High-touch Engagement and Regulatory Body compliant
A recruitment process that is quick, engaging and efficient. An onboarding service which is exactly the same.
During the recruitment process, candidates are processed with speed, updated regularly, and given support and guidance – as well as feedback – every step of the way.
Once a hire is made, it is crucial to give new hires a high-touch and engaging onboarding process to avoid losing them unnecessarily.
Our onboarding process begins with a congratulatory welcome call to introduce the steps required to make the candidate compliant in line with CQC Regulation 19 or Ofsted.
Regular updates via calls, text messages, emails and technology means your candidates know exactly where they are at, and what to expect next.

Pre-employment compliance and onboarding
High drop out during the compliance process is a common challenge within social care recruitment. Some care providers report up to 50% drop out, and sometimes even more where they don’t have the resource or capacity to drive efficiency.
At Cohesion, we’ve worked hard to make the process highly engaging and supportive for candidates which allows a significantly higher conversion rate between offer and start. In fact, our processes have in many instances reduced drop out to less than 20%.
During the process, we collect references, collate the employment timeline, carry out criminal record DBS checks and support candidates with onboarding paperwork. We only collect the information when we need it – so there is no asking for references during the application process.
Our compliance process gives you confidence that the information needed is collated, checked and on file for when you need it.
