CareAcademy Unveils New Suite to Tackle Care Worker Shortage and Boost Caregiver Recruitment

CareSync by CareAcademy launches this summer—cut hiring costs, onboarding time, and unlock a ready-to-work caregiver network.

CareAcademy, the leading provider of caregiver training and compliance technology, announced 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.”
