HR and Recruitment Manager

Apr 2018 - Aug 2019
I'm responsible for the whole HR and recruitment processes. Using my expert social media, telephone and face to face interaction skills, I'm able to attract the highest calibre of care workers in West Yorkshire. I deal with all telephone interviews, screening candidates on recruitment pages and job boards, face to face interviews and a lead the full induction to the company. I've managed to maintain an excellent retention rate of staff and grown the business to be a hugely attractive domiciliary care provider to work for. I also deal with all disciplinary procedures and any HR issues that need addressing. During my time in this role, as a company we went from an overall CQC rating of 'Good' to 'Outstanding', something I'm extremely proud of. Show less
