Faster hiring, better talent, and reduced costs, learn how Highmark Blue Shield uses Glider AI power their enterprise recruiting

Overview

Competitive hiring and high demand for qualified IT candidates made filling time-sensitive IT job reqs challenging even for the well-known Blue Cross Blue Shield healthcare company. Even with months of screening candidates, many lacked the proficiency presented on their resumes.

Outcomes

With Talent Quality an issue, Highmark Blue Shield implemented Glider AI skills assessments across all its suppliers to screen and validate competency and fit. Staffing firms could only submit candidates for consideration after they had passed the Glider AI assessments.

This is the most impactful thing we’ve done in terms of time and cost savings—it’s been huge. We love the Glider AI, it’s light years ahead.
