Many facilities rush to fill staffing gaps, which often leads to costly mis-hires. Common mistakes include unclear job descriptions, poor vetting, and skipping cultural fit assessments. When hiring, ensure compliance checks are up-to-date—Garda vetting, reference verification, and qualifications. Don’t overlook onboarding: even temp workers benefit from a quick orientation. Avoid treating recruitment as purely transactional. Engage candidates with a human-centered approach. Build talent pools in advance, maintain communication, and track hiring performance to prevent repeating mistakes.
