The only HR firm built exclusively for HHS organizations - serving providers across Miami-Dade, Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, and the broader Miami Metro 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 Miami, Florida. We design HR infrastructure, compliance systems, retention frameworks, and direct-hire placement specifically for HHS providers regulated by the Florida Department of Health and Human Services (AHCA), Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS). We work with Miami-area providers navigating SMMC plan transitions, CABHA designation, and the NC-specific clinical supervision requirements that out-of-state firms routinely miss.
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.
Florida Department of Health and Human Services (AHCA), Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Use Services (DMHDDSUS) rules, SMMC plans, Managing Entity contracting, and Critical Access Behavioral Health Agency (CABHA) standards, and federal HIPAA / OSHA layered together. We know where the audit risk actually sits in Florida, 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 Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) licensure and the Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse, layered with DCF behavioral health regulation, SMMC managed care credentialing, and APD requirements for IDD services, layered with federal labor and privacy law. We build HR systems that satisfy every layer.

Miami HR consulting for behavioral health, IDD, and community health organizations.
Miami's behavioral health market is the deepest in the Southeast on paper, with 10,240 licensed counselors metro-wide. In practice, the market that matters is smaller: bilingual, culturally competent clinicians in a region where Spanish and Creole capability is not a bonus but the job. Jackson Health anchors the system; the Managing Entity structure and SMMC plans set the rules. Hover or tap a tile to see how we solve each one.
PlacementCare runs relationship-driven bilingual clinical search with a maintained South Florida bench, not a job posting into the void.
PlacementCare →Talent Magnet builds the offer tourism cannot match: credential pathways, advancement, and schedule respect, priced against real Miami wage data for both industries.
Talent Magnet →Compliance Confidence industrializes screening and credentialing: one calendar, one file standard, monthly verification.
Compliance Confidence →Hiring in Miami is a numbers game most agencies play blind. This metro employs 10,240 licensed behavioral health counselors and 28,350 direct support workers. Counselor pay runs $60,290, right at the Southeast metro average. We recruit and advise against these numbers, not against guesswork.
