Season 7: Hiring, Recruitment, and Building a Clinic Team
Welcome If you’ve ever found yourself struggling to attract the right people, getting ghosted by candidates, or simply tired of recruitment draining your time and energy, this episode is for you. Today, I’m joined by Laura, a recruitment agent, to unpack what candidate experience really means, what’s changed in the hiring market, and why working with an agency might matter more than ever.
Episode Summary We chat about the challenges clinic owners face when hiring, why the old “post and hope” method no longer works, and the real cost of doing recruitment yourself. Laura shares her insider perspective on why building genuine relationships with candidates is key, how agencies have access to hidden talent, and why timely communication can make or break your next hire.
