Fill every shift. Care for every resident.
HappyFleet's AI agents phone-screen every applicant, score them for fit, and move qualified candidates from application to day-one ready — so your community teams spend their shift with residents, not chasing callbacks.
Challenges every senior living operator knows too well
Census recovered. Staffing didn't
Senior housing occupancy climbed to 89.1% at the end of 2025 — the eighteenth straight quarter of gains, with demand outpacing new supply. Every new move-in is revenue, and every new move-in needs care hours your current roster can't always cover. Growth is no longer the constraint. Staffing is.
Turnover never stops
Assisted living turnover runs around 41% a year — and it's worst in the roles residents see every day: personal care assistants near 49%, dining services above 46%, CNAs near 43%. With 87% of providers reporting difficulty hiring, every departure means an open shift, an overworked team, and a resident who notices a new face.
Every replacement is expensive — and your best people leave for the hospital
Replacing a single CNA runs $3,000–$6,000 in recruiting, onboarding, and lost productivity. And 95% of direct care workers who leave don't exit healthcare — they move to hospitals, clinics, and home health, where the next offer usually arrives before your callback does.

Features built to move every applicant from applied to day-one ready
Reach every applicant the moment they apply, 24/7
The AI Recruiter screens over a regular phone call — no apps, no forms — in the applicant's preferred language, day or night. CNAs and caregivers field offers from every direction, most are free to talk after shifts and on weekends, and the first employer to reach them usually wins. Beat the hospital down the road to the phone.
Stop early dropouts with a built-in job preview
During the screening call, the AI Recruiter walks every applicant through the role — the residents, the pace, the physical demands, the shift expectations. Better-informed candidates show up on Day 1 and stay longer, which matters most in the high-churn roles where early departures do the damage.
Score for fit before you invest in onboarding
Every applicant answers the same role-specific questions — certifications, availability, resident care judgment, empathy, experience — and receives a numeric score against consistent standards, with key answers, a full transcript, and a recording on the profile. Know which candidates are worth a background check and orientation before you spend on either.
Screen every role in the community, not just clinical
Caregivers and CNAs, med techs, dining and culinary, housekeeping and laundry, activities and life enrichment — every department runs its own screening questions and pipeline stages in the same system. One platform staffs the whole building.
Give your community teams their time back
Build pipeline stages the way you actually hire and track every candidate across every community from one dashboard. Automatic email and SMS notifications keep candidates moving forward without any manual follow-up. No spreadsheets, no missed callbacks, no recruiting between rounds.
One standard across every community
Single community or multi-community portfolio — every location screens applicants with the same questions, scored against the same criteria. Executive directors across your portfolio can compare candidates on a level playing field, and you always know what "qualified" means regardless of which community is hiring. Consistent hiring at scale, without a dedicated recruiting team at every site.
Staff up as census grows — without the scramble
With occupancy climbing quarter after quarter, move-ins don't wait for your hiring pipeline to catch up. The AI Recruiter screens every applicant the moment they apply, 24/7, no matter how many come in at once — so your staffing keeps pace with your census instead of bottlenecking on your business office's availability, and every new resident is met by a fully staffed team.
Works alongside the systems you already run
HappyFleet handles recruiting from application to day-one ready. Your existing operational tools keep doing what they're built for — your workforce management, scheduling, payroll, and resident care systems keep running as normal. HappyFleet works alongside the systems you already run rather than replacing them.
