NASHVILLE, Tenn.CereCore has earned ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing® Client and Talent Awards for the seventh consecutive year, a distinction driven entirely by ratings from clients and placed talent. The continued recognition reinforces CereCore's commitment to delivering healthcare IT staffing experiences grounded in operational expertise, thoughtful talent alignment, and sustained support for the organizations and technology professionals it serves. With seven straight years of recognition, CereCore also holds ClearlyRated's Gold Award, honoring firms that have achieved five or more consecutive years of industry-leading satisfaction scores. 

Recognition Driven by Client and Talent Satisfaction

ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Award winners are determined entirely by ratings from their clients and placed talent — and CereCore's results reflect a consistently strong service experience. In the 2026 survey cycle, 81.4% of CereCore's clients reported satisfaction scores of 9 or 10 out of 10, demonstrating the trust healthcare organizations place in CereCore's people, process, and healthcare IT expertise.

On average, clients of Best of Staffing winning firms are more than twice as likely to be completely satisfied compared to those working with non-winning firms.

A Strategic Approach to Healthcare IT Staffing

At CereCore, healthcare IT staffing is successful because operations insight, structured onboarding, and ongoing contractor support are a part of every engagement. The result is a disciplined, strategic process designed to align talent with each organization's goals and prepare candidates to contribute quickly and feel successful in complex care environments.

"Our clients trust us because we bring a depth of healthcare IT operations knowledge to our staffing practice," says Curtis Watkins, President and CEO of CereCore. "We vet for fit, prepare our contractors for success, propose smart resourcing plans to right size costs, and stay engaged throughout the assignment. That level of commitment is what has helped earn us a seventh consecutive year of recognition from both clients and talent — and it is what drives real results in complex healthcare environments."

Built for the Demands of Healthcare IT

With deep roots in healthcare operations and a workforce of EHR and technology experts spanning Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, and beyond, CereCore creates an environment where contractors are prepared for success and clients can advance critical technology initiatives with confidence. From structured onboarding to ongoing support to specialized expertise, every step is designed around the pace, complexity, and accountability required in healthcare IT.

The recognition underscores CereCore's continued focus on pairing healthcare IT talent with the operational context, preparation, and support needed to deliver meaningful results for clients and consultants alike.
