The step between a profile and a job
On Gilgalcare, a background check is not optional and it is not something a family has to ask for. It is a stage in the caregiver’s path: build the profile, clear the check, get approved, then apply.
Stage by stage
Nothing about this is hidden from either side. A family should know exactly what has been checked before someone walks into their home, and a caregiver should know exactly what is being asked of them.
Finish your profile first
Your credentials, experience, availability and location. The screening cannot start until we know which role you are applying for.
Gilgalcare reviews the profile
A person checks that what you hold matches what the roles you want actually require, and that your profile meets the job requirements before it is approved.
The screening is run
Our screening company runs the background check. Gilgalcare does not run it itself, and we will not name a provider or quote a price on this page until the screening partner is confirmed.
Cleared, then you can apply
A caregiver cannot apply to any job on Gilgalcare until a check has come back cleared. A profile that has not cleared is not shown to families or facilities.
For caregivers
- ✓The check happens once, before you apply anywhere — not again for every family.
- ✓Your profile stays private while it is in review.
- ✓If something on it needs explaining, you talk to a person at Gilgalcare, not a form.
For families & facilities
- ✓Nobody reaches you before the check has cleared.
- ✓Credentials are verified against the requirements you wrote.
- ✓Gilgalcare approves the profile itself — screening alone is not enough.
Screening partner and pricing
Gilgalcare is finalizing the screening company that will run these checks, along with the cost to the caregiver. Rather than publish a name or a price that may change, we will put the confirmed partner and the exact fee on this page as soon as it is set. Until then, call and we will tell you where things stand today.
