One of Our Differences – Hiring Caregivers

Over the course of the next couple of weeks, our blogs will focus on our differences: the things that make Always There Home Care stand out from other homecare companies.

The first aspect of Always There Home Care that makes us stand out is the process by which the founder of the company, Jeff Bond, hires caregivers. He interviews more than 50 people a month. During this interview, Jeff learns if these potential caregivers have the characteristics that are necessary to make a quality caregiver. A caregiver needs to be passionate about what they are doing. While everyone needs to earn a living, working for the money alone does not make a good caregiver. For years, Jeff taught and worked as an administrator in schools. This experience taught him how to gauge somebody’s personality based on their reactions and facial expressions when he speaks with them. When Jeff starts talking to somebody he is interviewing about the passion, care, concern, and dedication needed for this job, he can tell by their expressions if they are serious about what they do and if they will be a good caregiver with this particular company.

From the 50 plus people Jeff interviews, he invites 15 of them to attend the training session. During this training session, Jeff watches the way that the potential caregivers interact. Somebody who displays genuine curiosity and interest in what they learn during training, is more likely to be offered as job as a caregiver with Always There Home Care.

The client’s happiness is our #1 priority. Therefore, Jeff is only willing to hire caregivers that display themselves as dedicated, passionate, and hard working people. So, out of the 15 potential caregivers who attend training, about half of them are hired and sent out as caregivers who represent Always There Home Care. The caregiver interview and hiring process is just one way that Caring Hearts Homecare Assistance stands out as a quality homecare company!
