Ms Sandra Cinar

Mercy Health, Richmond

 

Mercy Health is committed to ensuring the recruitment and selection of a highly skilled workforce through a fair, equitable and transparent process.
In Aged Care we are hands on carers, our workforce is integral to the quality of care we deliver. Following a number of bulk recruitment campaigns, it was observed Mercy Health’s Aged Care division was experiencing a period of high turnover. The inevitable untenable cost of this prompted HR to review the recruitment and selection process.
A need to gain greater insight into candidates beyond their resume prior to inviting them to an assessment centre was identified. In addition, hiring managers were completing time-consuming reference checks prior to the appointment of candidates.
HR began researching innovative opportunities to overcome these concerns and subsequently Sonru, a provider of online screening technology, and Xref, a provider of online reference checking technology were engaged.
As a not-for-profit organisation it is essential that Mercy Health optimally utilise its key resource: its people. Sonru and Xref have markedly improved the organisation’s ability to identify high quality candidates as well as significantly streamlining the recruitment process, allowing our people more time to devote elsewhere in the business whilst still maintaining outstanding appointment results.
