Who it's for

Worth doing if...

If any of these sound familiar, the assessment will show you why.

The same role keeps going back out to advert.

Your last manager hire didn't last.

You're getting few applicants, or the wrong ones.

You've got a senior hire coming up and need to get it right first time.

You want to fix your hiring before the next vacancy, not during it.

What we look at

Five areas. 64 checks.

Your hiring process

How you find, assess and decide on managers, and where things stall or slip through.

Salary and package

How your pay, allowances and benefits compare with live local adverts for the same role.

Job adverts

Whether your advert makes the best managers stop scrolling and apply.

Reputation

What a manager finds when they look you up: reviews from staff and families, and press coverage.

CQC record

How your rating and inspection history look to someone deciding whether to join you.

Not losing applicants because it's a bad place to work. Losing them because the good parts aren't visible, and the process leaks people along the way.

Every report comes with prioritised fixes you can act on straight away.

After the report

What happens next is up to you.

Many providers fix things themselves using the report. If you'd rather have help, we can work alongside your team to put the fixes in place, or run the search for you.
