The challenge
In Spring 2023, one of Northern Ireland’s largest NHS Trusts faced a crisis in domiciliary care: hundreds of care packages, but no staff to deliver them. Recruitment bottlenecks, a lack of understanding amongst the target audience of what ‘domiciliary care’ entailed, limited marketing expertise, and overwhelmed internal teams meant the challenge wasn’t just finding candidates — it was rethinking how to reach, process, and recruit them at speed.
The solution
That’s when the Trust turned to Healthdaq with their proven track record delivering the COVID-era HSC Workforce Appeal for the Department of Health (NI) and the five Northern Ireland NHS Trusts and Public Health Agency.
With tight timelines and an urgent mandate, Healthdaq helped the Trust do what most thought unworkable: build a high-volume, high-impact recruitment campaign — fast. And not just fast, but inclusive, compliant, and cost-effective.
In just a few weeks, the Trust’s HR and social care team was running large-scale hiring events that completed the entire recruitment journey — from application to conditional offer — in a single day. The results didn’t just exceed targets. They redefined what’s possible in social care recruitment.
The real success? Dozens of patients finally received the care they’d been waiting for, thanks to a Trust bold enough to change how things are done — and a partner built to make it happen.
