3 Tips for Hiring
/We all have had those periods of short staffing, right now it seems more of us than not are suffering through together. Unfortunately this can lead to dissatisfaction among the current team members and if it goes on too long, will start to look at other options. So how can you increase your practice's chances of hiring that candidate.
Stand out! Now is not the time to be shy or timid with your job ads and web presence. You can absolutely have a little fun while being professional. The first impression you have for any candidate in any role is online including your website, social media, and reviews. 8 out of 10 candidates will look at all three before deciding to apply for the job or respond to your message. If your presence online is basically non-existent... we need to talk, now, call us today!
Get your community involved. Tell everyone you have a position open, including your team members, you never know what sales rep, friend of your neighbor's cousin, or associate's classmate will be looking.
Get help. Since there truly is a shortage of veterinary technicians and veterinarians your money might be best spent on a recruitment service that will actively seek out candidates for you. Consider how much in ads you will need to spend at least 3 job boards every month for probably six months to a year in hopes of getting qualified applicants.
