Indeed.com has recently limited free, organic job postings to a single feed, making it more essential for employers to consider sponsored posts for visibility. In this article, we explain the new changes, including the continuation of free traffic for jobs indexed from external sources like your career site or ATS, and how Augusta's partnership with Indeed can help you navigate this shift. We also highlight how Augusta's caregiver-specific ranking algorithms and home-care-focused data can help you maximize ROI, optimize your recruitment processes, and connect with the right applicants efficiently in a paid-driven job market.

Recruiting caregivers for your home care agency can be challenging enough, but it's even more frustrating when those same caregivers don't bother to pick up the phone after applying for your jobs. You may have put in a significant amount of time, money, and energy into trying to find qualified caregiver applicants, only to be repeatedly met with radio silence, missed calls, or unanswered texts.

If every unemployed person in the United States today had a job, there would still be 3 million unfilled roles, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. At the same time, home care agencies get anywhere from dozens to thousands of applicants each week to their positions. The fact is, there are millions of people across the country applying for caregiver jobs every month.
