Atrium Strengthens Large-Scale Humanitarian Initiative with Project Staffing Solutions

A leading health and security organization providing global assistance services, health consultancy programs, and medical equipment to mitigate health and security risks worldwide partnered with Atrium to rapidly staff and support a large-scale humanitarian initiative serving incoming Afghan refugees across multiple U.S. sites.

the challenge

JULY 2021

In July 2021, Atrium was engaged to provide staffing support for a large-scale humanitarian initiative providing processing and screening services for incoming Afghan refugees. Within a matter of days, Atrium recruited and placed a qualified team of temporary medical, administrative, and operational staff at a U.S. military base.

AUGUST 2021

By August 2021, the client was awarded a contract for three additional refugee resettlement centers across the United States, thus expanding their needs to 1,400 open positions. Due to Atrium’s exceptional performance in delivering experienced and readily available talent in short order, the contract was extended to support these other sites. Within three months, Atrium successfully onboarded over 900 temporary Associates and was confirmed as the top supplier of the program for both delivery and service.

the solution

Atrium delivered 900+ experienced candidates to our client by mobilizing a dedicated team to support the project and leveraging a company-wide recruitment effort. Atrium’s staffing team identified and sourced talent utilizing our vast database of over 650,000 qualified candidates, job boards, social media sites, referral networks, and recruitment marketing campaigns. The team fully vetted all candidates inclusive of their required experience and obtained official copies of required medical credentials and vaccinations.

Atrium onboarded Associates and deployed many out-of-state resources immediately for travel assignments which added a level of complexity. 

Atrium coordinated the following for working Associates:

  • Assignment details
  • Travel arrangements
  • Lodging
  • Daily meal stipend
  • Expense processing

Positions filled:

  • RN
  • LPN
  • Paramedics
  • Admin Clerk
  • EMT
  • EHS Tech
  • Clinical Trainers
  • Charge Nurses
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Radiology Techs
  • Pharmacy Techs
  • Logistics Coordinator

Atrium was also able to support the client’s pre-identified and independent contractor population through our Employer of Record payrolling and Independent Contractor services. For this population, Atrium was also responsible for all processing and management of travel and expenses.

the results

Atrium secured 900+ placements within a timeframe of less than three months. As the project progressed, Atrium was confirmed to be the top supplier to the project, responsible for fulfilling over 60% of the available positions. Although the initial projected duration was set at 30-60 days, the average duration exceeded 100 days, approximately three and a half months. Additionally, 90% of the candidates presented were offered the position and successfully commenced their assignments. Notably, more than 135 candidates placed experienced career advancements, either through promotions, transfer requests to support the initiative in different locations, or by transitioning into other roles to contribute to other aspects of the project.
