End-of-year traditions have ancient roots, dating back about 4,000 years to the Babylonians, all going the way to modern celebrations that include watching the Times Square ball drop and sharing Spotify’s “Wrapped” on social media. Year in review reflections are a cherished tradition, offering a moment to pause, look back, and appreciate the journey over the past year. This gives all of us a chance to take a breath, gain insights, celebrate achievements, and set intentions for the future.
At Harver we decided to do the same: take a look back and share some of the highlights of our efforts. 2024 has been a year of growth, innovation, and collaboration. In our ongoing mission to support you in finding the best talent, this year we’ve taken significant steps to make that process even stronger. We’ve categorized those achievements into four main areas: innovating assessments and matching, improving the candidate experience, automating the hiring process, and enhancing business insights
