Targeted Recruitment Program  

The Let It Be Us Targeted Recruitment Program’s experienced recruitment team offers a customized solution for each child referred, creating a new unique database of parent resources for each child, which is delivered to the child’s caseworker in a speedy and timely manner. At Let It Be Us we utilize our aggregated registry of licensed and waiting parents, our subscription-based platforms, our targeted social media platforms, and our targeted email marketing to reach thousands of licensed parents while targeting specific locations and demographics. Through this Program, Let It Be Us assists caseworkers in serving children who primarily are in emergent need or who are challenging to place, giving caseworkers access to parents who are licensed, waiting, and interested in the make-up of each specific child; thereby creating faster and better placements.
