Before GENESIS, recruiters could move applicants forward quickly- often relying on in-person assessments and spot checks.
Now, the system works like a sifter without any mesh, everything, big or small, falls through.
Sprained wrist as a kid? Flagged.
ADHD meds taken briefly in the 9th grade? Flagged.
Wisdom teeth removal + a week of Vicodin? Flagged.
Each flag creates a “trouble ticket” that recruiters must resolve, often across multiple hospitals and forms, only to be told the documentation isn’t sufficient. Meanwhile, applicants grow frustrated and give up.
Hiive Health doesn’t replace MHS GENESIS, it complements it with a smart logic layer that does what the current system can’t: triage flags based on real readiness relevance.
Here’s how it works:
Healed fracture in 4th grade? Auto-clear
ADHD meds stopped 5 years ago with no recurrence? Eligible
Wisdom tooth extraction + opioids?
Do not flag
Our platform connects to GENESIS data, applies branch-approved rulesets, and routes only truly disqualifying issues for review. Recruiters spend less time chasing dead ends, and more time moving applicants forward.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
Every month this problem goes unaddressed:
Qualified applicants wait 2–3x longer than before

But it was never built for recruiting speed. Without the right triage intelligence layer, it overwhelms the very people tasked with getting new soldiers in uniform and keeping our country safe.
hiive health is ready to help:
Reduce medical review times by 40–60%
Clear backlogs without compromising safety
Automate waiver documentation
Keep qualified recruits moving instead of walking away
