Competent Care
- Looking Beyond Job Boards to Reach Today's Top Applicants -
hiring top home care talent before the competition
Competent Care Home Health has been serving Orange County, California and its surrounding areas since 1988. The agency is owned and operated by registered nurses who are dedicated to providing experienced, quality home care services delivered with compassion, integrity and reliability. In early 2019, Competent Care Home Health, started working with Hireology to increase its quality applicant flow and speed up hiring.
The Power of the Hiring Process
Before partnering with Hireology, Competent Care Home Health relied on job boards such as Indeed and Craigslist for all required applicant activity. With job boards alone, the agency often fell short in terms of the total number of applicants and quality applicants.
Using a diverse sourcing strategy to reach applicants
Competent Care Home Health also found that interacting with job board support was difficult and the team felt like they didn’t have a true partner looking out for them and their best interests – relationships job boards were more transactional.
Competent Care Home Health started working with Hireology to implement a streamlined hiring process and improve the overall results of their recruitment marketing and hiring efforts. Specifically, Competent Care Home health has made the most of the following Hireology solutions:
Hireology Customer Service
Since the Competent Care Home Health team faced difficulties interacting with job board support, they greatly value their relationship with Hireology’s Customer Success team. Dedicated Customer Success Managers serve as strategic hiring consultants, helping Competent Care Home Health optimize each step of the hiring process. Customer Success helps Competent Care Home Health implement best practices across writing job descriptions, candidate sourcing, interviews and other strategic efforts to find great talent.
Candidate Text Messaging
Prior to partnering with Hireology, Competent Care Home Health didn’t have a streamlined way to communicate with candidates. With Hireology text messaging, the team can keep candidates engaged throughout each step of the hiring process. Hireology data found that on average, businesses reduce time to hire by eight days by tapping into candidate text messaging.
Prescreen Surveys
One of the challenges the Competent Care Home Health team faced with job boards was that they often received and had to spend time manually reviewing applicants who were not a fit for their open roles. Prescreen surveys enable the team to only spend time reviewing qualified applicants, speeding up the review process and ensuring only the most qualified candidates move forward.

“Prescreening and other steps in the hiring process have helped us secure well-qualified caregivers and nurses for our clients. As a result, our clients are happy and want to work with us more – and they’re also referring us to others. Hireology has helped us with all of this.”
–Kim Mason, Hiring Manager, Competent Care Home Health

Hireology Customer Service
The team at Competent Care Home Health is confident that Hireology’s Customer Success team has their best interests in mind. Here are a few anecdotes Kim Mason, Hiring Manager at Competent Care Home Health had to share about the Customer Success team:
“At one point, we had an urgent client need for caregivers but no applicants, so our dedicated Customer Success Manager immediately helped us focus our budget in such a way that we had an immediate influx of qualified caregiver applicants to choose from.”
“Another example of how the Hireology Customer Success team team helps us is how they have taught us to make the most of the candidate text messaging part of the app. This was something that never occurred to our team as an effective way to interact with applicants – but again, our Customer Success Manager taught us how to use it and how we can make the most of this tool.”
