I run Day Support and I make sure our potential hires come in for their interview during our busiest times, take them on a tour and let the individuals talk with them and ask anything they want.  I'm also incredibly up front about the amount of hands on care many of our folks need.

Uncertain if you are talking about ICF’s also but part of our interview process is that all potential employees spend time with the individuals during a meal.

 

This allows us to see their interaction and at the same give them an opportunity to see what the job may entail.

Great question Lisa….. looking forward to the responses. I would add an additional question if they provide any accommodations to support and if so, what are they? Assistive Technology? Etc.…

Subject: Questions about interviewing potential employees

 

Hello OPRA Members,

 

Question from a provider: Are any of you including the individuals you support in the interview process when hiring their staff? If so, what are the pros and cons of doing so?

Thanks!

Lisa
