Our client, a premier company driving healthcare performance improvement nationwide, supports healthcare providers with solutions spanning supply chain management, clinical data insights, and operational efficiency. They serve thousands of healthcare facilities by optimizing purchasing, leveraging vast clinical data, and offering strategic advisory services.
Before partnering with Planet Technology, the client faced inefficiencies in their staffing processes. Hiring managers were inundated with up to 40 resumes per role, slowing decision-making and prolonging vacancies. Workforce management lacked standardization, making it difficult to track contractors, ensure accurate billing, and oversee onboarding and offboarding procedures. Additionally, many new hires experienced delays in receiving equipment and system access, resulting in lost productivity. Without a structured staffing program, hiring managers struggled to secure top talent quickly and efficiently.
Since 2010, Planet Technology has been a trusted partner, delivering strategic staffing solutions. In 2014, the partnership evolved with the implementation of a Managed Service Provider (MSP) program designed to streamline hiring, optimize workforce management, and enhance operational efficiency. Unlike traditional MSP models that rely on automated systems, our high-touch, fast-paced program involves direct engagement with hiring managers to refine job descriptions, vet candidates, and ensure an optimal hiring process.
For our client, Planet Technology provides exclusive access to highly qualified professionals in software development, data engineering, project management, Scrum, and business analysis. Through proactive hiring management, the program has significantly reduced time-to-hire by maintaining an average of three targeted resumes per hire, while structured workforce oversight ensures all staffing activities, including onboarding, compliance tracking, and invoicing, are efficiently managed. Additionally, data-driven reporting delivers insights into hiring speed, cost savings, vendor performance, and workforce trends, empowering the client to make informed decisions. The program also includes payroll and compliance optimization, preventing costly errors by closely monitoring hours worked and identifying discrepancies before payments are processed.
In 2017, the partnership expanded where we offered advisory services on project work through Launch, a sister company of Planet Technology, specializing in digital transformation, data & AI strategy, and technology implementation. Through this collaboration, the client has enhanced its IT capabilities.
The partnership has delivered outstanding results, including nearly 1,000 successful contract placements over the past decade and 300+ contract-to-hire conversions, strengthening the client’s long-term workforce. Cost savings and operational improvements have been achieved through accurate payroll tracking, streamlined invoicing, and workforce compliance monitoring. Additionally, Planet Technology’s high-touch staffing support ensures that new hires are fully equipped and productive from day one.
Today, Planet Technology continues to manage the client’s MSP program and staffing needs, while Launch delivers targeted advisory services. The partnership remains strong, with ongoing discussions to refine and expand the engagement. The senior leadership continue to express high satisfaction with the results, underscoring the value of a strategic, high-touch workforce solution.
