OUR FULL HOUSE (How it will all work)

Hi there everyone! It's us again, this time ready to share with you some information on the functions of the website. We will soon share with you videos of tips for using the website and more resources to help you along so stay tuned in the coming weeks and months.

Each type of user (see more on your user type below…) on the site will have a slightly different set of functions to meet their needs. We have aimed to create something easy flowing and informative, the below functions will tell you how!

As an OFH member you are either a:

• Helping Hand (candidate in the domestic industry)
• Full House (a house in need of help, families)
• Agency (an employment agency)

And we are here to connect you all!

We check and approve all members of the site so that they are relevant and using OFH for its true purposes. After you have the green light from the admin team you can use your profile as follows:

Full House - Members of the Public looking to hire in-home help

• Search for a helping hand: search for anyone under the list of positions we currently cater for, search for someone who has multiple skills, find multiple people to cater for what you need. If you find someone you wish to speak to further you can contact them direct to their email address and wait for a reply through your own email platform.
• Post an Ad. You can post an ad which will be seen by all candidates that it may suit. As they search for positions they may come across your ad, view your full profile and choose to apply/email you for further information. Along with this you can find a candidate yourself through the above mentioned feature and share with them your ad.
• View and Edit your ads as much as you like. As your needs change, children grow or a job is filled you can delete or edit until your heart's content.

Candidate Members

• Search for your next position. You may be looking for multiple positions, a job that you can really use all your skills in or maybe a temporary one, whichever it is you can search for it all very easily. You can view ads and the profiles of families/agencies before contacting them easily and safely.
• Edit your profile whenever something changes at the touch of a button. You may have changed what you are wanting to do, finished a course, updated your first aid or had more work experience, either way you can edit your profile and find the right fit!

Agency Members

• Search for a candidate to suit any of your current listed positions and reach out to them via email. You can view their full profile and determine whether or not they will suit your clients before you contact them. Search for exactly what you need and fill the positions on your books!
• Post an ad for any positions you have available to attract the right candidates. Because we are free to use you can further your reach without putting a dent in the budget.
• Agency members have a few more features yet to be created that will help them connect with more families, candidates and become featured members of our site. Our hope is to be beneficial for all parties, connecting our members and not cutting out an industry but adding to it!

All users will also have access to lots of extra helpful bits and pieces, like a whole list of Handy Resources and tips and freebies relevant to the job and candidate search journey; the choice to receive Email updates of listings customised to your needs; and the ability to promote your ads or profile to the top of the list. Some of these will be available right away, others are under construction, so stay tuned for future updates!)

It is our goal to be here for our users. We want to provide advice where needed to succeed on your own, however if you are having no luck we can put you in touch with any of our listed agencies that may be able to help the process. We are easily contactable and will continue to provide resources to help you gain employment or an employee. We strive to provide new and more user friendly functions on a daily basis and hope our site can help you to find the help you need.

We would like to note that your private information should stay private, we have designed the website so that you can protect yourself and/or family. Always be aware of what you share and ensure you take the necessary steps for safety including criminal, qualification and reference checks. This responsibility is in your hands, not of the Our Full House team (although we provide you with a handy resources with all you need to know... Safety first!). 

We will stay in touch over the coming weeks as we come up to launch to help make you better equipped to use Our Full House and find the right fit! We so hope you will join us in the brand new community.

Love, the Our Full House Team;

For households full to the brim.
