Our Partner: Adventist HealthCare, a not-for-profit healthcare system in the Mid-Atlantic
The Situation
Hueman’s partnership with Adventist HealthCare began in 2017 with a narrow, urgent mandate: fill a backlog of nearly 40 emergency department nursing vacancies. Within a year, Adventist expanded Hueman’s RPO scope to cover nursing portfolios system-wide. As Adventist entered a service agreement with Howard University Hospital in 2019, the team grew again. Then COVID hit, and what began as recruiter support became embedded operational leadership.
What started with one Hueman recruiter now includes a 15-person recruiting team led by a Hueman Talent Acquisition Director, encompassing both Hueman and Adventist internal recruiters operating as a single, unified function. Today, the team delivers 3,000+ hires annually for 500+ hiring managers across the Adventist system.
Our Results
Over a decade of partnership has helped establish a highly collaborative relationship with Adventist’s leadership team and hiring managers. The partnership has delivered outcomes across every dimension: dramatically reduced time-to-fill, near-zero reliance on travel nurses, 8M+ in premium labor savings, a robust international nursing pipeline, and a nurse residency program with the largest cohort sizes in Maryland. Explore Hueman’s Healthcare RPO capabilities to see how these results can be replicated.
Key Partnership Value + Benefits
The established partnership between Hueman and Adventist ensures a future-proofed talent acquisition strategy regardless of what challenges in the talent market may arise. Additionally, Adventist’s team can remain focused on tackling new and arising HR challenges outside of talent acquisition, while ensuring that their talent acquisition needs are always handled. For example, while Adventist's leadership team dealt with the repercussions of the pandemic, Hueman was able to continue business as usual to avoid disrupting an already established talent acquisition strategy.

You can’t tell the difference between a Hueman team member and us. They learned our culture and used their skill and professionalism to deliver their services. They’re just YOU, they just become you…Hueman’s team is very close, they are part of our team. We celebrate together, we grieve together, and we’ve done that for the last five years.”
