Why hire a recruiter?

As a business owner in the senior care and home care industry, you likely wear multiple hats to ensure your business is running successfully. But what happens when your business grows to the point where you need additional staff? It’s time to hire.

Hiring professionals in the home care industry takes time and effort. In this candidate market, you have to be strategic in sourcing and responding to applicants in a timely manner. Using a professional recruiter to hire top talent not only saves you time in the hiring process, but it also provides you access to highly qualified candidates that you may not get from a regular job ad.

Recruiters can even save you money, too! Have you looked into your cost-per-hire? According to recent data, the average cost per hire is about $4,600. In addition to that, ask yourself “How much is it costing the business to NOT have this position filled?” Have you been trying to fill this position for months? Not only have you spent a lot of financial resources on job postings but you likely also exhausted other efforts that are costing your business money - your other employees are likely working to find candidates to fill this position. Is that taking time away from their position duties?

You may be surprised to find that hiring a professional recruiter to fill your full time senior care position with your home care agency, may actually save you money. Contact us today for your senior care hiring needs!
