Transforming Recruitment: Autograph Care and Cohesion’s Partnership for Better Hiring Outcomes
The Client
Autograph Care stands at the forefront of delivering exceptional residential and dementia care across the North West, Yorkshire and East Midlands.
The Challenge & Solution

Through a structured and values-driven approach, Cohesion successfully transformed Autograph Care’s recruitment process. By improving candidate quality, streamlining onboarding, and reducing agency dependence, Autograph Care now benefits from a more efficient, engaged, and long-term workforce.
