Oceanside Staffing is unwaveringly rigorous—every candidate is evaluated with meticulous precision and the highest level of scrutiny.
Only 4% of our applicants make it through our evaluation process - elite homes deserve elite staff. Here are some key practices involved in the Oceanside Staffing Screening process.
-
RESUME REVIEW
Evaluate education, experience, and certifications relevant to the job.
-
PHONE INTERVIEW
Conduct an initial phone interview to assess basic qualifications, availability, and interest in the position.
-
Invite promising candidates for an in-person interview. This allows our staff to gauge personality fit, communication skills, and professionalism.
-
Request and contact references from previous employers to obtain insights into the job performance, reliability, and standing relationship with their previous employer. We require no less than two verifiable references before moving to the next stage of screening.
-
Assess practical skills such as first aid and CPR certification, knowledge of required job duties, and ability to handle emergencies.
-
Conduct comprehensive background checks including criminal records, driving history (if applicable), and employment verification to ensure reliability and trustworthiness.
*Oceanside staffing conducts comprehensive criminal background checks, education verifications, DMV record checks and social media checks. Background checks beyond this scope can incur an additional charge.
-
We schedule trial periods no more than 2-5 days where the staff member works alongside the family/manager to evaluate their interaction with other staff and their principal, adaptability to routines, and overall compatibility with the household dynamics. These trail periods are paid working hours, required by law regardless of the decision to hire.
-
Evaluate how well the candidate aligns with the family's values and expectations for household management.
-
Discuss and ensure the importance of confidentiality, discretion, and maintaining privacy within the family's home and community.
