Always Best Care of Baton Rouge provides in-home care services to seniors across Louisiana. Under the leadership of owner Shonda Boudet and HR Director Jill Edmonson, the agency has experienced steady growth driven by increasing client demand. But in home care, growth depends on one thing: having enough caregivers. As demand increased, the team needed a way to hire more caregivers consistently — without overwhelming their recruiting team or sacrificing quality.

the challenge

Not Enough Caregivers to Meet Demand

Like many agencies, Always Best Care Baton Rouge struggled to hire more caregivers as the business grew. The hiring process was manual and time-consuming. Recruiters spent hours reviewing resumes, making phone calls, and coordinating interviews. Despite the effort, hiring volume remained low. Over a seven-month period, the agency made just 43 hires — about 6 per month. At that pace:
  • The team couldn’t hire enough caregivers to meet demand
  • Open shifts remained unfilled
  • Growth was limited by staffing capacity
Client demand was there — but without enough caregivers, the agency couldn’t fully capture it.

the solution

A System Built to Hire More Caregivers

To solve this, Always Best Care Baton Rouge implemented Hellohire. With Hellohire, applicants are instantly engaged, pre-screened, and guided through the hiring process — allowing the team to hire more caregivers at a much higher volume. The platform helped the team:
  • Increase the number of qualified applicants entering the funnel
  • Move more candidates through screening and interviews
  • Stay consistently engaged with applicants throughout the process
By removing friction and increasing throughput, the agency was able to scale caregiver hiring without adding more recruiters. Instead of struggling to keep up, the team finally had a system designed to support higher hiring volume.
