Checklist for Screening a Caregiver


Job Application 

 

The collection of job applications is the best way to review possible applicants while having the

convenience of being able to reduce the list of candidates.

 

Resumes 

 

Resumes also allow the convenience of being able to narrow down the number of applicants that

need to be interviewed.  They provide important information such as contact information,

experiences, achievements, etc.

 

Interview Process 

 

An interview process should be well-prepared so that characteristics, values, behavior, and any

other questions can effectively reveal the candidate's ability to meet the job description of a

caregiver.

 

Reference Check 

 

An applicant may include certain job experiences on their application or resume.  However, it may

be wise to make certain that these experiences are accurate.   Reference checks are done by

calling the applicant's previous employer(s) or references to determine further information about

them and to see what type of information regarding the applicant's background that another

individual may be able to provide.

 

Background Check 

 

Criminal background checks are essential due to the direct contact the applicant will have with

the client(s).  A disclosure form is necessary to have signed by the applicant allowing their

employer to perform a background check on them.  This covers the rights of the applicant as well

as the employer.
