Custom Hiring Software
Client Overview
One of the world’s largest home healthcare companies, serving over 150,000 patients across 23 states in the U.S., as well as in Germany, India, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Korea, sought to transform its hiring process. The objective was to develop a comprehensive digital hiring platform that simplifies recruitment and onboarding for caregivers while delivering an intuitive experience for both recruiters and candidates.
Business Challenge
Recruitment in the healthcare sector presents unique challenges due to stringent compliance requirements, workforce shortages, and the critical need for high-quality caregiver-client matches. The client faced multiple hurdles:
- Long Hiring Cycles: The manual hiring process took approximately 45 days from screening to onboarding, directly impacting business operations and caregiver availability.
- Integration Complexity: The new system had to seamlessly integrate with multiple core platforms, including Practice Management Systems, Workday, SkillSurvey, Sterling, DocuSign, Indeed, and Zoom.
- Recruiter-Caregiver Alignment: Matching the right recruiter to the candidate was a manual process, leading to inefficiencies.
- Client-Caregiver Fit: Ensuring that caregivers were assigned based on skills, preferences, and patient needs was a challenge.
- Regulatory Compliance: The solution needed to maintain 100% adherence to healthcare recruitment standards.
