Recruitment requires more than posting job openings and hoping for the best. It demands a strategic, data-driven approach that seamlessly aligns with an organization’s goals, culture, and long-term vision.
At Hueman, we’ve developed The Hueman Way—a holistic framework that integrates the five key pillars of recruitment: People, Process, Technology, Marketing, and Reporting. Excelling in the top 10% across these areas isn’t just our standard; it’s the foundation of how we deliver unmatched recruitment solutions to our partners.
Let’s dive into each pillar of our approach to see how the Hueman Way differentiates us from competitors and empowers us to deliver outstanding recruitment results.
People: Skilled, Engaged, and Dedicated to Your Success
At Hueman, we believe that great recruitment starts with great people. That’s why we focus on hiring highly skilled and engaged professionals who bring passion and expertise to every partnership. With 84% of Hueman’s workforce engaged, compared to the U.S. average of 34% (Gallup), our team’s dedication far exceeds industry norms.
Hueman has been a Great Place to Work Award recipient for 16 consecutive years.
This level of engagement isn’t just a number—it’s a game-changer. Engaged recruiters are more driven, responsive, and committed to delivering exceptional service. They immerse themselves in your organization’s culture and values, ensuring they become true ambassadors of your employer brand.
To set our recruiters up for success, we provide extensive recruitment training and partner-specific onboarding. This allows them to act as genuine extensions of your team while meeting your hiring objectives.
Additionally, our recruiters have access to ongoing professional development opportunities, including certifications in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), ensuring they remain at the forefront of talent acquisition.
