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. 

Picture this: 50 eager applicants flooding in for your caregiver position, and the excitement is palpable!

But then, the plot twist – you connect with 9, and 4 draw a blank on your agency. You’re frustrated and ask yourself a nerve-wracking, 'why did they even apply'?!

The key is here is how you differentiate yourself. Put yourself in your applicants’ shoes. Potential employers are reaching out to them every single day.

You spend tons of time writing job ads, filtering and contacting applicants to find the “right” caregivers.

You get applicants on the phone just to find out that they don’t remember who you are or why they applied to your agency.

It’s incredibly frustrating. It’s a massive waste of money and energy spent on candidates who just don’t seem serious.
