What Samstaff does

Samstaff, operating under the legal entity Harrison Ventures, LLC, is a women-owned healthcare staffing firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company recruits and places healthcare professionals across five primary revenue-cycle specialties: medical coding and Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), cancer and trauma registry, interim leadership, HEDIS measurement, and case management. Its customer base is organized into two vertical segments — Healthcare Providers (hospitals, health systems, and provider organizations) and Healthcare Payers (managed care companies and insurers) — concentrated primarily in the southeastern United States, with evidence of placements extending to West Coast health systems. The firm has been recognized by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) as one of the Fastest-Growing Companies in both 2023 and 2024, achieving a 43.2% revenue CAGR over 2018–2022 and leading growth among healthcare revenue cycle staffing companies with sub-$10 million revenue.

The company's core product is a relationship-based staffing service delivered through a candidate-advocate model, with the underlying technology stack comprising a website platform, a Salesforce force.com candidate registration portal, and iSpring/SharePoint-powered delivery of AHIMA-certified professional development courses covering topics such as telehealth, wound care, ICD-10-CM updates, chronic condition coding, spinal fusion, joint replacement, and CPT surgical coding. In February 2024, Samstaff extended its offering through a strategic partnership with SurvivorPlan, bundling its cancer registry talent with SurvivorPlan's AI-powered digital health platform for electronic patient-reported outcomes, symptom management, distress screening automation, and care-plan generation aimed at helping cancer centers meet Commission on Cancer (COC) accreditation requirements. The firm also maintains formal alignment with healthcare credentialing and trade bodies — AHIMA, ACDIS, NCRA, American Trauma Society, ACHE, HIMSS, and HFMA — and holds SBA Women-Owned Small Business federal contracting designation.

Samstaff generates revenue through two professional-services mechanisms: contingency fees on permanent/direct-hire placements and markup rates on contract and interim staffing engagements. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with direct outreach to healthcare employers and candidate-side cultivation across 'thousands of top-tier candidates' in its specialty verticals. The firm operates as a boutique private company with 11–50 employees, no external disclosed funding rounds, and no parent company, with leadership concentrated in founder/CEO Sam Farrell.
