Our Candidate Selection Process
We only invite the best people to join our team. Our vetting procedure is meant to guarantee that each applicant maintains the greatest degree of professionalism in order to meet or surpass our families' expectations. Our competitive and rigorous screening procedure differentiates us from other agencies.
When applying to Sunny Nursing Services, candidates and private instructors must go through the stages outlined below. The candidate is re-evaluated after each stage of our screening procedure before moving on to the next. Each candidate is asked to:
1. Submit an initial, online application for a specific job. This application, along with the individual's résumé, is carefully scrutinized by our recruiting HR team for substantial experience relevant to the position for which the candidate applied. Sunny Nursing Services only accepts candidates who match the following criteria:
• At least 21 years of age
• Legally permitted to work within the India
• Possess at least three years of professional childcare experience.
2. Complete an initial interview via video conference with our recruiting team to assess if they are a suitable match for the role they have applied for.
Only exceptional, best-in-class candidates are allowed to meet with our team, and only the most exceptional, best-in-class prospects are requested to advance in our process based on the following criteria:
1. Confidence
2. Humility
3. Adaptability
4. Motivation
5. Positivity
6. Overall “vibe”
3. Provide at least five childcare or education-related references for Sunny Nursing Services to contact directly. These references will directly match the first five positions on the candidate’s resume in order to verify the candidate’s working history.
We ask our candidates’ references over 20 questions to gain a full understanding of what kind of experience and knowledge the candidate gained while working in each of their past or current positions. We greatly value our clients’ time, and therefore prioritize obtaining the most heavy-hitting and useful information from our candidates’ references, such as the candidate’s level of energy and engagement, their responsiveness to feedback, any areas of improvement, and their overall reliability.
4. Submit an extensive, in-depth written application, assessing their professionalism, experience, personality, and childcare values. (Only nanny candidates)
The long-form application is where we see the personality and individuality of each nanny candidate shine. We require that each candidate elaborate on their basic qualifications, specialized experience, education and certifications, employment goals, childcare philosophy and personality, and other key points of their background.
5. Undergo a thorough internet and social media screening. Our candidates are expected to present themselves in a professional manner both on and off duty, including in their social media presence. We take a close look at our candidates’ Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest profiles as well as any other online content we may encounter.
6. Complete a comprehensive job-specific interview via phone call with our placement coordinator.
On this call, we discuss the candidate’s background in detail and pinpoint exactly what type of position the candidate is currently looking for. We pride ourselves on being excellent matchmakers, and therefore harbor a wide base of knowledge on each of our candidates in order to discern if their expertise, skills, and personality are a match for the position they have applied for.
7. Complete and pass a professional background check in compliance with applicable law which includes driving records and education verification, as well as TrustLine certification in the state of California. Trusting another person to care for your children can be daunting; that’s why we go above and beyond to ensure our clients are making a choice that’s safe for their family. Once one of our clients offers a candidate a position, the candidate will undergo a full background check report in compliance with applicable law which includes social security number validation, driving records, education verification, and criminal registries.
