Recruitment Services & Staff Sourcing for Care Agencies

Recruitment & Staff Sourcing Support for Home Care Agencies

Hiring in care is not just about finding candidates — it is also about managing the recruitment process consistently, quickly, and professionally.

At Personalised Virtual Employee (PVE), we support UK care agencies with two flexible recruitment solutions. We can either work like your dedicated recruitment team member, managing the recruitment process in line with your policies and training, or we can focus specifically on sourcing candidates through our database, job portals, and social media channels.

This gives your agency the flexibility to choose the support model that suits your current recruitment challenges best.

Two Recruitment Support Models for Care Agencies

Every care agency has different recruitment needs. Some need help managing the full recruitment process, while others mainly need support finding suitable candidates.

PVE offers two clear service models so you can choose the level of support that fits your agency.

Recruitment Services

A dedicated recruitment support service that works like part of your in-house team.

In this model, a PVE recruitment consultant supports your agency as if they were your own employee. They work in line with your recruitment policies, processes, standards, and training, helping you run recruitment in a structured and consistent way.

This service is ideal for agencies that want reliable day-to-day recruitment support without hiring another full-time in-house team member.

What This Service  Include

  • Managing live vacancies
  • Reviewing applications
  • Candidate screening
  • Shortlisting based on your criteria
  • Coordinating interviews
  • Following your recruitment workflow
  • Updating candidate records
  • Communicating with applicants
  • Supporting onboarding administration
  • Working to your internal processes and service expectations

PVE combines UK client management with a dedicated operational team, allowing care agencies to receive reliable administrative support while maintaining clear communication and quality oversight.

Best For

Agencies with regular recruitment activity
Managers who need ongoing recruitment help
Providers that want a more consistent recruitment process
Care businesses that want recruitment managed in line with their internal processes

Staff Sourcing

Helping you find suitable candidates through multiple sourcing channels.

Sometimes the main challenge is not managing the process — it is finding enough suitable candidates in the first place.

PVE’s Staff Sourcing service focuses on generating candidate flow for your agency using multiple recruitment channels.

We source candidates through:

  • PVE candidate database
  • Job portals
  • Social media recruitment marketing
  • Direct applicant follow-up
  • Vacancy promotion support

What this service can include

  • Candidate searching
  • Vacancy promotion
  • CV collection
  • Initial filtering / pre-screening
  • Building candidate pipelines
  • Sourcing activity for urgent vacancies

This service is designed to help care agencies increase candidate reach and improve vacancy response.

Best for

Agencies struggling to attract enough applicants

Urgent care staffing needs

Providers opening in new areas

Businesses that need a stronger candidate pipeline

Recruitment Services

Best when you need someone to manage recruitment activity for you.

  • Works to your policies and process
  • Acts like part of your internal team
  • Supports end-to-end recruitment admin
  • Ideal for ongoing operational support

Staff Sourcing

Best when you need more candidates coming into your pipeline.

  • Focused on finding suitable applicants
  • Uses database, portals and social media
  • Helps build candidate flow
  • Ideal for vacancy generation and urgent hiring

Many agencies use a combination of both services depending on their vacancy levels and internal capacity.

Why This Works for Care Agencies

Flexible Recruitment Support Built Around Your Agency

Care agencies do not always need the same type of recruitment help.

Sometimes you need a person who can manage recruitment activity in line with your internal process. At other times, you need stronger sourcing support to bring more candidates into the funnel.

By offering both Recruitment Services and Staff Sourcing, PVE gives your agency flexibility without forcing you into a one-size-fits-all model.
