Here's what caregiver hiring looks like at most home care agencies today:
With turnover rates near 75% annually, home care agencies are always hiring. But most don't have a recruiting system — applications come in through job boards, onboarding is manual, and the person handling it is also handling scheduling, billing, and everything else. CareBravo delivers the hiring pipeline within the same system that runs your operations.
Here's what caregiver hiring looks like at most home care agencies today:
This is what hiring requires on traditional platforms — a separate recruiting process, manual credential tracking, background check coordination by hand, onboarding paperwork collected offline, and then re-entry of every detail into the scheduling system. Most agencies can't dedicate someone to recruiting. So hiring competes with every other operational function for the same person's time — and with 75% annual turnover, it never stops competing.
CareBravo delivers the hiring pipeline within the same system that handles scheduling, training, and compliance. No separate ATS. No spreadsheet tracking. No re-entry into another platform.
Caregiver applications are received and tracked within CareBravo. Pipeline status — new, screening, interviewing, offer, onboarding — is visible in the same system that manages operations. No separate ATS or job board management tool.
Licenses, certifications, and required credentials are verified and tracked within the system. Expiration dates are monitored — when a credential approaches expiration, it's flagged. No separate spreadsheet. No manual reminder system.
Background check requests are initiated within CareBravo and results tracked in the same system. The caregiver's onboarding status updates based on check completion — no separate tracking between the background check service and your recruiting process.
Required documentation — forms, policy acknowledgments, tax documents, direct deposit — is collected through the onboarding workflow. Required training is assigned. The caregiver's file builds within the same system they'll be scheduled in.
State-required and agency-required training is assigned during onboarding. Training completion is tracked within the same system — caregivers with incomplete required training don't become eligible for scheduling. Training and hiring stay connected.
When credentials are verified, background check is cleared, onboarding is complete, and required training is finished — the caregiver becomes available for scheduling. Skills, certifications, availability, and location are already in the system. No re-entry. Application to first shift, one system.
Every step that traditionally lives in a separate system or a separate process is delivered within the same system that runs operations. The caregiver hired today is the caregiver scheduled tomorrow — without re-entering their information, without transferring data between platforms, and without the person handling hiring also needing to manage a separate recruiting tool.
In home care, hiring isn't a seasonal function — it's constant. Agencies that can't keep the pipeline moving fall behind on fill rates, lose referrals, and stretch existing caregivers too thin.
When hiring lives in a separate system, it competes with scheduling, billing, compliance, and every other function for the same person's time. The functions that are most urgent today always win. Hiring gets delayed — and open shifts stay unfilled.
The best caregivers don't wait. Agencies that take two weeks from application to first shift lose candidates to agencies that take five days. A faster pipeline means better caregivers — which means better retention.
When hiring lives within the same system as scheduling, training, and compliance, it doesn't compete for a separate slot on someone's task list. The pipeline operates as part of operations — not alongside them.
The hiring functions that most agencies handle through job boards, spreadsheets, and separate tools — delivered within the same system as their operations.
Candidate pipeline from initial application through hire. Status tracking, screening notes, and interview scheduling — no separate ATS subscription.
License verification, certification tracking, and expiration monitoring. Credentials stay connected to scheduling eligibility — expired credentials prevent shift assignment.
Background checks initiated and tracked within the system. Results update the caregiver's onboarding status — no manual status checks between separate services.
Documentation collection, training assignment, compliance verification, and scheduling activation. The caregiver's record builds from application through first shift in one system.
During your demo, ask about your specific hiring workflow — we'll show you how applications, credentials, background checks, and onboarding are handled within the system for your state and agency requirements.
On traditional platforms, hiring lives in a completely separate system — disconnected from scheduling, training, and compliance. On CareBravo, the caregiver's record starts at application and carries through to every shift.
When a caregiver completes onboarding — credentials verified, background check cleared, training finished — they become available for scheduling. Skills, certifications, availability, and location are already in the system from intake.
Scheduling detail →State-required and agency-required training is assigned during the hiring process. Caregivers with incomplete required training don't become eligible for scheduling. Hiring and training compliance stay connected.
Training detail →When the caregiver receives their first shift, their profile is already configured for EVV — identification, location capability, and authorization are established during onboarding, not set up separately in a compliance system.
EVV compliance detail →Pay rate, direct deposit information, tax classification, and overtime eligibility are established during onboarding. When the caregiver completes their first shift, payroll data is already configured — no separate payroll setup step.
Payroll detail →On a traditional platform, a new caregiver's information is entered into the recruiting tool, then re-entered into the scheduling system, then set up in the training platform, then configured in payroll. On CareBravo, the caregiver's record starts at application and carries through every function — one entry, one system, from first application to every shift.
Yes. CareBravo delivers the caregiver hiring pipeline within the same system that handles scheduling, EVV, and billing. Applications, credential verification, background checks, and onboarding are managed from intake to first shift — no separate ATS or recruiting tools needed.
Yes. Application tracking, candidate pipeline management, credential verification, and onboarding workflows all run within CareBravo. Agencies don't need a separate ATS, job board management tool, or onboarding platform — the hiring pipeline connects directly to scheduling and training within the same system.
Background check requests are initiated within CareBravo and results tracked in the same system. The caregiver's onboarding status updates automatically based on check completion — no separate tracking spreadsheet or manual status updates between systems.
Once a caregiver completes onboarding — credentials verified, background check cleared, required training completed — they become schedulable within the same system. No re-entry of caregiver information from a recruiting tool into a separate scheduling platform. Hired in one system, scheduled in the same system.
Yes. Licenses, certifications, and credentials are tracked with expiration monitoring. When a credential approaches expiration, it's flagged — and caregivers with expired credentials are prevented from being scheduled for shifts that require them. Credential status stays connected to scheduling eligibility.
When a caregiver completes the hiring pipeline — application processed, credentials verified, background check cleared, required training completed — they become available for scheduling. Skills, certifications, availability, and location are already in the system from onboarding. No re-entry. No data transfer between platforms.
We'll walk through how applications, credentials, background checks, and onboarding work within the same system as your scheduling and operations — for your state requirements and your agency's workflow.
