HARP Platform

Introducing HARP: Revolutionizing Recruitment Efficiency

We’re excited to launch HARP, our new recruitment system designed to streamline the hiring process. HARP automates candidate matching by analyzing key factors like location, experience, and certifications, ensuring fast and accurate placements. It also tracks compliance, alerting us to expiring credentials, and provides real-time data analytics to improve recruitment strategies.

With Phase 2 launching in January 2025, HARP will further enhance efficiency by automating direct submissions to clients. This evolving platform is set to transform our recruitment process, allowing us to deliver faster, smarter results.

A Message from our Health & Wellness Manager Gladys Hokanson

This year HHS rolled out a wellness program for one of our clients. It is a voluntary offering by the client to offer a comprehensive health and wellness program that focuses on prevention and early detection.

Hines Health Services (HHS) offers early detection screening and comprehensive care to improve employees’ physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Benefits of an occupational health program such as this include:

• Legislative compliance
• Economic benefit: A wellness program can significantly reduce costs related to workplace illness and injury and no work-related absenteeism.
• Employee well-being: Prioritizing health boosts employee morale, enhances job satisfaction, and reduces turnover rates. A safe and healthy workplace fosters a positive organizational culture.
