Our Partner: Midwest academic healthcare organization with over 10 hospitals and 60 clinics
The Challenge
Our partner aimed to strengthen their internal recruitment team by bringing in specialized sourcing expertise, particularly in areas where they relied heavily on premium labor. Their primary goals included:
- Reducing reliance on travelers and premium labor in key areas.
- Increasing the volume of external hires.
- Introducing innovation, technology, and best practices to improve recruitment efficiency.
- Enhancing both hiring manager and candidate experiences through high-touch service.
Our Solution
Hueman implemented a customized RPO solution with a team of 8 dedicated recruiters. This team focused on filling the partner’s most challenging roles, such as Registered Nurses (RNs), Surgical Technologists, and Respiratory Therapists (RTs). To drive efficiency and increase external hires, we introduced the following tools and practices:
Technology Enhancements: Leveraged tools like Calendly for streamlined candidate scheduling, MailChimp for targeted email campaigns, and pay-per-click optimizations alongside third-party sourcing tools.
Best Practices: We introduced recruiter sourcing training, optimized SEO for job ads, standardized phone screen templates, and developed a comprehensive recruiting playbook to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery.
Our Results
Over our two-year partnership, Hueman successfully made 1,700+ hires, significantly helping our partner to reduce their dependency on RN and RT travelers and premium labor. We exceeded our hiring goals, resulting in a 20% reduction in the contracted cost per hire. Additionally, one of the partnership’s key objectives was to increase external hires, and Hueman achieved a remarkable 63% increase in total external hires.
