- HireReach: The Mercy Health Story: HireReach uses a strategy based on one developed for Mercy Health in 2010. The health system implemented an evidence-based selection process to improve talent acquisition. The process evaluated candidates holistically, targeting skills relevant to each job and reducing the potential for unconscious bias. After hiring over 10,000 candidates using the process for the past eight years, Mercy Health reports: First-year turnover of those hired using the strategy dropped 23%, the amount of time it took to hire a candidate dropped 16%; and the diversity of the workforce more than doubled.
