Hiring velocity is accelerating across healthcare (365 roles) and security (139 roles), with active projects spanning medical accreditation, mental health program development, and operational dashboards; pain points cluster around health-service cost control, staffing gaps, and federal compliance, indicating internal pressure to improve service delivery margins while meeting accreditation standards.
