Tips for recruiting the very best talent

Alan S. Adams shares his insights for building – and retaining – the very best talent and how businesses can communicate the right messaging to potential candidates.

It’s very much an employee market right now – with job vacancies plentiful, but available skilled workers scarce. The recent CIPD quarterly Labour Market Outlook reported that 57 per cent of employers have hard-to-fill vacancies, and 29 per cent anticipate significant problems in recruitment over the next six months. And so, it’s unsurprising that many clinics are struggling to attract and build the right team.

Without a strong, loyal, and dedicated workforce, businesses can undoubtedly be impacted – as it can lead to a disruption to workflow, a reduction in service quality or reputation, or even a loss of clients. For this reason, recruitment – and employee retention – should be the priority for clinic owners. Achieving this is much like appealing to potential clients, in that you want to showcase your clinic and what you have to offer to attract the very best talent within the industry.
