Hiring: medical assistants and aides in Atlanta - what worked for you?

A home-care agency in Atlanta is taking applications for aides with paid training. There are 8 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Some do not require prior experience for entry-level roles. Do any of these pay for certification?

Ask about overtime and shift differentials. The hourly rate does not tell the whole story.

I got into a patient-care role with no experience. They paid for my certification once I passed a background check.
