Information for aged care providers
If you are like the many aged care providers who deliver quality care services to your clients, you will have probably experienced the frustration involved in trying to source qualified, experienced and caring individuals genuinely interested in working in the aged care industry.
It can be an exhaustive, frustrating and expensive process, often compounded by the competitive rigours of the industry and complexities of meeting employee expectations with the restrictions your model of service delivery may present.
Understanding the challenges of the industry and consulting with over 100 care workers, actively working in a care role has enabled SMP to form a solution based response to meeting the needs and wants of both carers and the industry.
The premise of our business model is simple ;
"If we recruit quality care staff with the skills, competencies and personalities required of the industry and connect them with quality employers, then carers, providers and the industry as a whole will benefit."
Our recruitment outcomes are clear ;
- To minimise the impact, cost, time and resources required to recruit, allowing providers to focus on their core business of providing quality care services to their clients.
- To assist carers to maximise their employment opportunities within the industry.
Ultimately creating a win-win situation for both employer and employees.
At Bliss we work closely with all our clients to provide a seamless service that ensures we meet your needs.
We do this because we know and understand your business and recruitment needs and can provide a timely, cost effective solution to attracting the best and brightest the industry has to offer.
The recruitment process
Before a candidate can be registered with Bliss, an extensive screening and interview process is conducted. Only candidates who meet the competencies and personal characteristics expected of the industry are registered and will be put forward for client introductions.
Our screening and interview process includes ;
- Conducting face-to-face interviews with all candidates (prior to client introductions).
- Conducting a 100+ point proprietary assessment exclusive to SMP.
- Sighting all listed qualifications, police clearances, first aid and manual handling certificates.
- Checking references.
- Assessing behavioural and attitudinal responses through scenario testing.
We also alleviate much of the secondary and often time consuming tasks associated with recruiting, including ;
- Fielding candidates for suitability prior to conducting face to face interviews.
- Liaising with candidates during and post the recruitment process.
- Providing feedback to unsuccessful candidates.
- Sending acknowledgement and thank you letters.
If you would like to be kept informed of newly registered candidates that meet your organisational needs then why not register with Pulse our free email / SMS notification service.
Recruitment simplicity
The key to our success is our ability to attract the best and brightest the industry has to offer.
The key to your success is simplification of the recruitment process.
We like to call it recruitment simplicity.
Simply ;
- Phone us to discuss your needs or make an appointment or
- Email / fax us a current job description for a position you are currently trying to fill
- Submit an online request for staff.
Once we are able to clearly ascertain your needs, SMP can provide you with profiles of registered candidates that match you criteria (eg. casual, evening shifts in the South). When you are satisfied that we have provided you with the experience and skill sets you require, we start to organise candidate introductions.
Pending a successful introduction, SMP will extend offers of employment to successful candidates (you may wish to do this yourself) and provide feedback to unsuccessful candidates.
Congratulations, you have new staff!
