Signature: Recruitment that cares

Signature Senior Lifestyle offer award-winning, luxury residential, nursing, and dementia care across London and the home counties. Their staff are central to the high levels of care they provide and they have a variety of roles from nursing and care assistants, to chefs, administration, and housekeeping.

Signature need to fill roles fast, with high-quality candidates, to
ensure they can continue to provide the best care possible for their residents

The challenge

There is a shortage of high quality candidates in the care industry and attracting and retaining these is of key importance to Signature. A long application process and time to hire means more time before a candidate can start making a difference. The length of time taken to apply and then screen applicants was a big challenge.

All Signature care homes manage their recruitment individually, which meant differing experiences for candidates, particularly when it came to onboarding new starters.

It is easy to generate contracts, collect references and get new starter forms completed – all minimising the admin burden on recruiters.
