Solve Your Care Staffing Challenge With Properly Assessed Professionals
Innergy Healthcare provides UK and Ireland healthcare employers with access to psychometrically assessed, professionally prepared, and ethically sourced care talent from Nigeria.
The Workforce Reality
The UK adult social care sector faces persistent staffing shortages, with hundreds of thousands of vacancies across care homes, nursing homes, and domiciliary care services. Ireland faces similar pressures, with growing demand for care assistants and healthcare support workers.
Traditional recruitment approaches often result in:
- High candidate dropout rates
- Poor cultural and behavioural fit
- Safeguarding concerns
- Costly turnover within the first 12 months
- Administrative burden of international recruitment compliance
Innergy Healthcare addresses these challenges at the source — by assessing candidates before they are introduced to employers, not after.
