Time to hire a new team member? Feeling stressed and dreading it? PROFILE LET US DO THE WORK Ever made a hiring mistake? Feel sick when you know you need to start the hunt for a new team player? Have you given the responsibility of hiring to another team member and it went horribly wrong? We can help! The cost of losing or replacing team members grows every year. Turnover costs include productivity losses during training, recruiting and lost work while a position is vacant. For all jobs earning less than $50,000 per year, or more than 40 percent of U.S. jobs, the average cost of replacing an employee amounts to fully 20 percent of the person's annual salary. High turnover, lower-paying jobs (those under $30,000 a year) are slightly less expensive to replace, at only 16 percent of annual salary, but that still adds up quickly. Knee jerk hiring decisions coupled with poor search and interview systems have plagued dentists for decades. Not only is turnover and/or poor hiring decisions financially burdensome the impact can be just as devastating to your team and patients. Systems begin to fail, patients fall through the cracks and your business suffers. What is the solution? Gone are the days of posting an ad and getting 80 resumes to sift through. You will only be meeting with candidates who have been thoroughly screened and qualified by interviewing experts at Dental Team Finder. As dental team recruiters, we are skilled at asking the right questions to make sure that you know more about the candidates you meet BEFORE you meet them than you would after spending an hour interviewing a complete stranger. With references from previous employers harder and harder to obtain, we probe every situation as carefully as possible, run background checks and complete a 3-step interview process prior to recommending a candidate for a skills assessment in your office. We aren’t just a job board. We are constantly sourcing talent and have therefore created vast networks and pools of candidates allowing us to fill positions more quickly and efficiently, freeing you and your team up to do the productive things that keep your business thriving. Our passion is in helping people. Our goal is to remove the stress associated with time consuming hiring processes and to prevent knee jerk hiring mistakes. We have over 70 years combined experience in the dental industry and realize one of the most costly mistakes a dentist can make is in poor hiring decisions. At stake: time, energy, money, patients and, in some cases, your best team members. We understand the value of your time, money and patients. Let us use our talent and resources to partner you with the best and most qualified people. Remember, you are only as good as the team you lead. 24 NORTH TEXAS DENTISTRY | www.northtexasdentistry.com Randa O’Connor & Keith McLachlan DTF Co-owners
