How HomeCare Plus Reduced Hiring Time from 45 to 18 Days
12-location agency saves $52K annually while filling positions 60% faster
HomeCare Plus
Dallas-Fort Worth, TX
The Challenge
Robert Patterson, owner of HomeCare Plus, was struggling to keep up with explosive growth. With 12 locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, his HR team was spending 20+ hours per week manually posting jobs to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor.
"We were drowning in applications but couldn't find qualified CNAs fast enough. By the time we contacted candidates, they'd already accepted offers elsewhere. Our time-to-hire was 45 days—unacceptable in this market."— Robert Patterson, Owner
- Manual job posting took 6+ hours per week
- Spreadsheet tracking led to missed follow-ups
- 45-day average time-to-hire
- Lost 30% of candidates to competitors
- Spending $4K/month on staffing agencies
The Solution
HomeCare Plus implemented HireFirst across all 12 locations in February 2024. The HR team completed setup in one afternoon using HireFirst's job templates and automated workflows.

The Results

"HireFirst paid for itself in the first month. We cut our staffing agency spend by 80% because we're hiring fast enough to handle growth internally. Plus, the quality of our hires improved because we're not rushing to fill positions."— Robert Patterson, Owner
