What we do for Atlanta HHS providers

HR systems built for the regulators who actually audit you.

The Wilkinson Firm is an HR consulting firm built exclusively for behavioral health, IDD, and community health organizations in Atlanta, Georgia. We design HR infrastructure, compliance systems, retention frameworks, and direct-hire placement specifically for HHS providers regulated by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). We sit in your time zone, know the DBHDD provider manual cold, and have placed clinical and operational hires across the I-285 perimeter and the OTP suburbs.

Why Atlanta HHS providers work with TWF

Built for HHS, not adapted to it

Most HR firms work generalist. We work HHS-only. Every system, policy, and placement is designed for behavioral health, IDD, and community health operating reality — not retrofitted from a SaaS or manufacturing playbook.

GA-specific compliance

Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) rules, Department of Community Health (DCH) and Georgia Families Medicaid CMOs, and federal HIPAA / OSHA layered together. We know where the audit risk actually sits in Georgia, not where a national firm assumes it sits.

We stay until the system runs

We don't deliver a binder and disappear. Every TWF Signature Program™ includes implementation, training, and follow-through until the system is operating without us. PlacementCare™ includes an 18-month placement guarantee.

The Georgia regulatory stack — covered.

Your audit risk is not generic. It is Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), layered with Department of Community Health (DCH) and Georgia Families Medicaid CMOs, layered with federal labor and privacy law. We build HR systems that satisfy every layer.

  • DBHDD Provider Manual standards for behavioral health and IDD providers
  • Georgia Families CMO credentialing and re-credentialing files
  • CARF and Joint Commission accreditation reviews
  • HIPAA, OSHA, and Georgia Department of Labor wage compliance
