Every day, 10,000 people join the senior population, but the ranks of skilled senior living professionals aren’t keeping up.

The perfect storm (a.k.a. lack of qualified candidates, the demanding nature of the work and greener pastures in other industries) means ads and job fairs are no longer the golden ticket to top talent.

In fact, 90% of senior living leaders report staffing shortages, widening the gap between demand and available talent. It’s clear a more nuanced approach is needed.

Duffy Group senior living recruiters, armed with the Duffy Recruitment Research™ search method, excel at uncovering hidden talent and filling roles others can’t. Here’s how:

Custom Fit, Not Cookie-Cutter: Tailored Recruiting Strategies That Work

Every senior living facility has its quirks and charms, and your staffing needs are just as unique. During the strategy development portion of the five-step Duffy Recruitment Research™ search model, our senior living recruiters conduct a thorough assessment of your situation.

This isn’t about skimming the surface with a few keywords; it’s about understanding your organization’s culture, strategic issues and what excites candidates about your roles. The result is a tailor-made, scalable strategy that fits your specific needs like a glove.

The Needle in the Haystack: Specialized Knowledge to Bridge the Gaps

Generic recruitment won’t do. At Duffy Group, our practice leaders are seasoned experts who understand the unique challenges and nuances of the senior living industry, enabling them to pinpoint and attract candidates that are a perfect match for your toughest roles.

Contrast this with a generalist recruiter’s broad approach, which lacks the strategic foresight and customization your facility needs. You’d miss out on a recruitment partner adept at discovering standout candidates, ensuring your facility thrives with the right talent.

Hidden Gems: Uncovering Talent in Unexpected Places

Why wait for the right talent to come to you when you can go to them? Our senior living executive recruiters access passive talent — professionals who aren’t scouring job boards or contemplating a job change but are open to discussing potential career advancements.

We reach out beyond the active job market, leveraging our strategic sourcing techniques to unearth skilled hidden candidates waiting for the right opportunity.

Once we discover that standout candidate, we shift from detectives to salespeople, actively promoting your “sizzle” — the unique factor that sets your organization apart.

Culture Crafters: Matching More Than Skills

Vetting a candidate for a job goes beyond checking off qualifications on a list. The in-depth understanding of the role and your culture we gain through our approach ensures recruiters assess more than skills — they delve into how a candidate will integrate with and contribute to your facility’s culture.

This cultural fit, or alignment with your organization’s values and environment, is crucial for long-term success and employee satisfaction.
