Dental Recruitment Evolution – IC008

Dental Recruitment is Changing! https://youtu.be/1WmvW9-1YWE Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below! Would you rather work in a lavish dental clinic with all the bells and whistles, but with a high turnover of nurses and lacking a culture or ethos…OR, work in a 'mediocre' clinic with happy staff and a thriving culture? What makes an awesome dental practice, and how can associates and therapists find them? Where are they hiding? Are they as rare as a 'good associate'? What is that even about? In the latest episode I chat with Andy Saunders and Simon Tucker about how dental recruitment has evolved - it is a purpose built episode if you are looking for a new opportunity or even if you are a principal looking to hire the right team member. We discuss: Why traditional methods of hiring Dentists, Therapists and Nurses may not be effective or good value any moreThe three types of CVs you needThe power of the Video CVImportance of the same values within the teamHow to find your 'tribe' and the practice you belong in (and why you cannot just go by what their website looks like)The features and indicators we SHOULD be looking for in a new practice If you like the new face of dental recruitment (or finally, just a face!) and want Andy and Openwide to help you, reach out to Andy!

Jaz's Introduction: This episode is all about careers as an associate and a bit of a continuation of the episode I did about finding an associate position and about your CVS. It's a very hot, sunny day today, end of June. Main Interview: [Jaz]So Gentlemen, thank you so much for joining me if you just kindly introduce yourselves, and tell us about why I might have interfered in terms of what you think why I've got you on the episode today to talk about finding an associate position and start with you, Andy. [Andy]Yeah, yeah. Good afternoon. My name is Andy Saunders, as you alluded to, I am the founder of the Openwide Group. We're a careers consultancy for the dental industry. I've got a bit of a different take on how I believe recruitment should be undertaken. I have over 10 years experience of running a recruitment business, we launched it, we took it from naught to 25 million in eight years, it was then sold to one of the big boys. So I feel that I'm in quite a good position to tell people how to position themselves so that they are maximizing their output for how they can best show themselves off to potential new principals. They might want to be owning their own practice how they can then recruit their own associates. But ultimately, I'm really passionate about how dentists A) how they recruit. And we've come up with a mythology, the three R's of recruitment, which I'm sure will allude to a bit later on, or [Jaz]Andy, I think what you're doing is you're taking your experience from your recruitment of days, in these successful companies that you know, help with, and you're bringing that into the dental industry, you really shaking it up. And the reason I wanted to bring you on is because one thing you said to me was 'how CVS are now changing,' because over the past few weeks, I've been involved with helping lots of dentists with their CVS, because then, you know, then, since that episode I released about CVS, they've been sending me their CVS for my opinion. And I've been happy to help. But one thing that you told me about how CVS may not be the best way anymore, that really say the back of my mind, and I really want to talk about that today, as well, Simon, please tell us a little about yourself. [Simon]Hello, Jaz, thanks for inviting me on. I'm a salesman. And for over 35 years of my life, I've been selling dental products and services, to dental practices all over the world. I've lived in the States,
