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.

Who are we? Exploring the diversity within the social care workforce
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
