Tandym Group, a leading staffing firm with deep roots in healthcare and IT, has acquired Entitech Solutions—a software company serving the life sciences and pharmaceutical industries. This strategic move not only expands Tandym’s technology portfolio but also reinforces its commitment to modernizing healthcare staffing, including its growing locum tenens division.
Backed by Mill Rock Capital and ICG, Tandym ranks as the 51st-largest staffing firm in the U.S., according to Staffing Industry Analysts. The acquisition of Entitech is expected to enhance Tandym Catalyst, the company’s AI-enabled platform, allowing for more seamless integration of tech-driven solutions across clinical and non-clinical staffing. For locum tenens, this means smarter scheduling, improved credentialing workflows, and better data visibility—critical components in a sector where speed, compliance, and flexibility are paramount.
CEO Byrne Mulrooney emphasized that the acquisition aligns with Tandym’s long-term vision to deliver integrated, tech-forward services. Michelle Keefe, non-executive director, noted that Entitech’s capabilities will help Tandym meet the evolving needs of healthcare clients, especially those navigating regulatory complexity and workforce shortages.
As demand for temporary physicians and advanced practitioners continues to rise—driven by burnout, retirements, and shifting care models—locum tenens staffing must evolve beyond placement. Tandym’s investment in software infrastructure signals a future where staffing firms act not just as talent providers, but as strategic partners in operational efficiency and patient care continuity.
This acquisition reflects a broader industry trend: the fusion of staffing expertise with digital innovation to meet the demands of a strained healthcare system. For locum tenens, it’s a step toward smarter, more resilient workforce solutions.
