Schaal's recognition adds to a long list of awards for the company in 2026, amid its expansion into a full-scale workforce solutions provider
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Jeff Schaal, Chief Executive Officer of VeloSource LLC ("VeloSource"), a premier St. Louis-based healthcare staffing provider and portfolio company of Interlock Equity ("Interlock"), has been named to the prestigious Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) Healthcare Staffing 100 list. Schaal was selected for the annual awards program honoring the impact of individual leaders in the healthcare staffing industry as the company continues a year of significant expansion and transformation from locum tenens agency into a full-scale workforce solutions provider.
"I am honored to be selected for this year's Healthcare Staffing 100 list, and would like to extend my sincere thanks to the team at SIA," said Schaal. "This recognition is also a reflection of VeloSource's incredible growth and the drive of our team, especially this past year. Even as we expand our operations, our people never sacrificed quality–and the rapid expansion our company has undertaken in 2026 hasn't moved that principle an inch."
With over 26 years of industry experience and a competitive entrepreneurial drive, Jeff Schaal co-founded VeloSource to challenge legacy healthcare staffing standards and establish a dominant market presence. As CEO, he has led VeloSource's strategic evolution from a traditional locum tenens agency into an enterprise-grade workforce solutions partner providing holistic, scalable clinical staffing strategies for healthcare systems nationwide.
As architect of the company's long-term growth strategy, Jeff recently led the milestone acquisition of Syncx, which expands VeloSource's technological capabilities, diversifies its service offerings, and solidifies its position as an agile industry innovator.
Throughout this rapid scaling, Jeff has remained dedicated to two core pillars: making VeloSource a high-performing, high-trust ally for healthcare clients and providers, and cultivating an internal culture where employees are valued, empowered, and positioned for professional growth.
This year, VeloSource announced the launch of its newly expanded brand, powered by the intuitive platform technology behind Syncx, which the company acquired earlier in 2026. VeloSource will also absorb the brand and operations of Quest Locum Tenens ("Quest"), which was also acquired at that time. VeloSource will now offer clients a one-stop, full suite of quality workforce solutions, including VMS, MSP, physician float pool, and applicant tracking systems.
Schaal's recognition adds to a long list of awards for the company in 2026. The company was recently named to SIA's 2026 Largest Healthcare Staffing Firms in the United States list and SIA's Largest Locum Tenens Agencies. SIA also included VeloSource on their 2026 Best Staffing Firms to Work For list, and in 2026, VeloSource co-founder and board member Patrick Donovan was named to the National Association of Locum Tenens Organizations (NALTO) hall of fame.
