Recruitment costs in the long-term care (LTC) industry are astronomical. Between job board fees, background checks, drug screenings, administrative onboarding, and the constant stress of understaffing, the true cost of hiring a single CNA or Nurse can quickly escalate.
What if you could eliminate those recruitment costs entirely by ensuring a perfect cultural and clinical fit before the permanent offer is made?
Coastal Care Staffing is thrilled to announce our new program designed to transform your hiring process: Love at First Sight Staffing, valid through January 2026.
Traditional hiring forces you to make a permanent, costly commitment based on a resume and an hour-long interview. When that new hire turns out to be a poor fit—either clashing with your team's culture or lacking the specific skills for your resident population—you lose:
Money: Wasted recruitment fees, training costs, and severance.
Time: Weeks spent onboarding only to restart the process.
Morale: Overburdened existing staff who cover the vacancy.
The Solution: Try Before You Commit—Zero Cost to Hire
Coastal Care Staffing's "Love at First Sight" offer allows you to thoroughly vet a candidate's clinical skills, reliability, and cultural fit on your floor, under real-world conditions, before committing to a direct hire.
Utilize Our Associate: You engage a Coastal Care Associate (CMT, CNA, Nursing Assistant, LPN, LVN, or RN) to cover a vacant shift or position, just as you would with any supplemental staff.
Evaluate the Fit: The Associate works with your team for a minimum of 30 calendar days. During this time, you evaluate their performance, observe their interactions with residents and staff, and confirm they are a perfect match.
Direct Hire at Zero Cost: If both parties—your facility and the Coastal Care Associate—agree it is "Love at First Sight," you can hire them directly onto your payroll immediately after the 30-day period.
That's right: You pay absolutely zero conversion or placement fees for that direct hire.
Partnering with Coastal Care Staffing for this program shifts your recruitment spending from high-risk upfront costs to a calculated, successful investment:
Eliminate Failure Costs: You completely bypass the cost of failed hires. You only pay the standard shift rate for the time they work, and you only commit to hiring a candidate you know is successful.
Built-in Vetting: Coastal Care handles all initial vetting, including background checks, initial credential verification, and drug screening, saving your HR team precious time.
Culture Certainty: The 30-day trial period ensures the candidate fits your unique facility culture—the single biggest predictor of long-term employee retention.
Immediate Staffing Relief: You get immediate staffing coverage while simultaneously performing a long-term recruitment function. No more waiting weeks for applications; your next hire is already on the floor.
Stop wasting money on blind hiring. Let your next top caregiver demonstrate their value on the job. Invest in the relationship first, and hire the talent you fall in love with, completely fee-free.
This special offer is valid through January 2026.
