Your board will say no
to outsourcing.
This isn't outsourcing.

Edge is a complete hiring infrastructure — physical campuses, managed devices, compliance-first security, and pre-trained talent. Built specifically for organizations where the default answer is no.

What your board imagines vs. what Edge actually is

The word "outsourcing" triggers images of overseas call centers and loss of control. Edge is the opposite — purpose-built infrastructure that gives you more control, not less.

Every Objection, Answered

The 7 reasons boards say no —
and why they don't apply here

We've sat across the table from hundreds of hospital administrators, practice managers, and agency principals. These are the objections we hear. Here's the data.

1
"Our board won't approve offshore staffing"

This isn't offshore staffing. It's managed infrastructure. Edge operates from secured, company-owned campuses — not homes, not co-working spaces. Your professionals work on Edge-provisioned hardware with MDM, endpoint encryption, and zero-trust VPN. Biometric access controls. 24/7 physical security. It's the same level of control as an on-site hire — with better security than most hospitals provide their own remote admin staff.

Your board approves cloud hosting (AWS), payment processing (Stripe), and EHR systems (Epic) that process data globally. Edge operates at the same standard — with a BAA signed before Day 1.

2
"We can't risk a data breach — $7.42M average cost"

Healthcare data breaches cost an average of $7.42 million per incident (IBM, 2025) — and 70% of healthcare breaches involve insiders, not external hackers. The biggest risk isn't a sophisticated cyberattack. It's an employee on an unsecured personal device.

Edge eliminates this vector entirely. Every professional works on managed hardware with MDM, DLP (data loss prevention), no USB access, no local storage, no split-tunnel VPN. Compare that to your current admin staff working from home on personal laptops with shared WiFi.

Our security posture is independently audited: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, SIEM monitoring 24/7, and annual penetration testing. Edge has had zero data breaches since founding.

"Quality will drop — they won't know our systems"

Edge professionals arrive pre-trained on your exact platforms. Through Edge Edu — our 4-week certification academy — every hire completes industry-specific training before you ever meet them. Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, AMS360, Applied Epic, HawkSoft — they're already certified.

One customer said it best: "When the Edge talent starts working in EPIC, there's very little we have to show them." — Kathy Heglin, George Petersen Insurance (who also uses Epic-based systems).

The result? Our retention rate across 1,000+ placements is 97%. That's not a staffing agency metric. That's a reflection of genuine competence.

"We tried something like this before — it didn't work"

Most organizations that "tried remote staffing" used one of two models: freelance marketplaces (Upwork-style, no training, no security, no infrastructure) or traditional BPOs (call-center model, high turnover, lowest-bidder talent). Both fail in healthcare because they weren't designed for high-trust environments.

Edge is purpose-built for industries where mistakes cost lives and compliance isn't optional. We own the campuses. We provision the hardware. We train the talent. We handle payroll, legal, HR, equipment, and compliance. Every hire has a dedicated Customer Success Manager. And if a hire doesn't work out, we replace them at no cost within the guarantee period.

That's why 97% of our customers were first-time remote hirers who said "we tried this and it didn't work" — until Edge.

"We need this to scale — can you handle 20, 50, 75+ hires?"

DHR Health — one of the largest physician-owned health systems in the U.S. (120+ locations) — scaled from 3 Edge hires to 75 across 13 departments in 3 years. They save $1.2M annually with a 97% retention rate and 15-day time-to-hire (versus the 49-day industry average).

Edge's talent marketplace is designed for enterprise scale. We continuously recruit, screen, and train professionals before demand arrives. When you need 10 hires in a month, we don't scramble — they're already trained.

Our pipeline is virtually unlimited because we invest in talent development upstream, not just-in-time recruitment.

6
"Our patients / clients will know they're not local"

Edge professionals are English proficiency-verified at the professional level — not conversational. Every hire passes standardized English assessments as part of our 8-step screening. Many are bilingual (English + Spanish), which is a competitive advantage in markets with diverse patient populations.

These aren't answering-service operators reading scripts. They're trained dental assistants who know CDT codes, medical scribes who navigate ICD-10, and insurance CSRs who process certificates in Applied Epic. Your patients interact with someone who understands their industry — not just their language.

Professional English verifiedBilingual talent availableIndustry-trained, not script-reading

"What if it doesn't work? We can't afford to be locked in"

$0 until you hire. No long-term contract. Cancel anytime.

We structured Edge this way intentionally. If we have to lock you in to keep you, we've already failed. Our 97% retention rate and 500+ active customers aren't the result of contracts — they're the result of performance.

Start with one hire. Evaluate for 30, 60, 90 days. If it's not working, walk away. If it is, scale. That's how DHR went from 3 to 75. That's how George Petersen went from "let's try one" to 6 hires and 51% faster recruiting.
