What MediStaff does

MediStaff is a Chicago-headquartered private staffing and recruitment firm operating since approximately 2000, with a nationwide footprint spanning both on-site and remote placements. The firm concentrates on five specialized verticals — Medical, Health Insurance, Technology, Pharmaceutical, and Laboratory — under practice-area leadership, rather than operating as a generalist agency. Service lines include direct-hire placement, team staffing, and project staffing, supported by a nationwide pipeline of passive candidates and a sales-led go-to-market built around dedicated Talent Acquisition Specialists.

The operating stack pairs human recruiters with an internally developed AI-based matching technology that leverages decades of accumulated placement data to score candidate-to-role fit. Placements are wrapped in a six-month replacement guarantee that re-allocates re-placement risk from the client to the firm. The firm is led by its two co-founders, Sam Dardick (President) and Fred Dardick (Director of Operations), with reported headcount in the 11–50 range.

MediStaff's commercial model is professional-services based, monetized through placement fees and team/project staffing engagements, with no disclosed pricing structure, no external funding, and no published revenue. Customers span Fortune 500 enterprises through small businesses, with no named logos or revenue concentration disclosed in the input.company_description>
