Augusta Home Care Recruiting

The top two challenges for caregiver recruiters are #1) too many low quality applicants, and #2) not enough applicants.

When you're looking to strengthen your hiring process, which one do you start with first?

If you try attracting more applicants without the ability to convert them, you're wasting resources. Without applicant volume, though, you can't hire more caregivers.

🎥: https://www.augusta.care/blog/from-applicants-to-hires-closing-the-recruiting-ex*****on-gap-with-ascension-business-solutions/

From Applicants to Hires: Closing the Recruiting Ex*****on Gap covers common caregiver recruitment challenges, such as low applicant volume and interview show-up rates, in order to provide data-backed advice on fixing the leaks in your hiring funnel.

Some highlights:

-Be proactive, not reactive—the first step to attracting more applicants is setting up processes and automations that can handle the increase in volume.

-Track conversion, not just volume—of the applicants you received this month, how many were hired? Tracking conversion helps home care agencies understand where the leaks in their hiring funnels are

-Technology plus people—Augusta's data shows that 56% of hires are made within four days of applying. Delegating rote tasks to technology leaves room for recruiters to quickly follow up with qualified applicants.
