Home Instead, Oxford

Challenged by a limited candidate pool from traditional job boards, our goal was to diversify and expand our client's reach. Through a targeted social media campaign, employing localised photography and compelling copywriting, we focused on attracting ex-nurses and empty nesters aged 35-55. This innovative approach resulted in an impressive 80% increase in care professional applicants and a 77% boost in hires within just three months, simultaneously reducing application costs by 40%.
