HEALTHCARE IT LEADERS, LLC
ALPHARETTA, GA

We started Healthcare IT Leaders in 2011 with a “customer first” philosophy that guides everything we do. Since that time, we’ve helped a lot of large healthcare employers meet their EMR, ERP, CRM and BI talent challenges, and we’ve matched thousands of highly qualified IT professionals to great jobs. Our talented team has a depth of experience in healthcare, IT recruitment and consulting that’s hard to match. Some of us have been doing this for a long (long) time for some of the largest companies in the world. It’s what we do best, and it’s what we love to do.
