MSI International buys healthcare IT staffing firm

MSI International, a 48-year-old recruiting firm based in Atlanta, acquired Masters IT LLC, a recruiting firm for healthcare IT professionals. This acquisition enables MSI to provide contract IT professionals for the first time since 2008, when it sold its two IT divisions.

The transaction closed Jan. 1; terms were not disclosed.

The Masters IT brand remains as an Atlanta-based division of MSI International and Masters IT partner Anthony Sisco will take the role of general manager of Masters IT. The division provides contract and full-time IT professionals, including analysts, project managers, directors and CIOs. The company projects $5 million in sales from this division in 2016.

“It’s my pleasure to welcome Anthony and his team,” said Eric Lindberg, president, CEO and founder of MSI International. “We have wanted to grow and offer IT contractors to our clients for a while and this acquisition allows us to satisfy those needs.”

MSI targets the banking, finance, healthcare, manufacturing and engineering sectors. The employee-owned company is headquartered in Atlanta with offices in Dallas; New Orleans; Monroe, La.; and Greenville, SC.
