Autograph - Outsourced Recruitment
Overview
Autograph Care Group stands at the forefront of delivering exceptional residential and dementia care across Yorkshire and the East Midlands.
Our recruitment solution initially went live in two of Autograph’s four homes, aiming to address their challenges with high agency costs, increasing rates of no-shows, and low candidate quality.
With face-to-face interviews taking place in both homes within the first two weeks of go live, we were asked to expand our efforts to a third Autograph home. Impressively, we filled the position within just four days.
By the end of the second week, we had secured 9 job offers across the two initial homes, filling 60% of original vacancies.
Entering the third week, we were asked to include Autograph’s fourth and last home, also arranging face-to-face interviews there by the subsequent week.
As we move into our fifth week of the partnership with Autograph, we’ve reported a 95% interview attendance rate, an 86% offer suitability rate, and 100% offer acceptance rate. This has resulted in 15 secured offers, with half of these candidate’s onboarding checks already being finalised, enabling them to soon start their new roles.
Our recruitment efforts have resulted in historically low vacancy numbers, unprecedented attendance rates, and impressive offer conversions.

Cohesion are an extension of us and really live our values. They never fail to deliver on promise and work hard to deliver a high quality candidate experience and service to us. We have complete faith that with Cohesion’s unique expertise they will continue to help build a strong talent pipeline for our Nursing Service.
Today, we have a healthy recruitment pipeline in most locations, our vacant hours are drastically reduced which has a huge impact on agency costs and quality of care. The average time to offer has reduced considerably and more encouraging is the quality of our new colleagues who are recruited for their ‘values’
I would definitely recommend Cohesion as a recruitment partner. Working with them has taken the pain out of the recruitment process.
Cohesion’s results were very impressive. The effort that Cohesion make to keep candidates engaged and move them efficiently through the recruitment process was key to helping us achieve a high attendance rate at interview and very low drop out post interview. I have been impressed with how responsive they have been to any issues raised and their ability to deliver candidates in a difficult recruitment market
