Why Care Friends?
Finding the right quality of care staff is a major challenge.
Employee referral programmes are the best source, but they are a hassle to administer and fiendishly hard to keep top-of-mind with staff.
As a result, they only deliver a fraction of their true potential.
Care Friends is a brand new app from Neil Eastwood, Author of Saving Social Care, that changes all that.
Why Care Friends Works
Employee Referrals are the #1 source of quality staff in social care
Referrals stay at least 25% longer than staff from other sources
Interview no-show rates for referrals = 19% vs 50% for internet job board candidates
Staff who refer a friend for the first time are 16% less likely to quit themselves
Withdrawing after a job offer drops by 63% with referred new starters
Each employee has an average of 150 friends or followers on social media - a huge potential candidate pool
