Tactical Back Office

Tactical Back Office: A new approach to finding front and back office personnel.

The DME/HME industry is constantly in need of well-trained front and back-office personnel. Highly educated and well trained employees with excellent communication skills are hard to find. Tactical Back Office (TBO) provides a more effective, and less costly approach to hiring front and back-office staff. Finding the most experienced employees to help build your business can be risky. And hiring the wrong person can be costly.

TBO has an extensive pool of talent cultivated over years of training. Their candidates are highly educated and understand the healthcare industry. The training process is far more comprehensive than any other staffing firm, with TBO taking on all costs of recruitment, screening, hiring, and training. There is no risk to their clients. Their business model has proven to reduce turnover and increase retention rates far beyond industry averages, improving profit margins and reducing overhead. Clients have seen the following benefits:

Under 5% turnover rate
Fully-trained personnel
No language barriers or time constraints
Reduced overhead and increased margins
