NEW YORK (November 2024) – Brighton Health Plan Solutions has been named the winner of the 2024 WorkLlama Candidate Experience Award, which recognizes the delivery of an exceptional experience at every stage of a job candidate’s hiring journey. It is one of eight TIARA Talent Acquisition Awards awarded annually by TALiNT Partners, a global organization providing insight, intelligence, networking and advisory services.
Brighton HPS was recognized for its innovative approach to personalizing the candidate journey and embedding its DE&I strategy throughout the entire recruitment process.
“Our greatest asset is our workforce, and our ‘culture-first’ approach to recruitment and hiring reflects our commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive and diverse environment,” said Julie Bank, chief people officer of Brighton HPS. “I’m proud of the work our company has done to build an environment where each person feels supported, recognized and appreciated, no matter their role.”
Brighton HPS, which helps self-funded organizations deliver better healthcare to their members, is a progressive company that encourages employees to bring their true selves to work and fosters a culture where everyone can feel seen and appreciated.
The company’s approach shifts the traditional focus of hiring managers from assessing only technical skills and qualifications to prioritizing cultural alignment, values and employee engagement. For example, the talent acquisition team leverages data insights and applicant tracking system technology to customize candidate interactions based on interests and background. Throughout the hiring process, candidates experience the company’s culture of authenticity and are encouraged to provide feedback on areas such as communication, cultural alignment and inclusivity.
Focusing on employee success has helped Brighton HPS meet the fast-growing needs of its customers by scaling its service lines. Since implementing its culture-first recruitment strategy, Brighton HPS has seen a 20% increase in offer acceptance and time-to-hire has decreased by 15%. Brighton HPS’ efforts have been especially impactful with candidates from diverse backgrounds. Post-interview feedback shows that 90% of candidates from diverse backgrounds felt the process was inclusive, and the retention rate was 20% higher within their first year than in previous hiring cycles.
Brighton HPS has also recently received awards from BenefitsPro, OnCon, USA Today, and Best Companies Group and COLOR Magazine for its work to foster a culture of authenticity and support for all employees.
