Care Character - trial on two hires

Care Character Trial

Throughout May Cohesion – the PhD sponsors behind Care Character – will be offering care providers the opportunity to trial Care Character for their next two hires.

In order to ensure that all organisations can get the most out of their trial, regular hiring manager support sessions are being held with Dave Beesley, Social Care Talent Director at Cohesion.

Dave will talk hiring managers through the process of using Care Character in their recruitment, and how to utilise the reports in candidate interviews to explore their potential within the seven qualities of care.

Care Character provides a set of values based interview questions that a hiring manager can use to probe applicants further during an interview.

Values based recruitment is important, particularly for the care sector where demand for carers outstrips supply by a worrying margin. Hiring individuals based on their values and behaviours widens candidate pools and supports retention too.

Feedback from hiring managers who have used the tool previously has been very positive:

“I have used Care Character to enable me to focus my questions at interview on the areas identified as needing further exploration. When recruiting to values it can be difficult to gain a snapshot of a person so the pre-work that is undertaken by the completion of Care Character has enabled me to get the most from an interview.”
