Medical Edge Recruitment, a leading healthcare recruitment and workforce solutions firm, today formally announced its acquisition of StaffMed Health Partners, a values-driven healthcare recruiting company recognized for its disciplined approach to clinician and leadership search. The acquisition, completed in October 2025, unites two organizations with complementary strengths and a shared commitment to elevating the standard of healthcare recruitment nationwide.
The combined organization now offers full-spectrum healthcare workforce solutions: direct hire physician and advanced practice provider recruitment, retained and executive search, travel nursing, allied health placements, and customized workforce strategies. This expanded platform positions the company to meet the evolving needs of healthcare organizations facing unprecedented workforce challenges across specialties and care settings.
“This partnership reflects a shared vision for what healthcare recruitment should be: comprehensive, client-focused, and built on integrity,” said Julie Kennedy, Chief Commercial Officer, Medical Edge Recruitment. “StaffMed’s deep expertise in physician and advanced practice provider recruitment, combined with Medical Edge’s strength in travel staffing, life sciences, and allied health, creates a platform that delivers end-to-end workforce solutions. We are thrilled to welcome a team whose values and commitment to excellence mirror our own.”
StaffMed brings a recruitment methodology anchored in its GOLD Standard values: Gratitude, Ownership, Leadership, and Discipline. These principles guide every client engagement and candidate interaction, ensuring the right clinician is matched with the right opportunity at the right time. That disciplined, values-driven culture was a key factor in the partnership.
“We built StaffMed from the ground up with one conviction: every placement is personal. Every physician we recruit, every advanced practice provider we place, ultimately impacts a patient we may never meet but will always honor,” said Christian Claudio, CEO, StaffMed Health Partners. “That belief took us from zero to over a million dollars in revenue in three years. Joining forces with Medical Edge gives us the platform to deliver that same accountability and personal attention at a national scale. Our clients now have access to a full suite of workforce solutions, and our candidates have access to more opportunities, all backed by a team that operates by the GOLD Standard: Gratitude, Ownership, Leadership, and Discipline. This partnership accelerates what we have already proven works.”
The acquisition supports both organizations’ goals of expanding into new geographies and specialties while enhancing workforce strategies that prioritize quality, fit, and long-term success for clients and candidates.
