Don Langmo, chief executive officer of Healthcare Scouts, saw the need to create a solution for the growing demand he saw for professional permanent placement services in the healthcare industry

Langmo created other successful companies that have responded to today's staffing challenges; Custom Staffing, Inc., which Langmo founded in 1995 and Healthcare Support Staffing. With Healthcare Support Staffing, "We realized there was a void of quality, healthcare specific, staffing options in the marketplace." said Langmo. "We've found a specialized niche, mainly providing staff to healthcare related firms."

In a similar way Healthcare Scouts helps fill another void in the marketplace as retention and staff shortages continue to be a major concern for quality patient care. Healthcare Scouts provides National Permanent Placement for licensed healthcare professionals, specializing in pharmacy, nurse-case management, medical laboratory, and respiratory therapists.Langmo attributes the company’s explosive growth to taking the time to understand the specialized employment needs of the healthcare community.

"We've found a specialized niche. As a specialty services firm, we understand that our specialization and our level of service is something our clients respect and trust," said Langmo. As members of national associations and frequent attendees at healthcare related events nationwide, Healthcare Scouts understand the unique needs of today's healthcare professionals. "Increasingly, healthcare clients are turning to us because they know we've invested the people and resources to learn exactly what their hiring needs are and how we can fulfill them in a way that ultimately is more cost-effective and efficient than if they handled it themselves."

Previously, Langmo was a Management Consultant for Deloitte & Touche in Atlanta, GA, focusing on helping executives at Fortune 500 companies develop corporate strategy for business in the consumer products, chemicals, aerospace, retail, electronics and financial services areas. His areas of consulting expertise included: marketing strategy, capital structure, manufacturing operations, international marketing and mergers and acquisitions.

Langmo started his career as a Process Engineer for Bosch Corporation in Charleston, SC, designing and building automotive assembly operations, including electronic fuel injection systems and anti-lock brake systems. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Clemson University in Clemson, SC, and an MBA from the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL, with a concentration in finance.
