One of the biggest questions I hear is “What do you see happening in *my* market?” While there are trends and challenges that spread nationwide, it is true that each market is unique. While doing a webinar on [Hiring CNAs in Washington DC](https://www.mycnajobs.com/search-results-resumes/?action=search&listing_type%5Bequal%5D=Resume&Location_ZipCode%5Bgeo%5D%5Blocation%5D=20010&Location_ZipCode%5Bgeo%5D%5Bradius%5D=20&experienceyears%5Bmulti_like%5D%5B%5D=&gender%5Bmulti_like%5D%5B%5D=), I picked out a few interesting pieces of information on Caregiver recruitment in the greater DC and Northern Virginia area. **Over 1/3 of the the market is uncertified** 37% of Caregivers in DC and Northern Virginia are uncertified and looking for companion work. If your agency is only [hiring CNAs](http://mycnajobs.com/hire) for cases that could be handled by an uncertified worker, you may be cutting out a large portion of your market. **46% of caregivers have less than 2 years of experience** An experienced Caregiver is always a great thing to have, but if you have a high experience requirement you may be missing out on a ton of great Caregivers near you! We’ve seen lots of agencies develop training programs to capture new Caregivers and help them learn to be the best employees they can be! **39% of Caregivers don’t have a car** Over a third of the Caregivers in the Washington DC market don't have a car. We see agencies hiring these Caregivers and working to match them up with cases where it doesn’t cause an issue. Those agencies are the ones having better success as [CNA recruitment](http://mycnajobs.com/hire) is getting more difficult.
