Recruiting

In care services, a shortage of qualified staff limits provision more than a lack of demand. This category collects articles on how care providers receive applications through their own website: career pages that describe daily work honestly, job postings containing the details applicants actually look for, short application routes without a mandatory cover letter, mobile forms and quick responses. We also cover the visibility of vacancies in search engines and job portals, dealing with employee reviews and referral programmes within the team. All recommendations remain feasible for organisations without an HR department — and without promising application numbers that nobody can seriously guarantee. We also cover what happens after an application: who responds within which timeframe, and which information do applicants expect at first contact?
