Premier Medical Staffing Services

What Premier Medical Staffing Services does

Premier Medical Staffing Services, LLC is a privately held, women-owned healthcare staffing agency headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded circa 2008 by nurse Laura Hanoski and Mark Hanoski, the company places registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, medical assistants, and allied health professionals (physical, occupational, respiratory, speech, and radiology therapists, pharmacists, pharmacy techs, social workers, and surgical first assists) into travel, per diem, local contract, permanent, and government/VA assignments across all 50 U.S. states. The company is Joint Commission certified in healthcare staffing and WBENC-certified as a women-owned business enterprise, and operates a small but credentialed leadership team including clinical, compliance, and military/veteran talent pipeline functions.

The company's technology stack centers on the Echo Jobs platform for job listings and applications, a proprietary Premier Profile job portal where clinicians manage credentials, preferences, and alerts, HubSpot for marketing automation and lifecycle workflows, and Google Ads for paid acquisition. Direct recruitment is supported by an inside-sales recruiter model and self-serve online apply, with named roles for Director of Client Management, Director of Recruitment, Director of Tech and Data Integration, Director of Finance, and a Marketing Operations Manager. Distribution combines digital channels (blog, SEO, Google Ads, email newsletter) with event participation (MSEP, Pathways Wisconsin) and partnerships such as the 2026 Vidle Housing integration for traveler housing and mental wellness benefits.

Premier generates revenue primarily through transaction-based placement fees and managed-services contract nursing, where healthcare facilities pay for temporary clinical labor and the company retains the spread between bill rate and clinician compensation. Clinician pay is weekly with direct deposit; pricing varies by specialty, assignment type, location, and stipends. Additional revenue mechanics include referral bonuses ($500 per completed 13-week assignment) and a tiered loyalty program ($250 then $500 per consecutive assignment) that function as both retention tools and modest take-rate streams. Recognized on Staffing Industry Analysts' (SIA) lists for fastest-growing and diversity-owned staffing firms and multiple Milwaukee Business Journal "Best Places to Work" rankings, the company billed over 178,000 hours in 2020 from its single Milwaukee office and ranks among the largest Wisconsin-based women-owned businesses.
