In healthcare, hiring is never just about filling positions; it’s about delivering exceptional care to every patient, every day. Our partner, a large multi-location health system in Tennessee, faced a daunting staffing challenge: more than 800 open roles, many in high-demand specialties like nursing and imaging.
This demand put pressure on their talent acquisition team, affecting both day-to-day operations and their ability to meet critical patient care goals. Leadership recognized the need for a better, faster way to connect with the right talent and knew their hiring process needed a strategic overhaul to keep up with community needs.
From day one, Hueman became more than a vendor; we became an extension of the hospital’s talent acquisition team. Our recruiters and sourcing specialists are fully embedded with internal staff, joining team huddles, streamlining workflows, and keeping everyone aligned through weekly updates and open group chats.
Key to our approach:
We made over 1,100 hires across clinical and non-clinical roles, significantly reducing vacancy rates.
The interview-to-hire ratio improved to just 1.8:1, reflecting a more targeted and effective recruitment funnel.
Open requisitions dropped from over 800 to roughly 500, delivering stability and operational breathing room.
Both executive leadership and front-line staff provided enthusiastic feedback about Hueman’s collaborative, “always-on” approach. Our people-first process didn’t just fill jobs; it built trust, enhanced candidate experience, and helped the system move closer to its patient care and operational goals.
