PLANO, Texas – June 27, 2023 – Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) announced that Sheldon Arora of LiquidAgents Healthcare was named an Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 Southwest Award winner. The Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program is one of the preeminent competitive awards for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies. Sheldon Arora was selected by an independent judging panel made up of previous award winners, leading CEOs, investors and other regional business leaders. The candidates were evaluated based on their demonstration of building long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, growth and impact, among other core contributions and attributes.
“I am deeply honored to receive this prestigious award and grateful to Ernst & Young for the recognition,” said Sheldon Arora, CEO of LiquidAgents Healthcare. “Our teams are dedicated to delivering our healthcare workers white glove treatment on a daily basis. We go the extra mile to ensure “concierge-level” support to healthcare workers and it makes all the difference to the people out in the field.”
LiquidAgents Healthcare, the most award-winning healthcare staffing agency, provides clinical staffing solutions to public and private health systems across the U.S. for travel nursing, travel allied and permanent placement. The company provides experienced healthcare professionals, staffing flexibility, industry-leading credentialing methods and dedicated customer support.
LiquidAgents Healthcare is certified by The Joint Commission with a “Gold Seal of Approval,” and is recognized by the National Association of Travel Healthcare Organizations and Staffing Industry Analysts as a trusted leader in the healthcare staffing space.
Arora is also the founder and CEO of StaffDNA, a digital marketplace for healthcare job seekers. The company launched its namesake app three years ago to deliver unprecedented user autonomy and transparency in pay packages. The app has been downloaded over one million times by job searchers seeking more control over the job search process than traditional staffing models provide.
