A not-for-profit health system in Maryland
dedicated to advancing community health
through compassionate care and innovation.
The Challenge
Growth is a sign of success—but it can also bring steep challenges, especially in healthcare. As one not-for-profit health system in Maryland set out to open a new 180-bed hospital, expand outpatient services, and launch specialty clinics, leaders faced a critical question: how do you recruit hundreds of clinical, administrative, and operational staff, quickly and efficiently, without losing sight of your culture and mission?
The stakes were high. Across several years, the organization needed to fill roles for not just one, but multiple major expansions—including a brand-new hospital, three cardiology clinics, and a new patient tower—each demanding specialized skills, compassion, and alignment with the system’s patient-centered values.
Our Solution
Hueman stepped in as a true partner, designing a comprehensive, multi-phase recruitment strategy aligned to each milestone in the health system’s growth journey. Our approach went far beyond filling seats:
-
Embedded Partnership: Our recruiters acted as an extension of the internal TA team, collaborating with leadership, building relationships, and supporting every department through each new opening.
-
Culture-Based Screening: Every candidate was evaluated not just for skills, but for their fit with the health system’s compassionate mission and not-for-profit culture.
-
Workforce Planning and Sourcing: Through data-driven planning and targeted campaigns, we ensured talent pipelines were ready ahead of each expansion, adapting quickly to changing needs without compromising quality.
From high-volume frontline roles to specialty clinical talent, our goal was simple: to help the health system grow its impact, while maintaining the standard of care that made it a pillar of the community.
Our Results
1,000+ hires for the new 180-bed hospital
25+ specialists recruited for cardiology clinic expansion
250+ staff hired for the new patient tower opening
At every stage, Hueman’s partnership enabled the organization to meet its hiring goals on time and with confidence. Each expansion launched fully staffed, and every new hire joined a culture dedicated to compassionate care and innovation.
Perhaps most importantly, our recruiters didn’t just fill roles—they helped build teams ready to advance community health, support leadership, and live the organization’s mission every day.
