What changes for you

More control over who applies, who shows up, and who stays.

Every stage of your funnel gets tuned on purpose — not left to whatever Indeed's algorithm feels like giving you this week.

Increase quality applies + hires

Job ads and screening tuned to pull candidates who are actually a fit for caregiving and nursing roles — not just anyone with a resume.

Reduce ghosting, boost retention

Touchpoints between apply and day one are built to keep candidates engaged — and keep new hires around past week two.

Stabilize schedules + staffing

A steady, predictable pipeline of candidates means fewer scrambles to cover shifts — and fewer 2 a.m. calls.

The methodology

The Unified Hiring System

UHS engineers and optimizes every candidate touchpoint — from job ad to interview to hire to retention — for one affordable monthly rate. The result: more applicants, better show-up rates, more hires, longer retention, and lower cost, all at once.

Job Ad

Written and placed to attract the right candidate, not the most candidates.

Application

Friction removed so qualified applicants finish applying — and low-fit ones self-select out.

Interview

Structured questions that predict who'll actually show up and stay.

Hire

A faster, clearer path from "interested" to "on the schedule."

Retention

Onboarding touchpoints built to keep new hires past the danger zone.

Beyond the lab

Leigh & Candra

Leigh and his wife, Candra, are ardent supporters of multiple animal rescue organizations. Together they oversee the Prada Pitbull Program, their own low-cost spay/neuter initiative — which has helped low-income families spay and neuter thousands of pit bulls and pit mixes since it began, preventing tens of thousands of unwanted litters along the way.

Field notes

What clients say

A small sample of the notes we get from agencies and facilities after the applicants start coming in.

In just a few short weeks, we went from chickens with our heads cut off to full blown beautiful peacocks.
Mark — Visiting Angels
Before, we were only hiring around one caregiver every three weeks. Now we've made twelve hires in the last two weeks, and the quality is much higher too.
Administrator
My Indeed budget is significantly smaller, and we had to tap leadership just to help screen all the applicants. More with less. Super grateful.
Audra
We've seen an incredible increase in applicants since the team started posting job ads directly on Indeed. I don't fully understand the inner workings, but the results are there.
Jeff — BrightStar Care
We are making it because of you. Thank you so much for making our lives so much easier.
Melissa — Admin
Ok, uncle — we are getting way too many applications to sort for this job. Can we pause it so we can catch up?
Steven Smith
We took three pages of notes and already started rewriting our job postings. Your industry knowledge is outstanding.
Adam — Family Ties Home Care
After one meeting with Leigh, my anxiety about caregiver recruitment dramatically decreased. His solutions deviate from the industry norm — and they make sense.
Amma — Visiting Angels
We finally found the right fit for our Recruiter position. Fun fact: she was the first to apply to the newest job ad you posted.
