Why CARMA

Care Recruitment Is Broken

Care homes struggle with outdated recruitment processes that cost time, money, and quality of care. We built CARMA to change that.

Long time-to-hire

3-4 months to fill critical care roles

Sky-high agency fees

Draining budgets that could improve care

Reliance on agency staff

Inconsistent care and no team stability

Fragmented compliance records

Causing CQC rating issues and audit stress

Manual CV sifting & admin

Hours lost on repetitive screening tasks

The Real Cost of Delay

Every day you delay filling a role is money lost, pressure on staff increased, and risk to resident wellbeing. High-cost temp staffing drains your budget while risking your CQC rating. It doesn't have to be this way.
