Partnering for Progress: Big Bend Hospice’s Success with CareerSource Capital Region

At CareerSource Capital Region (CSCR), fostering robust community partnerships is at the heart of what we do. We're dedicated to bridging the gap between employers and skilled candidates, bolstering our workforce and contributing to the growth of our community. 

A recent testament to our commitment is our collaboration with Big Bend Hospice. When they approached us seeking to refine their talent acquisition process, we were thrilled to step in and provide tailored solutions. 

Brenda Bradley, Talent Acquisition Manager at Big Bend Hospice, enthusiastically shared her experience of working with us, highlighting the invaluable support CSCR provided to her organization. 

Big Bend Hospice, with a mission extending far beyond end-of-life care, recognized the significance of recruiting individuals who resonated with their values and dedication. This is where CSCR's expertise played a pivotal role. 

“CareerSource works tirelessly to help employers throughout the Big Bend Area connect with skilled talent and close the employment gap,” noted Brenda. “Since partnering with CSCR, their journey toward strategic talent acquisition has been nothing short of transformative.” 

Our collaboration, spearheaded by Cindy Dotson, our HR director, and Brenda Bradley, emphasized the power of community partnerships. Brenda acclaimed, “Working with CareerSource Capital Region has resulted in tangible outcomes for our organization in more ways than one.” She went on to say that CSCR was the perfect ally, sharing a vision for meaningful impact. 

From the beginning, Khari Harrison, Manager of Business and Employer Solutions at CSCR, demonstrated an exceptional understanding of Big Bend Hospice's unique needs. With specialized end-of-life care spanning an eight-county service area, finding the right talent was paramount, and Khari meticulously grasped these requirements. Brenda emphasized the value of CSCR's dedicated team, stating, “Their professionals truly work to understand the needs of both employers and job seekers.” 

The partnership between Big Bend Hospice and CSCR has yielded remarkable results, facilitating hiring, community engagement, and expansion. Notably, Big Bend Hospice’s participation in the Paychecks for Patriots career fair led to the discovery of an exceptional candidate to fill the crucial position of Referral Specialist. 

When Big Bend Hospice needed to expand its workforce amidst launching new initiatives, CareerSource Capital Region’s assistance proved invaluable. Amidst the urgency of new projects, including a new inpatient unit and an electronic medical record system, CSCR’s Gadsden County Hiring Fair enabled swift identification and onboarding of qualified candidates, ensuring seamless project execution. Brenda reported that Big Bend Hospice was able to connect with qualified talent within twenty-four hours.  CareerSource Capital Region goes beyond traditional hiring fairs, offering a suite of employer solutions tailored to organizational needs, and its proactive approach, driven by job-matching data, ensures optimal matches, enhancing team capabilities and efficiency.
