Our Mission: To offer personalized non-medical support services that maintain our clients' dignity, independence, and quality of life — delivered with genuine concern for their welfare.
Position Summary
We're looking for a driven, people-focused caregiver recruiter to build and maintain a strong pipeline of compassionate, reliable caregivers. This role is central to our ability to serve clients well: every caregiver you hire directly shapes the quality of care a family receives. You'll own the full recruiting lifecycle — from sourcing and screening candidates to interviewing, background checks, and onboarding — while helping build a culture that attracts and retains great caregivers.
Key Responsibilities
- Source caregiver candidates through job boards, social media, community partnerships, referrals, career fairs, and other creative channels.
- Write and post compelling job ads; manage postings across multiple platforms.
- Screen resumes and applications; conduct phone screens and in-person or virtual interviews.
- Verify candidate qualifications, certifications, references, and work history.
- Coordinate and track required background checks, drug screenings, and compliance documentation in accordance with state and company requirements.
- Guide selected candidates through onboarding, orientation, and required training.
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date candidate records in the applicant tracking system.
- Build and nurture a pipeline of qualified caregivers to meet ongoing and future staffing needs.
- Develop relationships with local schools, community organizations, churches, and caregiving programs to build a steady referral network.
- Track recruiting metrics (time-to-fill, source effectiveness, retention of new hires) and report on hiring progress.
- Partner with scheduling and care management staff to understand current and upcoming staffing needs.
- Represent Assisting Hands professionally at community and recruiting events.
- Support retention efforts by helping identify why caregivers stay or leave, and feeding that insight back into recruiting strategy.
Qualifications
- High school diploma or equivalent required; associate's or bachelor's degree in human resources, business, or a related field preferred.
- 1+ years of recruiting, staffing, or human resources experience; experience in home care, healthcare, or a related service industry strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with caregiver certifications (CNA, HHA) and state home care compliance requirements a plus.
- Proven ability to source candidates through multiple channels, including social media and community outreach.
- Experience with applicant tracking systems (ATS) and general recruiting tools.
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation (for community outreach and events).
- Ability to pass a background check.
Skills & Attributes
- Warm, personable communicator who can quickly build rapport and trust with candidates.
- Strong judgment for evaluating character, reliability, and caregiving aptitude — not just resumes.
- Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple candidates and requisitions at once.
- Self-motivated with a sense of urgency; comfortable working toward hiring goals and deadlines.
- Genuine passion for senior care and improving the lives of older adults and people with disabilities.
- Discreet and professional in handling sensitive candidate and client information.
- Comfortable with phone-heavy work and some evening/weekend availability for candidate outreach or events.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay
- A mission-driven, supportive team environment
- Opportunity to make a direct, meaningful impact on seniors and families in the community
- Room to grow within a well-established home care franchise
- Ongoing training and professional development
