All you want to do is find the right carer. It should not be this hard.

You already know what a great candidate looks like. Within minutes of meeting someone, you can often tell whether they have the warmth, patience and reliability the role needs. That part, you are brilliant at.

The hard part is everything that comes before it.

A single vacancy can bring in a flood of applications. You want to give people a proper response, but when hundreds come in at once, the reality is hours spent filtering, chasing and trying to keep up.

And for candidates, it is frustrating too. They apply, hear nothing, and move on.

So instead of spending your time speaking to the right people, recruitment becomes the same day on repeat. Filter. Chase. Follow up. Book someone in. Realise they cannot do weekends. Start again. Meanwhile, the people who could have been a great fit have already gone elsewhere.

That is why we created Sift.

Where AI fits, and where it does not

A lot of AI in recruitment has made the process faster, but not better. Robot calls. Generic chatbots. Automated emails no one reads. Tools that remove the human side of hiring instead of protecting it.

We think AI works best at the earliest stage, where speed and consistency matter most. Making sure every candidate hears back. Keeping conversations moving. Checking availability. Getting the right people booked in.

That is how we have built Sift. It handles the part between application and interview, so you can get to the personal conversation sooner.

And it is designed to feel personal. Conversational. Human. Candidates stay informed and engaged. You stay in the loop. Nothing happens without you knowing.

The goal is not to replace the personal side of recruitment. It is to get you back to it.

Designed for care

We have spent more than ten years working with recruiters in the care sector, helping them reach more than 300,000 applicants through job boards and social media. We know the pressure, the pace, and what good looks like.

Care has never had the luxury of easy recruitment. In a sector where teams are stretched and good people are in demand, helping recruiters spend less time chasing and more time connecting with the right candidates really matters.

There are plenty of AI tools trying to do a bit of everything for everyone. We are focused on care, because this is where we know the detail and where we believe this approach can make the biggest difference.

Recruitment should feel personal. We are here to help keep it that way.
