How we recruit and match?
Our recruitment process has been set up to ensure that the right person is hired for the right job and that vacancies in employers home are filled in a timely manner. We provide 12 months placement guarantee for each placement!!!
Advertising:
We are continuously advertising live in nanny and caregiver positions through distribution of leaflets, advertising in the local media, through the website etc. However the majority of our candidates are referrals from our successfully placed applicants in the past.
Constant advertising allows us to keep a wide database of applicants available which provides Families a good selection of candidates to select from.
Acceptance procedure/Assessment of the application:
Every applicant willing to apply must first attend a 2 hr orientation session which is free of charge and describes in detail the requirements of the Canadian Live in caregiver program, work conditions, benefits and wages depending on the provinces, job descriptions of the live in nanny or caregiver, steps of the process, timing, rights and obligations, job hunting techniques etc. After orientation interested applicants are given an Application form and the list of required documents.
Once the applicant is ready to submit their application they call our office for an appointment.
Our recruitment coordinator will meet the applicant in person, review their application and documents to identify if the applicant meets the minimum requirements of the Live in caregiver program as well as our standards.
If applicant appears to qualify the Recruitment coordinator will perform checks to identify the history of the applicant starting after completion of the High School against provided documents. Once completed, the Applicant will be requested to come again to our office to confirm and authorize the data for distribution.
As a part of the assessment every applicant meets the Placement Coordinator who is responsible for assisting Families when recruiting a caregiver.
Some of the applicants will hire a Canadian Licensed immigration Consultancy to assess their qualification and assist with the work permit.
Our selection process is based on merit and qualifications to do the job and not on gender, race or any other discriminatory basis. The goal is to find the right people. Only those candidates who meet the required standard at each stage will be accepted to proceed.
Matching:
Unlike other agencies we do not publish resumes of the available candidates on our website.
We know how busy you are and do not want you to surf hundreds of profiles. You will get lost trying to identify who is good for the position and who qualifies. Let us do it for you. We speak to each Family and identify their needs. After this our Placement coordinator will short list applicants in accordance with your requirements and send you only those who in our professional opinion are a right match for you.
We will only send you Resumes of the applicants that qualify for your vacancy under the requirements of the Live in Caregiver program.
You will have the option to review the Resumes, photo galleries and supporting documents of the Applicants to choose candidates for the phone or Skype interview.
We will provide you with Interview tips and Questions to help the selection process and help you to identify the right applicant. We will continue the search and arrange interviews until you are confident to make an employment offer and there is no commitment required from you unless we find a suitable candidate.
Note: All the services are FREE FOR THE CAREGIVER. Some of the Applicants may choose to hire immigration consultants to assist them with the work permit application however this service is optional and is not provided by FreeFromCare Ltd.
