Our Partner: A Small Healthcare System in Northeastern Rural Connecticut.

 

The Challenge

Our partner faced an uphill battle attracting and hiring qualified candidates in a highly competitive market. With larger hospitals nearby offering higher compensation, organic applicant traffic was extremely low. Beyond limited applicant flow, the partner needed help refining recruitment processes and strengthening employer branding to appeal to prospective nurses, diagnostic imaging staff, and clinicians.

Our Solution

Hueman partnered with the organization,  embedding recruiters into the HR and talent acquisition teams. This close integration built a strong foundation of trust and collaboration. Over time, leadership entrusted Hueman to act as a true extension of their team.

Together, we:

  • Enhanced sourcing efforts
  • Revamped job descriptions and career site content
  • Introduced new employer engagement strategies
  • Supported process changes
  • Shared best practices

Our Results

Despite low organic applicant traffic, Hueman delivered strong results through proactive sourcing and employer brand improvements. Of 94 external hires, our team sourced 43 directly, demonstrating the impact of our hands-on approach.

Equally important, the partnership transformed how the HR team approaches recruitment. Built on trust and collaboration, Hueman has become not just a partner but an extension of their internal talent acquisition team.
