CareAcademy Announces New Product Suite to Address the Direct Care Worker Shortage and Transform Caregiver Recruitment

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CareAcademy, the leading provider of caregiver training and compliance technology, announced today a bold new product initiative designed to address one of the most pressing challenges in healthcare: the nationwide shortage of direct care workers.
This new product suite, CareSync by CareAcademy, reimagines how direct care workers enter, move through, and thrive in the post-acute care industry. Built for both employers and caregivers, the strategic vision includes three core components:
Find Employees – Recruit new candidates who are credentialed or a new talent pool actively looking to enter the field of direct care work through an ecosystem of interested and available individuals.
Verify Records – Seamlessly verify and download caregiver certificates and training logs to simplify hiring decisions.
Onboard Quickly – Transfer caregiver training records, through Shared Training History, in real time to eliminate redundant training, reduce training costs, and accelerate time-to-work.
The first capability released will be native in the CareAcademy Training Platform and will be available in early July 2025. Through Shared Training History, employers will gain the ability to automatically access and apply training histories from caregivers with prior experience—dramatically reducing onboarding bottlenecks and costs.
'For too long, onboarding inefficiencies and record silos have kept capable caregivers on the sidelines,' said Helen Adeosun, CEO and Founder of CareAcademy. 'CareSync by CareAcademy brings us closer to a future where entering the caregiving field is more accessible, and finding work is as intuitive as using LinkedIn.'
CareAcademy's vision is to build a connected, credentialed, and elevated direct care workforce. By integrating recruiting, credential verification, and onboarding into one seamless experience, CareAcademy is unlocking a broader, more diverse talent pool—and accelerating pathways into the direct care industry.
For caregivers, this technology opens doors to new job opportunities and reduces barriers to employment. For employers, it offers a modern, scalable solution to reduce hiring friction, close staffing gaps, and find greater operational efficiency.

LinkedIn CEO says AI writing assistant is not as popular as expected

While LinkedIn users seem to have embraced AI, there's one area that's seen less uptake than expected, according to CEO Ryan Roslansky: AI-generated suggestions for polishing your LinkedIn posts. 'It's not as popular as I thought it would be, quite frankly,' Roslansky told Bloomberg. When asked why, he argued that the 'barrier is much higher' to posting on LinkedIn, because 'this is your resume online.' Plus, users can face real backlash if they post something that's too obviously generated by AI. 'If you're getting called out on X or TikTok, that's one thing,' he added. 'But when you're getting called out on LinkedIn, it really impacts your ability to create economic opportunity for yourself.' At the same time, Roslansky noted that the professional social network has seen a 6x increase in jobs requiring AI-related skills over the past year, while the number of users adding AI skills to their profiles is up 20x. And he said he uses AI himself when he talks to his boss, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella: 'Every time, before I send him an email, I hit the Copilot button to make sure that I sound Satya-smart.'

How a 'brag doc' can help you ace interviews and land a job, says recruiter: ‘No one's reading cover letters'

One of the best pieces of advice Maddie Machado received from a former boss at Microsoft was to keep track of all her career wins. Machado would log "anytime I did a good job, anytime I made someone's life easier, anytime I got kudos" first in a Microsoft document, then a running email draft and now in a slide presentation. She calls it a "brag doc" and says she's used it in every interview for the last 10 years. Machado, 35, is a reverse recruiter and founder of SkillScript, a resume platform, in Tampa, Fla. The concept of documenting your career wins isn't new, but her method categorizes four specific aspects of your professional success: Machado says having a brag doc on hand can help you network and could make a bigger impact than a traditional resume or cover letter. "No one's reading cover letters," Machado says. "Even when I was a recruiter for so many years, I can count on maybe one hand how many times I actually read a cover letter." A brag doc, meanwhile, is "a time for you to toot your own horn," Machado says. "It's hard to see on your resume the amount of impact and the things that you actually owned and are actually proud of." It also shows off the most important aspects of a candidate a hiring manager wants to know, Machado says, based on her time working with hiring managers at companies like Meta and LinkedIn. Hiring managers will generally already know what you do day-to-day in your role, Machado says, but are looking for what you'll bring to a new company and things that will make them think, "Wow, look at what she did there. Imagine what she could do here," she says. "And that's what your brag doc is doing." A brag doc is a useful resource to attach to your application, to follow up with a hiring manager on LinkedIn after you've applied for a role, or even to cold-message someone to network, Machado says. It won't necessarily get you the job right away, but it could get you in the hiring pipeline that much faster. Then, use it to prepare for interviews and negotiate a strong offer, Machado says. "It's nice to be able to remind yourself what you've accomplished so far, whether it's big or small, and also be able to share with other people," she says.
