Summary:
It is important that when attracting, recruiting and training talent that we do so in a systemised manner
This system outlines processes and procedures related to the hiring process for practioners, however can be adapted for other roles (eg. admin)
Steps in this system should not overule critical thinking and common sense. Each scenario will be slightly different and we should respect that applicants may need different responses that are out of protocol
We want to take the approach of "always hiring" and always be on the look out for a new team member who may be a good fit for our team. below is a list of strategies we should be employing throughout the year and within our advertising period
Regular talent attracting actions
Let potential hires see their workplace, team and clients. This allows people to filter "would I want to work here?"
Done through many mediums such as Linkedin, in person, webinars, etc. This shows AUTHORITY in our clinical space, people want to join a space they can learn and grow in
A good example is when we have students who learn from us and can see the potential for their professional growth
Seek, social media, email and connections (eg. uni's)
