The New Rules of Caregiver Recruitment
Let’s be blunt: traditional hiring is ripe for change. Posting job ads and hoping for applicants won’t cut it. Winning agencies are using AI, automation, training and persuasive marketing to attract caregivers.
Take Cypress HomeCare Solutions—they slashed hiring time from four weeks to under seven days using machine learning and automated candidate vetting. Are you still doing things the old way?
Another innovator is Caribou, a platform that simplifies caregiver recruitment and retention by leveraging data-driven hiring insights, automation, and rewards. Agencies using Caribou report faster hires and higher retention rates.
Retention: Why Caregivers Leave (and How to Stop It)
Most agencies think retention is about money. It’s not. Caregivers quit because they feel overworked, undervalued, and unsupported. Fix these, and they are more likely to stick around.

Tech: The Hidden Weapon in Workforce Management
If you’re not automating, you’re wasting thousands of dollars and operational hours every month. AI-driven scheduling, applicant tracking, and automated training management make running an agency easier, faster, and more profitable.
How to Build a Future-Ready Workforce
The caregiving industry is shifting fast. Agencies that fail to adapt will be crushed. Those who embrace recruitment automation, retention strategies, and workforce optimization will dominate.
