio includes Focus Staff (Joint Commission-certified, all 50 states), Critical Connection Inc./CCI (22 years of travel therapy staffing), Wilderness Medical Staffing (rural locum tenens in Alaska and the Western U.S.), Proxi Dental Staffing, and Kobor MedSearch.

The company's core technology stack comprises a proprietary recruiting platform for clinician-to-facility matching and the Focus Staff mobile application. A differentiated capability is a six-month NCLEX preparation framework for international nurses built on ArcherReview's educational technology, which Elite365 reports yields an 85% first-time pass rate compared to the 46.55% national average. The platform supports credentialing, immigration processing (TN-Visa, EB-3, H-1B), and onboarding. The company serves a horizontal segmentation of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, rural/remote/tribal communities, and specialty practices, with a stated network of 2,000+ facilities across all 50 states.

Elite365's revenue model is transaction-fee and professional-services based: the company acts as an intermediary between healthcare facilities seeking clinicians and clinicians seeking employment, earning placement fees as a percentage of placed professional compensation across temporary (locum tenens, travel) and permanent engagements. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to facilities with direct-to-clinician recruitment, supported by a referral program paying up to $2,000 per successful physician referral. The company was founded and is led by Tracy Clark, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran with 25+ years in healthcare staffing, supported by a C-suite that includes a COO (Carolina Araya), SVPs for Travel and Locum Tenens divisions, and VPs for Strategic Partnerships and International & Clinical Services.
