Vanguard Professional Staffing - The Science Behind Social Work & Human Service Temporaries

Creative, Proactive, Cost-Effective Solutions to Workforce Issues

We are in the business of improving the long-term effectiveness and efficiencies of the workforce in human services. We help you get the most from limited budgets. And we keep your service delivery to your customers as a top priority, as we intimately understand your systems and their complexities.

We have staffed:

  • Vacant caseloads due to turnover or leaves of absence
  • Periods of peak demand
  • Program start-up
  • Excessive service demand with no new permanent positions
  • Call center operations
  • VIRTUAL STAFFING - in services and eligibility
  • Temp-to-perm opportunities
  • Specialized consultants
  • Targeted service needs
  • Full-time or part-time staffing options
  • Contracting on an initial trial basis to test the "fit" of an employee for permanency
  • Training - both program and knowledge/skills

    We are experienced in providing services in Administration, Management, Social Work, Eligibility, Behavioral Healthcare, Counseling, Therapy, Child Support, Training, Supervised Visitation, and In-Home Services

    We provide payrolling services when that option best meets our customers needs.

    We Also Offer:

    We offer you LOW-RISK WORKFORCE ALTERNATIVES. We take care of recruitment, screening, referencing, and credentialing. The professional is usually our employee, covered under our PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE. If you are not satisfied with the employees performance, we work with you to problem-solve. If that is not successful, we will promptly remove the employee and seek immediate replacement.

    Your Cost:

    The most common method is a pre-arranged fee per hour for each professional placed with you, based on the position classification and qualifications you want of the professional. Additional costs may include compensation for an excessive commute for the placed professional. These hourly employees keep weekly time sheets.

    Other services are priced on production, allowing for significant cost savings over Full Time Equivalency positions.

    Some consultation, training, or special targeted need services can be priced on a fee-for-service basis.

    Our creativity extends to our pricing options. We have successfully worked within existing and limited agency budgets to create the right solution.
