Writing Effective Recruitment Method Statements for Social Care
🔍 Why Recruitment is Key in Tenders
Recruiting and retaining the right staff is central to delivering safe, high-quality care. Commissioners need confidence that your recruitment processes are robust, fair, and aligned with safeguarding best practice.
Strong recruitment method statements evidence how you attract, vet, and onboard staff — embedding values-based recruitment and safer recruitment standards throughout.
📋 Key Areas to Cover in Your Response
- Advertising and attraction strategies for care roles
- Values-based recruitment processes
- Safer recruitment checks (DBS, references, gaps in employment)
- Induction, probation, and supervision processes
- Retention strategies and career development pathways
- Alignment with CQC and Skills for Care expectations
Your response should show practical steps, not just policy statements, to reassure commissioners of your ability to recruit safely and effectively.
💡 Top Tips for Tender Success
- Be clear on how you assess values and suitability at interview
- Reference CQC’s Key Lines of Enquiry (Safe, Well-Led)
- Link recruitment to retention and workforce stability
- Provide examples of recruitment success where possible
🔑 Final Thought
