An IT company specializing in cloud based recruitment solutions for the care industry is keen to draw attention to the fact that cash injections from the government will not help to alleviate the wider pressures that the sector continues to face.
Novacare | recruit helps businesses to streamline their recruitment process and track participants in real time with a number of intuitive solutions.
The company feels that the recent cash injection, which was announced by Sajid Javid, the communities secretary, in a written ministerial statement outlining the local government finance settlement for 2018-19, will not combat the inordinate strain both care providers and hospitals are facing on a daily basis.
Stephen Wilson, Director of novacare | recruit said: “While this cash injection will help on a temporary, short-term basis, it’s important to recognize that this is not a permanent solution that will mend the significant annual social care funding gap of £2.3bn by 2020.
“The recent bad weather has put added pressure on care companies who have had to carry out extra visits, making sure people are safe in their homes as the temperature has dropped significantly.
“Luckily, our online tool can help care businesses ensure that one area of their company is running efficiently with our without a government cash injection, and that is with HR. Recruiting high-quality members of staff is of the utmost importance for both care homes and hospitals, particularly given the fact that those working there are likely to be faced with long hours and a stressful working environment.
“Beneficial to both jobseekers and employers, it can help to lower recruitment costs for companies and also allows care professionals to create personal profiles on the site where they can track interviews and keep up to date with application progression.”
While local councils will be relying on this grant to sustain their services, more needs to be done, particularly given the fact that many have warned that they are facing a worrying financial crisis brought on by a combination of a reduction in support from central government and an increase in their statutory obligations, the most significant one being to provide social care to an increasingly aging population.
Companies that choose to use novacare | recruit will benefit from being able to track candidates throughout the entire recruitment process and will also be alerted of any roadblocks that could delay potential recruitments.
