One of the most high-stakes hiring decisions comes from people who may have absolutely no background in HR: Parents. Nannies and long-term caregivers are in high demand, but it’s important to find someone you can trust. Here are 4 tips for both hiring the perfect caregiver and keeping your family safe. ✔️Create Clear Expectations: Whether you’re relying on word of mouth, posting online or using a placement service, it’s important to create a well-defined job description that will serve as a guideline in finding, interviewing and ultimately making the tough hiring decisions. ✔️Conduct Employee Background Checks: A background check provides the proof that your candidate is as good as they seem and will reveal any discrepancies below the surface. Just make sure to get consent. ✔️Trust Your Gut: A nanny can be perfectly qualified, have no criminal record, but may not be a good fit for your family for various reasons. Trusting your gut matters just as much as due diligence. ✔️Make the nanny an employee: If you pay a domestic employee more than $2600 a year, per IRS rules, you have to treat them like an employee and not a contractor. Make sure you understand what state unemployment tax you may owe, whether you’re required to offer workers’ compensation insurance and any other tax and labor laws specific to your state or city. ✔️Other Screening Considerations: If you are planning to use a nanny agency, you can and should ask any agencies that you consider working with to provide details about their employee vetting policies. Remember, the stakes for hiring a nanny are too high to be left to chance. #backgroundchecks #childcare #workingparent #nanny

#Jobseekers, I want to share crucial insights about Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that can significantly impact your career trajectory. As someone who has been at the forefront of helping professionals secure new opportunities, you’ll appreciate the importance of mastering this concept. In fact, I have been writing about ATS since almost a decade. - Beyond Text Crafting a Strategic Tool Your resume is more than a mere document; it’s a strategic tool. It represents your professional brand, expertise, and potential. Crafting a resume that resonates with both humans and machines is an art—one that can open doors to endless possibilities. - Decoding the ATS Maze ATS rules can be intricate. The journey from submission to shortlisting involves several checkpoints. Our team has meticulously studied ATS behaviour, conducted A/B tests, and fine-tuned layouts and techniques. The result? Resumes that align seamlessly with various ATS software. - Real Results Await Still skeptical? Consider the outcomes our clients have achieved: Increased number of job offers Higher conversion rates from application to interview Enhanced visibility in competitive job markets See video below.

Why are gaps in employment so often brought up? Firstly, there is nothing bad with having a gap/s in your resume. There are all kinds of reasons: ▪️Having a maternity/paternity leave ▪️Travel break ▪️A bereavement ▪️Being made redundant ▪️Relocating The list goes on... Open and honest communication about employment gaps can help both employers and individuals gain a better understanding of each other's expectations and make informed decisions. #resume #recruitment #honesty #employemnt

Have you ever committed any one of these not to do sins when hiring your domestic worker? How did it go in the long run? 1. Hiring without any background and reference checks - This oversight can lead to hiring individuals with a history of misconduct or unsuitable work habits. Taking the time to verify a candidate's background and check references can provide valuable insights into their reliability, trustworthiness, and work ethic. 2. Ignoring Legal Obligations - Do you request the candidate you are hiring for domestic work for their ID? We have heard many cases of employers being taken to court for employing minors. Make sure you always ask for necessary identification to protect yourself. 3. Lack of Transparency - Do you simply assume that the candidate knows what they are supposed to do. Provide clear and honest information about the job expectations, terms of employment, and any relevant policies or procedures. Failure to do so can lead to misunderstandings and disputes down the line. By avoiding common pitfalls such as the above you can create a positive and mutually beneficial working relationship with your domestic workers. Even better, let us sift through all the candidates on our platform and find the best fit for your office or household. Simply give us a call on 0709 672 300.
