Soliant Sponsors Podium X

JACKSONVILLE, Florida  – March 7, 2024 

Podium X continues to expand its comprehensive career services tools with the addition of  
Soliant, a staffing company that values hiring former athletes in entry level positions.   

The Atlanta based Soliant is a national leader in healthcare and education staffing with offices in Georgia, Florida, Illinois, South Carolina, California, and Texas. The company identifies and sources highly skilled health care professionals across a wide range of specialties and connects them with health care providers in education, nursing, and pharmacy, primarily temporarily.  

“Soliant is a great company that offers a fun, fast-paced culture with great leadership, excellent development programs, lots of opportunity for upward mobility and good compensation,” says Rich Thompson, founder and CEO of Podium X. “We have seen a great deal of success with athletes that have been hired by Soliant through Podium X, and we are excited to have them as formal sponsors.”   

The Podium X platform (www.podiumx.com) offers companies access to talent representing the most dedicated, resilient, focused and competitive candidates on the market. As a sponsor, Soliant will receive additional exposure through Podium X’s marketing efforts and will have their job openings featured to potential candidates. 

“In today’s environment, there is a premium put on the type of winning mentality possessed by athletes who have reached the highest levels, all while juggling the rigors and demands of both school and athletics,” says Thompson, a former Division I athlete himself.  “These former athletes possess the qualities that make great employees and prove to be an asset to companies recognizing their potential.” 

With a database of thousands of former athletes representing 394 schools and formal partnerships with 25 colleges and universities, Podium X offers companies a simple sourcing solution to supplement their talent acquisition strategy.  The Podium Profiles help companies quickly understand the strengths of individual student athletes and offers a matching tool that narrows down applicants to the desired criteria for candidates to hire.  

Athletes enjoy using Podium X because it eliminates the cumbersome and overwhelming process of combing through a job board and instead provides them with a list of job openings that match their preferences. All companies in the database are interested in hiring athletes who may have little traditional job experiences but who are desired for their transferrable skills gained through athletics and valued for the winning traits – commitment, grit, resilience, teamwork, focus – that it takes to be a high-level athlete. 

Podium X also offers athletes a simple process to highlight themselves to hiring companies through their own online Podium Profile which serves as an enhanced resume listing business, athletic, leadership and educational experience, even media clips about their sports careers. Students can create traditional resume PDFs with one click, apply to jobs within the platform or externally with AI assistance to create cover letters, thank you notes, interview prep and resume optimization.
