The only HR firm built exclusively for HHS organizations - serving providers across Greenville, Lexington, and the broader Midlands region. We find the gaps. We build the systems. We stay until they run.
The Wilkinson Firm is an HR consulting firm built exclusively for behavioral health, IDD, and community health organizations in Greenville, South Carolina. We design HR infrastructure, compliance systems, retention frameworks, and direct-hire placement specifically for HHS providers regulated by the South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) and Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (DDSN). We know the gap between SCDMH licensure and DDSN waiver requirements, and we build HR systems that satisfy both without doubling your administrative load.
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.
South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) and Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (DDSN) rules, Healthy Connections Medicaid (SCDHHS) and SC LLR licensing for clinical professionals, and federal HIPAA / OSHA layered together. We know where the audit risk actually sits in South Carolina, not where a national firm assumes it sits.
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.
Your audit risk is not generic. It is South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) and Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (DDSN), layered with Healthy Connections Medicaid (SCDHHS) and SC LLR licensing for clinical professionals, layered with federal labor and privacy law. We build HR systems that satisfy every layer.
