Hiring therapists for in-home child care is challenging because it's not a suitable role for everyone. Many candidates are surprised by the difficulty and realize they are wrong for the job only after being hired. Steffanie Chaviano, VP of Talent Acquisition at Autism Learning Partners, has spent eight years solving that exact problem at scale across 60 regions and 16 states. In this episode of Talent All Stars, Steffanie walks through the two-step interview process ALP rebuilt from scratch, why they introduced a realistic job preview before candidates ever speak to a recruiter, and how AI automation freed up her team to focus on the work that actually requires a human. You'll also hear: How she went from staffing winery workers in Napa to leading TA at a national healthcare organization Why she took a pay cut to break into in-house recruiting, and how she rose to VP How AI fatigue is changing candidate behavior, and what ALP is doing about it Connect with Steffanie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schaviano/ Learn more about Autism Learning Partners: www.autismlearningpartners.com Connect with us: 💻 All Episodes: TalentAllStars.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ziprecruiter/ 💼 Dave’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davetravers/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ziprecruiter 🎵TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ziprecruiter   Enjoyed this episode?
