Our Screening Process

After so many years in business, the majority of our candidates have been either placed with us in the past, or are referred by placed candidates. Of those remaining, our recruiting process begins by casting a wide net across many mediums, including print, web, and sourcing candidates directly. Each caregiver then has to go through our intensive screening process, eliminating 90% of applicants. This ensures that our clients do not have to spend any time sifting through applications or worrying about qualifications. You can make one call and rest assured that we will quickly find you the best candidate for your needs.

Below are the steps in the screening process:

1. Minimum requirements fulfilled (at least 21 years old, non-smokers, and eligible to work in the U.S.)
2. On-line application completed
3. Screening interview completed
4. Related references/employment verification checked
