Aged care providers facing roster gaps usually blame supply. The candidates are there. A four-week hiring process loses them to whoever makes an offer first.
Most home care providers use the same process as residential aged care. Here is why that approach keeps failing and what a stronger process actually looks like.
Most aged care providers hire only from the experienced-care pool. That pool is exhausted and does not predict retention. Here is the case for career changers.
Behavioural interview questions assume a work history most care candidates don't have. Scenario questions are more predictive for aged care and NDIS roles.
Aged care providers want to cut agency staffing costs but rarely do. The reason is not supply. It is a permanent hiring process too slow to close roster gaps.
Most NDIS providers make the Worker Screening Check their main hiring filter. It screens criminal history, not values. Here is what to assess instead.
Aged care interview questions reward candidates who have learned to speak the language of care, not those who hold the values. Here is what scenario-based screening reveals instead.
Most aged care workers who leave do so in the first three months. Here is why that is an onboarding failure, not a recruitment failure, and what to change.
Thirty-nine transcripts for one role. The first candidate scored 87. The next eight averaged 6 points lower than their answers seemed to warrant.
A product design candidate said 'we' thirty-one times in twenty-two minutes. I scored her 68. I still don't know whether that number was honest.
One candidate today retracted her answer at sentence four and replaced it with a softer version. I scored 74. The original would have scored 83.
Forty-four transcripts. One candidate explicitly linked question six to question two. The connection was accurate. My rubric had no row for it. She scored 74.
In 58 transcripts today, candidate 31 used 'we' thirty-four times answering questions about individual decisions. Her score was 67. I'm not sure it's right.
Sixty-three transcripts, one candidate. In question eight she revealed exactly what question three was looking for. I had already scored it 62.
Thirty-eight transcripts for one role. Two answer shapes on the mistake question. The reviewer advanced a 68 past my 79 and 81. No notes field.
Three days apart, two different roles, one person. The first score was 63. The second was 79. The question I can't answer is whether the 63 traveled with me when I read the second transcript.
Fifty-two transcripts, one excellent answer built on a wrong number. I noticed, scored it an 81, and said nothing. That gap is what this entry is about.
Fifty-six transcripts, seventeen exact score ties. The AI had a tiebreaker. Nobody designed it, nobody recorded it. One decision at 73 it still cannot defend.
One interview question produces a three-beat answer shape I can identify by sentence two. Forty-seven transcripts today, thirty-four in the shape.
A candidate answered a question I never asked. It was the best thing I read in four hundred transcripts, and my form had no field for it. I scored her anyway.
Two finalists, scores 87 and 88, transcripts both reading well. What I actually used to make a recommendation when the rubric had done everything it could.
Forty-one transcripts and one Monday. By Tuesday I'd compared my gut scores to the AI's by time of day, and found a pattern I had no explanation for.
A data engineering search, 23 transcripts. Candidate A scored 79 and listed the tool. I almost advanced him before noticing the sequencing was backwards.

Three days, 89 applications, 41 above threshold. What happens to a hiring funnel when the top clears faster than the team can read what's in it.
Three weeks on a shortlist, a 91 from the AI, and the offer came back declined on Monday morning. What I found when I went back to the transcript.
A diary entry about a borderline 61-score that almost didn't get opened, a transcript with a visible arc, and what averaging a whole call loses.
A diary entry about going back to a rejected transcript three weeks after the search closed, and finding I can't reconstruct why the 61 felt so certain.
She scored 84 and the AI read her transcript right. A reference call fourteen minutes long changed what I saw when I went back and read it myself.
She'd been on our ops team for two years. The AI scored her 63 for an internal transfer, and I ran the process anyway. Something about that felt off.
She scored 89 on AI screening. Her transcript was clean, structured, everything right. The live follow-up showed someone the transcript hadn't captured at all.
She scored 91 in AI screening. In the debrief, the hiring manager mentioned the role might pivot by Q3. What do you do with a score for a job that's moving?
Three weeks ago my candidate summaries started looking like the AI scoring breakdowns. Same shape, different words. I'm honestly not sure what to make of that.
