It costs me a lot to hire a person. Once they've interviewed positively, their professional and personal references are checked, and I run a criminal background check........I pay for the state-required registration, the DOJ/FBI clearance, the tuberculosis screening, and several hours of training.
The demand for caregivers is higher than the supply. I never overlook bad reference feedback or criminal records. And, I can't bypass state regulations.
But I don't go prying further and concern myself with social media activity or credit reports. Even if there were tons of great candidates coming my way (dream world), I wouldn't consider it my business what employees do off the clock and away from my clients.
