(PRWEB) August 15, 2006
After 5 years in the healthcare industry, local entrepreneur Kami Koski, 34, and international marketer Darren Little, 42 of Vancouver, B. C. identified a niche in the healthcare industry. With the increasing demand for caregivers amongst the baby boomer generation, Koski and Little saw the need for a healthcare employment-matchmaking service; an advertising platform where care givers could showcase their availability to both facilities and private individuals looking to hire staff.
The two entrepreneurs envisioned a place where people in need of emotional support could also meet, chat, and help one another through difficult times. The result was CareAides. com, the world’s first healthcare employment-matchmaking site and healthcare web community.
“Every day, I was getting between 5 and 10 calls from care givers that were searching for employment”, said Koski. “They would e-mail or fax their resumes to me, and after a few months the file became so big, that it became increasingly more difficult to put a face to each of the care givers resumes. CareAides. com was designed to give caregivers a much more personalized way of showcasing their resumes, work preferences, pictures and even video profiles. It makes the entire process of searching for a Care Aide a very enjoyable experience.”
CareAides. com is also an online web community that provides easy access to a host of company’s, products and services all related to the Health Care Industry. The “forums section” connects people that are experiencing health challenges with people who can help them find solutions.
Members are able to review current job postings throughout Canada while connecting with other care givers. This website and service not only helps to create jobs, it also facilitates employers in quickly finding suitable Care Aides by allowing them to view vital employee details at a glance. The site also provides resources for home health care products and services. Registration to the site is absolutely free, giving people access to post topics and connect with other indiviudals in the forums section of the site.
