Staffing Industry Analysts recognition reflects Elite365's rapid growth and continued evolution into a diversified national healthcare workforce solutions organization
IRVING, Texas and TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Elite365 Family of Brands ("Elite365"), a national healthcare workforce solutions organization, has been ranked number 49 on Staffing Industry Analysts' (SIA) 2026 Largest Healthcare Staffing Firms in the United States list. This placement in the top 50 on the 214-company list places Elite365 among the nation's leading healthcare staffing organizations, and marks another milestone in the company's rapid expansion since its founding in 2022.
Staffing Industry Analysts is a global research and advisory firm focused on staffing and workforce solutions. Its annual rankings provide an independent view of the size and competitive landscape of the U.S. staffing industry, making inclusion on the list an important benchmark of scale and market presence for healthcare workforce organizations.
"Reaching the top 50 is an exciting milestone for Elite365, but what I'm most proud of is what this ranking represents," said Carolina Araya, Chief Executive Officer of Elite365 Family of Brands, a 2026 Staffing 100 North America honoree by SIA. "In just a few years, we have built an organization capable of supporting healthcare clients and clinicians across multiple specialties and workforce models. That growth has been intentional. We have invested in talented people, specialized expertise, technology, and complementary businesses that allow us to solve more complex workforce challenges for our clients. This recognition belongs to every member of our team who has helped build Elite365."
Since its founding, Elite365 has transformed from a startup into one of the nation's fastest-growing healthcare staffing organizations. Over four years, it has expanded into multiple specialized workforce segments, completed strategic acquisitions, launched international nursing services, and positioned itself for its first managed service provider (MSP) offering.
Over the past year, Elite365 has built a diversified portfolio with six divisions and doubling revenue in the locum tenens and allied health segments. Elite365's International Nursing Division has more than 600 nurses in its pipeline to immigrate to the U.S. and work in communities where they are needed. Elite365 has also continued to expand its locum tenens and allied health capabilities while investing in technology, operational infrastructure, and new workforce solutions designed to help healthcare organizations manage increasingly complex talent needs.
That expansion has been driven by a combination of organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and investment in healthcare staffing segments where workforce demand remains significant. Today, the Elite365 Family of Brands brings together specialized healthcare workforce organizations under a unified strategy, with solutions spanning locum tenens physician and advanced practice staffing, allied health, international nursing, travel healthcare and permanent placement.
Elite365's rise to No. 49 on the SIA list comes as the organization enters its next phase of growth under Carolina Araya, who was named CEO in 2026 after previously serving as Chief Operating Officer. A healthcare staffing executive with more than 25 years of industry experience, Araya is leading the continued integration and expansion of Elite365 with a focus on scalable growth, operational excellence, and comprehensive workforce solutions.
The No. 49 healthcare staffing ranking is the latest in a series of recent recognitions from Staffing Industry Analysts that reflect Elite365's growing scale and presence within the U.S. staffing industry. These include placement on SIA's 2026 Largest Locum Tenens Staffing Firms in the U.S. list, and recognition of Elite365 founder Tracy Clark and Elite365 CEO Carolina Araya on SIA's 2026 Staffing 100 North America list.
Together, these rankings demonstrate Elite365's evolution from an emerging healthcare staffing company into a diversified workforce solutions organization with growing national reach.
"Scale matters when it enables you to deliver more value," Araya added. "Our goal is not simply to become larger. It is to use our growth to give healthcare organizations greater access to talent, more workforce options and a partner that understands the different ways they need to build and sustain their teams. As we continue to grow, that focus will remain at the center of our strategy."
Elite365 Family of Brands is supported by Regal Healthcare Capital Partners as its growth equity partner.
