FAQs for Employers

Vitalis works to find you the best-fit candidates as quickly as possible, often within a few days, depending on the specific requirements of the position.

Absolutely. We have networks of public sector professionals with experience in specialised fields such as mental health, child welfare, housing policy, SEND, and other areas.

Vitalis uses a multi-faceted approach to sourcing candidates for hard-to-fill roles, ensuring that even the most specialised positions are matched with qualified professionals:

Extensive Talent Network: We leverage our established network of public sector professionals including licensed social workers, healthcare, housing and SEND professionals, many of whom have experience in niche or specialised fields.

Targeted Job Advertising: We post job listings on industry-specific job boards, social media platforms, and professional networks to reach candidates who are actively seeking specialised roles.

Proactive Recruiting: For hard-to-fill positions, our recruitment team actively reaches out to passive candidates—those not actively looking for jobs but who may be a great fit for your vacancy.

Referrals and Partnerships: We utilise referrals from trusted professionals in the industry and work with educational institutions and professional associations to tap into new talent pools.

Advanced Candidate Matching Tools: Vitalis uses advanced algorithms and tools to match job requirements with the right candidates, focusing on experience, certifications, and geographic location.

By combining these strategies, we’re able to efficiently locate and engage with qualified professionals for even the most challenging roles.

Of course! Vitalis allows you to review detailed candidate profiles, including CVs and experience, before scheduling interviews, ensuring you only meet with suitable applicants.

We offer both temporary and permanent staffing solutions for local authorities and other healthcare-related roles, tailored to meet your organisation’s needs.
