Caregiver vs alternatives — which certification is actually more recognized?

I'm trying to decide between pursuing Caregiver and a couple of alternative certifications in the same field. Hoping people with industry experience can weigh in.

From what I've researched, the Caregiver focuses more heavily on certified caregiver, which aligns with the direction my career is heading. But I've heard mixed things about how widely it's recognized compared to the more established options in this space.

I've started with the certified caregiver and the content quality is strong. I'm also cross-referencing with certified caregiver to understand where the content gaps are compared to competing programs. But strong study material doesn't necessarily mean the credential carries equal weight with hiring managers.

If you're in hiring or have been hired with the Caregiver cert: do recruiters actually know what it is? Or do you find yourself having to explain it?
