Own caregiver recruiting strategy and sourcing: Build recruiting campaigns, manage job boards and recruiting platforms, develop community partnerships, and continually improve where and how CareWorks finds qualified caregivers.
Own the in-office hiring pipeline: Take over once qualified candidates reach the office, conduct structured final interviews, assess fit and reliability, complete in-person hiring steps, extend offers, and transition hires into onboarding.
Guide and support the virtual recruiter: Coach the recruiter on phone screening, candidate messaging, follow-up, reference checks, sourcing activity, and pipeline management.
Lead In-Office Orientations: Coordinate and lead interactive, in-person onboarding and orientation sessions that welcome new hires and clearly communicate agency expectations.
Collaboration: Partner with the remote HR Coordinator to maintain seamless employee files, delegating administrative paperwork while maintaining ultimate legal responsibility for the workforce.
