Our Partner: A State-of-the-Art, stand-alone cancer hospital in northern New Jersey designed to deliver world-class care to patients.
The Challenge
In 2022, a central not-for-profit health system in Northeast Florida was preparing for an ambitious expansion: the opening of a brand-new, full-service hospital, alongside additional emergency departments and satellite offices. The stakes were high—over 400 clinical, operational, and administrative roles needed to be filled in record time to meet the community’s growing need for care.
But timing wasn’t the only hurdle. The labor market was more competitive than ever, making talent attraction and retention particularly challenging. For the health system’s leaders, success depended not just on speed but on maintaining their high standards for patient care, culture fit, and operational excellence.
Our Solution
Hueman joined forces with the health system’s talent acquisition leadership to build a recruitment strategy tailored for this critical launch. Our team became a valid extension of their organization, bringing an embedded, high-touch approach to every stage of the hiring journey.
-
End-to-End Partnership: From proactive sourcing to final onboarding, our recruiters covered high-volume frontline roles and hard-to-fill specialties with equal dedication.
-
Consistent Communication: Regular alignment meetings and real-time updates ensured that TA, operational leaders, and hiring managers moved in sync—minimizing bottlenecks and driving clarity.
-
Culture-First Screening: Every candidate was evaluated not just for skills, but for alignment with the health system’s values, ensuring long-term retention and engagement from day one.
-
Data-Driven Agility: By leveraging labor market insights, volume forecasting, and pipeline metrics, Hueman kept hiring on track while adjusting tactics in real time as needs evolved.
Our Results
- 400+ hires completed across the new hospital, ERs, and satellite offices.
- Full staffing was achieved ahead of the grand opening.
- Seamless partnership between Hueman and talent acquisition leadership.
This large-scale launch not only met but exceeded expectations. Every department opened fully staffed and ready to deliver exceptional care—proving that the right recruitment partner can turn a complex challenge into a competitive advantage. Most importantly, the hospital’s leaders felt supported, the community’s needs were met, and every new employee was welcomed into a culture that puts people first.
