Case Study: Homestyle Aged Care speeds up hiring and fills roles faster with Xref

Homestyle Aged Care cuts reference checks from a week to one day with Xref

Homestyle Aged Care, an aged care provider, was facing a severe talent shortage exacerbated by industry challenges and the COVID pandemic, making it difficult to hire qualified staff quickly. They partnered with the vendor Xref to streamline their reference checking process, which was a major pain point and bottleneck in their recruitment.

Xref's automated reference checking solution significantly sped up Homestyle's hiring process. The average time to complete references dropped to just 24 hours, and 58% of references were returned outside of business hours. This allowed Homestyle to make job offers faster, preventing candidates from accepting roles elsewhere. Additionally, Xref's People Search function created a growing talent pool, helping them source passive candidates and ultimately hire over 200 more people in a year compared to the previous year.
