Too many start up care companies are panicking that they can’t hire staff.
This leads to:
1. Becoming reliant on agency staff.
2. Panic hiring.
3. Wasting too much money on adverting that doesn’t get results.
If you follow my top 3 tips in this video, I guarantee that you’ll never struggle as a start up care company 📈

📈 What is your advertising cost per hire for hiring Care Assistant’s and Support Workers?
👉 Cost per hire is calculated by the amount of money you spend on advertising against how how many people you have hired AND have STARTED to work for you.
E.g. if you spent £1000 in February and you hired 5 staff, your cost per hire = £200.00

❌ Indeed ❌
It needs to be made clear to ALL care organisations that Indeed is there to:
✅ Show people your job adverts.
✅ Make it easy for people to apply to work for you.
✅ Be a user friendly experience
✅ Help care companies to be able to quickly contact people who’ve applied for jobs.
✅ Search and headhunt people.
✅ Help with branding your care company with images and videos.
It is NOT a platform that will:
❌ Call candidates for you.
❌ Make sure people start working on rota for you.
👉 More and more care companies are struggling to hire and retain care staff in the current social and economic climate.
SO STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR RECRUITMENT PROBLEMS 🤬
1️⃣ CALL candidates who’ve applied - you do NOT need to arrange a call.
2️⃣ Leave a VOICEMAIL if the person doesn’t answer.
3️⃣ Send a templated EMAIL on Indeed.
4️⃣ Send a TEXT message saying you’ve called.
5️⃣ The candidate with either call you back or message you back at a more convenient time to speak.
6️⃣ 10 minute phone screen.
7️⃣ Book in a face to face interview.
8️⃣ You should be hiring 80% + of people who attend your face to face interviews.
9️⃣ Grow and amazing, happy workforce.
🔟 Repeat the above steps daily.
You can do it!!! 🚀

Watch my ‘Top 5 tips on using Indeed to hire Care Assistants’ below.
I have managed care companies Indeed pages for over 3 years now.
What are the benefits of this?
1. Companies spend on average 4 hours a day on Indeed. What would getting 20 hours a week back mean to the quality of care your team provides?
2. Your Registered Manager/s can spend more time on doing what they want to do - being a Registered Manager - not an administrator or recruiter.
3. You can focus more on delivering excellent care to clients.
4. You have someone who knows how to get more people applying.
5. More people applying means more interviews.
6. More interviews means more hires.
7. More hires means you’re able to deliver better care.
8. More hires means you can remove all of your agency spend.
9. Removing agency spend means you can save £10,000 - £100,000’s every year.
10. You can scale the company and grow your team.
11. You will retain more staff as they’re not burnt out.
12. Better staff satisfaction = better CQQ results.
The list is endless.

I’m away for 2 weeks in Palma Nova, Majorca.
During this time I’ll be;
1. Walking a lot
2. Laying on a beach
3. Drinking Pina Colada’s
4. Swimming
5. Sleeping
6. Reading
7. Staying away from emails.
One thing I’m aiming to stay on top of is fitness.
I’m very happy where my business is at, but it’s 3.5 years now and I have completely neglected my health and fitness.
I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts with people saying that as soon as you improve your health, your business and work life will improve.
Do you agree with that?
Anyway, for 2 weeks I’ll still be sharing my recruitment and retention knowledge which will help you and your teams.
⬇️ Here’s a good one for you ⬇️
👉Ask your internal teams to write down (individually) what they’re looking for in care staff.
Ask them to write down 10 traits that they’re looking for when they interview a person face to face.
Then, read over what has been written down.
Then, all get together for 1 hour and go over what people are looking for.
Is is IMPERATIVE that people do this alone.
Why? So you can see if you as a collective company are all looking for the same things in candidates.
You’d be surprised how many staff say that it’s non negotiable that candidates must have experience and then others say that’s not needed.
1 hour this week.
That’s all it takes.
Then, just see how much your processes will have improved.
Good luck!
