FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

South Jordan, Utah – October 30, 2024 

ApplicantStack and Augusta released a sophisticated integration which enhances efficiency, data integrity and growth at home care agencies.  The integration streamlines recruiting efforts for home care providers, an industry known for its high-volume hiring needs. 

Swipeclock is pleased to announce an enhanced integration between ApplicantStack, its applicant-tracking system and Augusta, the #1 caregiver recruitment platform in the home care industry. This top-of-funnel tool is designed for home care agencies, using advanced algorithms to identify, rank, and match top candidates while personalizing the interview process to each candidate. In recent months, a significant advancement was made to the integration, making it much more powerful.

When hiring managers and others involved in the hiring process update the status of an applicant in the Augusta platform, the data automatically syncs with corresponding status in the ApplicantStack platform for consistency. The need to manually update statuses multiple times is eliminated.

In the home care industry, companies may be filling hundreds of positions at once. It’s difficult to remember (or find the time) to change the status on both platforms. With automatic syncing, the need to do so is eliminated. Statuses remain consistent, ensuring that everyone involved in the hiring process has a view of the next steps. 

For home care organizations relying on Augusta and ApplicantStack, the integration is invaluable. Team members can enjoy significant time savings and a seamless experience. Additionally, organizations often get more billable hours when they hire well-qualified candidates who can fill scheduling voids immediately after coming onboard.

Since the Augusta platform is designed to connect hiring managers with the right candidates, the integration also helps reduce the time-to-hire by filtering out candidates who don’t meet qualifications. These roles tend to get a high number of applicants, but many lack what’s needed for long-term success. Living too far away from the clients who require care and lacking specific skills or certifications are two examples of what make home care recruiting particularly challenging.

“The integration between Augusta and ApplicantStack has transformed the way we hire at Home Instead,” said Brenda Munro, Recruitment & Engagement Coordinator, Home Instead Boulder, Broomfield and NW Adams Counties, Colorado. “I no longer have to spend a lot of time on both platforms, updating statuses and monitoring applicants. I can spend that time on tasks that benefit the company and our clients while increasing billable hours by getting the right candidates onboarded and ready to start providing vital care.”

Through its unique vetting system,companies using the platform are 2,200% more likely to hire someone qualified vs. disqualified. The ApplicantStack platform supports sharing open roles, managing candidates, and onboarding with ease. The two pair perfectly, creating a streamlined hiring process that can both save time and grow billable hours for home care agencies across the nation.
