Data last updated August 4, 2025

Introduction:

As demand in the home care job market grows, tracking application volume offers valuable insight into caregiver engagement and opportunity-seeking. This month’s metric highlights trends in total applications submitted across both RPO and agency channels, revealing how caregivers are actively looking for new opportunities and how that demand is evolving month over month.

The Metrics 📊

Total Applications: This metric reflects the total number of applications received over the past 8 months. It combines application data from both our Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) service and applications submitted through the agencies’ Applicant Tracking System (ATS). It highlights key trends in market activity and helps gauge how caregiver interest aligns with shifting workforce needs.

This Month’s Takeaway 💡

As of June, applications are gradually increasing and returning to their peak at 3,254 before the numbers took a drastic dip into the 1,000s in February. The peak at the beginning of the year can be attributed to the abundance of opportunities and new engagement. We anticipate that applications will reach the same levels as they did in January over a few months. Agencies should continue to track applications and reference the causes of January’s application surge for future recruitment.
