Rewrite the caregiver job post so the right people apply

Today

You repost the same ad every month, get forty applicants, and half never answer the phone. The two who make it to an interview wanted a different schedule than the one you are actually trying to fill.

With Claude

The post names the real shift, the real work, and the real reason someone stays, and it comes with screening questions for the first call so a schedule mismatch shows up in four minutes instead of four days.

The prompt

Paste this into claude.ai and replace anything in brackets.

You are writing a caregiver recruiting post and a first call screening script for a home care agency. Write honestly. Do not invent pay, benefits, hours, or claims about our agency that I did not give you.

Our agency:
[agency name, city or service area, how long you have been open, and one true thing that makes working here different, such as guaranteed hours, consistent client assignments, or a nurse who answers the phone at night]

The opening I am filling right now:
[shift days and hours, the client situation in general terms with no identifying details, whether driving is required, and what certification is required, such as CNA, HHA, or none]

Pay and benefits exactly as I can state them:
[hourly range, overtime, mileage, paid training, time off. If I left something out, leave it out rather than guessing]

Write three things:
1. A job post of about two hundred words that opens with the shift and the work instead of a paragraph about our mission, states the pay range exactly as I gave it, and names one honest hard part of the job
2. A shorter version of the same post for a text message or a job board with a tight character limit
3. Eight first call screening questions in the order I should ask them, starting with the ones that disqualify fastest, such as schedule, transportation, and distance. For each one, add a line on what a good answer sounds like and what should make me stop

Rules: no words like rockstar or family atmosphere, no promises beyond what I gave you, and nothing that could read as screening on age, health, family status, or any other protected characteristic. Under a heading called Have your employment attorney check, list anything that touches worker classification, overtime, or wage rules in my state.

What to skip in home care and senior care agencies

  • Client health information in a consumer chat window. Do not paste client names, dates of birth, addresses, medication lists, physician orders, or exports from your scheduling and EVV system into claude.ai on a Free, Pro, Max, or Team plan. Anthropic provides a Business Associate Agreement covering its HIPAA-ready services, such as the first-party API or an Enterprise organization where the Primary Owner activates HIPAA compliance and accepts the BAA, and the consumer plans sit outside that coverage. That is why every prompt here is written to run on de-identified notes and reusable templates.
  • Care decisions. Claude cannot assess a client's condition, determine a level of care, set how many hours someone needs, judge fall risk, or weigh in on whether a client can stay home safely. Those are clinical judgments that belong to the nurse or care manager who owns the plan, under your state's supervision rules. Claude only helps explain a decision a qualified person already made.
  • Telling you what your state requires. Licensing rules, caregiver training hours, supervisory visit intervals, and survey standards vary by state and they change, so a confident written summary of the requirements is exactly the wrong thing to rely on. Verify against your state licensing agency's actual regulations and your accrediting body. Using Claude to build the list of questions you take to them is fair game.
