It’s no shock that recruiting employees in senior care is difficult. Providers are struggling to get candidates in the door. Hours of phone tag, interview no-shows and candidates accepting other offers are leading to wasted time. Recruiters need a proven, effective strategy to ensure that they are getting through to candidates quickly and efficiently.

It’s not as common to answer a call from an unknown number as it once was – leading to delays in the hiring process, frustrated recruiters and employees finding other places to work. With new technology on the rise, it’s easy to quickly get a text to your candidates to automatically connect and schedule an interview. And the best part is that 90% of text messages are read in 3 minutes.
