North Atlanta company, cited as a "Best Place to Work," seeks to fill nearly 100 positions due to substantial growth

Alpharetta, Ga., February 21, 2008 (PRWeb)- Today Jackson Healthcare, a provider of healthcare technology and staffing solutions, announced that it is seeking "the best and brightest" to fill nearly 100 open positions. These positions, which encompass various experience levels and include IT, sales, marketing, administrative, accounting and other skill sets, are mostly newly created due to the company's unprecedented growth.

With a 62-percent compound annual growth rate between its founding in 2000 and year-end 2006, Jackson Healthcare has achieved more than 660% growth in recent years. The company broke its record for revenue growth in 2007 while receiving a long list of prestigious accolades:

• Ranked 7th on Atlanta Business Chronicle's "Pacesetters" list of Atlanta's fastest-growing companies (the company was also ranked in the 2005 and 2006 rankings)
• Ranked 28th among Entrepreneur Magazine's "Hot 500" fastest-growing businesses in America.
• Ranked 1,670 in the first-ever "Inc. 5,000," a prestigious raking that builds upon the tradition of the "Inc. 500" but is more in-depth
• Ranked #87 among the top 100 health-related companies on the "Inc. 5000" list of fastest-growing private U.S. companies.
• Ranked 26th among "America's Fastest-Growing Private Staffing Companies 2007" by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) based on total revenue.
• Ranked 9th (based on healthcare staffing revenue) among Top U.S. Healthcare Staffing Providers by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA)

"Jackson Healthcare has a tradition of hiring the best and brightest; that's why our retention rates are among the highest in our industry," says Executive Vice President Shane Jackson. "We strive to maintain an environment where people can grow professionally; work hard and be rewarded; and maintain a balanced lifestyle."

Indeed, Jackson Healthcare employees enjoy a work environment that has made their tenure at the company a "stand-out experience" in many ways. Says Chief Technology Officer Tim Aligheri, "It never, ever gets old being surrounded by a team of talented, witty, action-oriented, respectful and knowledgeable people. Jackson Healthcare fosters a culture where you have fun while achieving professional goals you may not have thought possible."

Alex Bloodworth, a physician recruiter for Jackson & Coker, joined the Jackson Healthcare family a year ago after watching his twin brother, Ramsey, enjoy his work experience at Locumtenens.com. "My work is very rewarding because it's about building relationships, getting to know physicians, and helping hospitals obtain the clinical expertise they need," says Bloodworth. "Jackson Healthcare has the ideal work environment, too; there's a great energy at work here. People work closely as team; it's not 'every man for himself'."

To accommodate its substantial growth, Jackson Healthcare is building a five-story, 160,450 square-foot headquarters office building in Alpharetta's North Winds business park, with an expected move-in in summer 2008. The company expects the new building to accommodate anticipated growth from approximately 350 employees to more than 700 in the next five years.
