Combining Business-Savvy with the Support and
Experience of an Industry Leader

Dorika Beckett is an entrepreneur with an undergraduate degree and a MBA from Harvard University. With a background in management consulting and as the founder and CEO of her own successful online gaming software company (which she later sold), Beckett started her own healthcare staffing agency in 2003. “As I built the business, I decided I needed a partner for back office and financial support. At the rate I wanted to grow, I needed a lot of capital and the support necessary to grow at a fast pace.” A year after starting her business, Beckett chose to partner with ATC Healthcare, an experienced leader in the healthcare staffing industry.

If you’re searching for a high-demand, professional business to own, ATC might be ideal for you. In the most basic sense, an ATC License is an employment agency specializing in the temporary placement of medical professionals to healthcare facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies and doctor’s offices. ATC’s services are needed at a growing rate throughout the medical community.

An Industry with Massive and Widespread Demand
Beckett, whose background is in online and new media, always had an interest in the healthcare field. When she realized the industry was in dire need of staffing solution providers, it was natural for her to build a business in the industry. “My sister is a nurse. When she decided to come to America, she got her Green Card very quickly. Much more quickly than I did as a graduate of Harvard University. I realized that there is a huge need for and shortage of healthcare professionals in the U.S.” The healthcare staffing industry is booming and the demand continues to grow for the services of companies such as ATC Healthcare. In fact, the industry was at $10.6 Billion in 2006 and is projected to grow at 7.5% per year, according to BMO Capital Markets.

What Makes ATC Healthcare Different?
“I noticed that there was competition in the industry in California but they were not as professional or service-oriented as they could be.” Beckett’s goal is to be the best in class healthcare staffing company in the country. She owns most of ATC’s California territories and has grown her business at an incredible speed. In fact, her business is the fastest growing license in the ATC Healthcare license network. Beckett currently has 20 employees in 6 offices throughout California. On any given day, her offices have placed over 200 healthcare professionals in temporary jobs in hospitals and offices throughout the state.

The Ideal ATC Licensee
“I didn’t have any industry experience when I started my business. It was both a plus and a negative. I believe part of my success has to do with not having industry experience and doing things my own way. With that said, the healthcare industry is very specific. Without industry experience, I had to hire employees that understood the industry,” said Beckett.

She continued, “In terms of personality, you must love people because you will be dealing with people every day that work in very serious environments. You should also enjoy a fast-pace because things can change minute by minute in this industry. This combination means you must have a huge emotional quotient. You can’t be short with people and you have to be their solution when problems arise. You need a lot of personality to succeed in this industry!”
