Becker's Dental + DSO Review

18 BECKER'S DENTAL + DSO REVIEW - VOL. 2021 NO. 3 EXECUTIVE BRIEFING 2. Use social media – especially LinkedIn Social media is a fantastic recruiting tool. Social recruiting allows you to share job postings with your entire network and encourages a two-way conversation. Even if the people you reach aren't interested in the role you're hiring for, it's likely they may know someone who is a good fit. People often debate and ask about which one is the best, and although there's no specific one to claim the "best." LinkedIn works very well as a professional platform! 3. Implement an employee referral program – let your employees be your true cheerleaders! Great people usually make a habit of surrounding themselves with other highly capable professionals. So why not financially incentivize your awesome employees to tell their networks about you hiring and how awesome it's like to work for you? I have a separate document on this, please feel free to direct message me on LinkedIn if you want to learn more. 4. Create compelling job descriptions Writing an attention-grabbing and thorough job description is one of the most important parts of the hiring process. Refer back to my previous article on this: https:// w w w.linke din.c o m /p ul s e / f r u s t r a te d - re c r ui t in g - yo ur- dental-practice-struggling-amroliwala. 5. Check resumes posted online and post jobs on multiple job boards There are multiple job boards you can use, I would recommend the following as a start: Indeed ZipRecruiter Dental Associations per state HealtheCareers iHire Specialty Associations All of these sites have a place for you to post your job, and then a place to do resume searches. Make sure you fully utilize both as they usually come together in one price. 6. Consider past candidates – ensure you save all resumes and stay up to date and organized with proper notes for each candidate When you hire for a position, there are often a few talented candidates that end up not making the cut due to timing or other external factors. When you're recruiting for a similar position, consider revisiting the resumes of past applicants. These candidates are already familiar with your company and may have picked up new skills and experience since you last spoke. Keep in mind while you are interviewing to take good notes on each candidate and keep their resume on file for future openings! 7. Attend industry-related annual/quarterly/ monthly meetings Even though job fairs can be helpful for finding qualified candidates actively looking, non-recruiting-specific events are also an excellent opportunity to meet motivated industry professionals who are eager to network and advance in their field. This is a good way to find experienced, passive talent, and helps you stay ahead of the game when it comes to recruiting for quality talent in a candidate-driven market! You can attend trade shows, CE and/or networking events that are industry and area specific and pluck talent that way, or at least spread the word and buzz on you hiring, and also build an employer brand. 8. Involve colleagues in the interview process – don't be the only person involved in interviewing It's best to get multiple people involved in an interview versus doing it by yourself (even if you are the hiring authority). It helps the candidate gain a sense that you are more team oriented versus "top down," and they will learn how others feel about the company, culture and role as well. It will also help you in making more sound hiring decisions for quality talent that will last you a long time! n Written by Priyanki Amroliwala, Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition at 42 Nor th Dental.
