--000000000000634538060d0973c7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear Tim, I wanted to follow up on our recent conversation regarding the acquisition of registered caregivers, particularly in light of the crucial requirement set by our significant client, Vancouver Coastal Health. As discussed, the demand for caregivers with a valid registration number is pressing, and this requirement has become pivotal for our continued collaboration with Vancouver Coastal Health, as well as our potential expansion within the government sector. Historically, we have successfully engaged with schools providing caregiver programs to secure these professionals even before graduation. However, the challenge arises post-graduation, with a substantial portion of our caregivers seeking opportunities elsewhere, as soon as they get their registration number because they get better pay and benefits. To maintain our position with Vancouver Coastal Health and further explore opportunities within the government, we need to strategize on both recruitment and retention of registered caregivers. One notable obstacle we currently face is the schools' request for a hiring letter that supports their students' applications for permanent residency. I've observed that some competing agencies are already providing such letters, giving them preferential treatment from schools, and subsequently, we are losing potential hiring opportunities. While I lack expertise in immigration matters, I strongly believe seeking legal advice on our ability to provide the required hiring letter is essential to overcome this obstacle. Additionally, I propose exploring the possibility of enhancing our caregiver compensation package, specifically for those with a registration number. Offering a competitive hourly rate ranging from $28 to $30 and benefits, contingent on margin considerations, could significantly improve our appeal to registered caregivers and increase our chances of securing and retaining top talent in this category. I appreciate your attention to these matters, and I am confident that addressing these challenges will strengthen our position in the caregiver market and ensure sustained success with our key client. Looking forward to your insights and guidance on the proposed strategies.
