Healthcare Recruiting

Redefined

We were sick and tired of lackluster results when utilizing recruiting agencies to staff our businesses, so we started our own.

Staffosaurus was founded by a group of healthcare entrepreneurs who shared the struggle of hiring qualified staff for their respective businesses. After countless attempts at utilizing recruiters and staffing agencies, each of them decided to do the work themselves, and found their own proprietary formulas for finding the best candidates in the industry for many successful ventures. What was the common theme amongst these entrepreneurs? They each utilized their own personal networks to find highly recommended candidates from trusted sources. Aside from the decades of experience it took to grow their respective networks, this process still took countless hours of phone calls, emails, and text messages. When sharing their common struggles and tricks-of-the-trade , they decided to combine forces to create a powerful recruiting agency that would redefine the term. Staffosaurus utilizes its unmatched, nationwide network and decades of healthcare industry insights to quickly target and recruit top professionals from MD’s and Clinical Directors, to Business Development Specialists and Digital Marketing experts.

Meet The Team

Carley Smiddy

CEO

​​Born and raised in sunny San Diego, Alumna of UCLA, and now a Delray Beach, FL transplant. Her career took off in the recovery industry as Director of Accounts for a Behavioral Health Marketing Agency, where she partnered with hundreds of treatment facilities to navigate their complex ecosystems and craft growth-focused marketing strategies. It was there she discovered that the real secret sauce to success wasn’t just strategy—it was assembling the right team of people to make the magic happen.

That passion led Carley to Staffosaurus, where she initially stepped in as Director of Client Success, helping healthcare companies across the nation find the perfect talent to fuel their growth. Think of her as the ultimate talent paleontologist—digging deep to uncover hidden gems and building dream teams one placement at a time.

In 2025, Carley was promoted to Chief Operating Officer, leading Staffosaurus through a period of record-breaking growth and operational innovation. Now, as Chief Executive Officer, she’s steering the Staffosaurus herd toward even bigger adventures, ensuring the company remains the go-to dinosaur of recruiting across all industries.

Outside the office, Carley can be found trying new things, performing improv, making near-weekly trips to the local zoo, and spoiling her beloved black cat, Lucy Lou.

Louis Pompeo

Director of Strategic Partnerships

Strategic Partnerships guy by day, dad-taxi by night. He spent 15+ years in mental health before moving into recruiting, where he brings the same stubborn belief that people can change and the same stubborn refusal to sugarcoat anything. He’s serious about building lasting partnerships, and believes a straight answer beats corporate jargon every time.

Kelby Thiebaut

Brand & Marketing Strategist

Kelby has spent her career proving that “business as usual” in hiring and retention is broken and puts smarter, more human solutions in place. With years of experience in behavioral health admissions, hiring and leadership, she knows the difference between filling a spot on a staff roster and bringing on a team member who changes the game. 

Kelby approaches workforce design like a blueprint: every role, every person, every detail matters. She’s not afraid to tell leaders what they need to hear, and she stands alongside them for support and guidance through changes and improvements. 

She is recognized for her ability to blend analytical problem-solving, understanding of human behavior and unapologetic honesty to approach outreach and create cheeky content in a way that makes you stop and think “I’m glad someone finally said it.”

When she’s not on the clock, Kelby can usually be found wrangling her small children, brainstorming wild new content ideas or working on a list of never-ending, self-assigned projects to reach her personal and professional goals.

Courtney Gerhardt

Senior Recruiter

Courtney has been with the company for 3.5 years, mastering the fine art of connecting talent with opportunity. When she’s not recruiting like a pro, you’ll find her crocheting like someone’s grandma (with the yarn stash to prove it).

Outside of work, Courtney spends time with her husband, and is usually accompanied by her dog, Abba (best described as 90% baked potato and 10% Coney Island street dog). She’s also proud to hold the highly competitive title of “World’s Best Aunt.” And if you’re in the office, you can usually find her with her celebratory desk harmonica – played so poorly that it’s somehow become tradition.

Chip Roy

Senior Recruiter

Chip is a native of Louisiana and has been working in the behavioral healthcare industry since 2016. Chip specializes in helping clients and candidates navigate through the hiring process from beginning to end. He works diligently to ensure our clients are matched with candidates who will support the goals of each organization. In his free time, Chip enjoys traveling, working out, and spending time with his family.

Chris McCarthy

Recruiter

I’m a recruiter with 5 years of experience. Born in Chile and raised in Lexington, KY. Outside of recruiting, I’m a passionate sports fan who follows Arsenal and the Cincinnati Bengals—despite the highs and (many) headaches they bring each season.  

Nicole Getz

Recruiter

A Florida girl through and through, Nikki brings warmth, energy, and a people-first approach to everything she does. After majoring in Psychology at the University of Central Florida, she found her calling in staffing and recruiting, where she blends her understanding of people with her drive to make a positive impact. Nikki loves recruiting because it allows her to build meaningful client relationships while also helping individuals find jobs that truly improve their quality of life. She thrives on creating connections that make a difference for both candidates and organizations. In her free time, Nikki enjoys exercising, getting lost in a good book, and cheering (loudly) for her favorite New York sports teams.

Tierra Carson

 Recruiter

Tierra has been recruiting for 5 years. She is known for her unshakable calm and dry sense of humor. She could probably deliver breaking news like, “By the way, your house is on fire,” in the same tone most people use to order a coffee—she’s so chill her aunt didn’t even believe her house was actually on fire.

Megan Stanton

Business Development Representative

Megan comes to Staffosaurus with a background in Health Science and years of experience in both staffing and outside sales. She’s passionate about building strong partnerships, getting to know her clients on a personal level, and making sure every placement is a dino-mite match.

Her favorite part of the job? Forming lasting relationships that go beyond a transaction, because to Megan, it’s never just about filling a role, it’s about helping a company and candidate roar-succeed together.

When she’s not helping businesses grow their teams, you might catch Megan playing some beach volleyball, hunting down new coffee spots, and enjoying the outdoors. 

We’re Waiting To Help You

Our process is quick and easy. Three simple steps to find you the perfect candidate.

Phone Consultation

15 minutes could save you from hiring 15 of the wrong candidates! In our initial call we’ll quickly evaluate your current staffing needs, learn about your specific challenges and discover your unique company culture. We will recommend the most efficient and cost-effective method to solve your problems. We believe that most internal issues can be solved immediately with the right hire. We’ve found that often the open position you’re looking to fill isn’t exactly the one that will alleviate your difficulties. Instead of just filling the open position, we’ll advise you (at no cost) to make strategic hires to solve those problems.

The Search

The Staffosaurus Approach is to utilize a hybrid method to search for qualified candidates. First, we use our own personal rolodex of hundreds of well-connected Healthcare Executives to find warm referrals from qualified individuals. Next, we employ the traditional route of combing through thousands of candidates currently interested in a new opportunity through digital platforms. By utilizing both strategies simultaneously, we are able to find the best possible candidates with remarkable speed and efficiency.

Interview & Hire

Review and interview candidates for free! Our white glove approach to the interview process is aimed to keep things simple and stress free. We simply ask for a few time slots that are ideal for you and we will automatically add interviews to your calendar once resumes are approved. All you have to do is decide which of the perfect candidates you’d like to hire. We will also assist with salary negotiation and scheduling start dates with your HR team.
