The Benefits of a Practice Visit: How a Personal Touch Can Transform Your Hiring
Finding the right person for your dental team isn’t always easy - especially when you’re juggling a busy practice. That’s where a personal approach makes all the difference. When Marguerite, our Director and Recruiter, visits your practice in person, it’s not just a chat - it’s a chance to really understand your team and how we can help you find someone who fits in perfectly.
Here’s how a practice visit can make your hiring process smoother, faster, and more successful:
1. It’s Free – No Strings Attached
There’s no cost and no pressure. Whether you’re actively hiring or just thinking ahead, Marguerite will come out to your practice for a friendly, no-obligation visit. It’s a chance to talk through your needs and see how we can support you - now or in the future.
2. Be Ready Before You Need to Hire
The best time to plan for recruitment isn’t when you’re already short-staffed. By meeting in advance, Marguerite gets to know your team, your setup, and how your practice runs. That way, when a vacancy does come up, we’re ready to hit the ground running.
3. It’s Not Just About Skills - It’s About Personality
In a close-knit dental team, personality matters just as much as qualifications. During the visit, Marguerite takes time to understand your team’s vibe - who gets on with who, how you work together - so we can find someone who fits in naturally, not just on paper.
4. No CV Overload - Just the Right Ones
We don’t believe in flooding your inbox with CVs. After the visit, we’ll only send you up to three candidates we genuinely believe are a great match. Each one will be someone we’d be confident putting forward for a second interview - or even the job itself.
5. Candidates Trust Practices We’ve Seen
Job seekers feel more confident applying to practices we’ve visited. They know we’ve seen the place, met the team, and understand what the job really involves. That trust helps attract better candidates who are serious about the role.
6. We Spot the Details That Make a Difference
Sometimes the little things - like how your team handles lunch breaks or what software you use - can make or break a hire. During the visit, Marguerite asks the right questions and picks up on the details that don’t always make it into a job ad but are key to finding the right fit.
7. We Get the Full Picture - From Layout to Parking
From how your rooms are set up to where staff park, we take it all in. These practical details help us paint a realistic picture for candidates, so there are no surprises later. It’s all about setting clear expectations from the start.
8. Ireland’s Only Dedicated Dental Recruiter
With 16 years experience in dental recruitment, Marguerite is the only specialist in Ireland focused solely on this field. She knows the industry inside out and brings that expertise to every visit, helping you find not just a good candidate - but the right one.
9. It’s an Investment in Your Practice’s Future
When you invite us to visit, you’re not just filling a vacancy - you’re building a long-term recruitment strategy. We take the time to understand your goals and tailor everything to your practice. It’s about giving you peace of mind and confidence in every hire.
10. Bring Your Jobs to Life with Video - For Free!
IDJ have recently launched a new, completely free video service where we come to your practice and create short, engaging videos that showcase your team, your space, and what makes your practice special. These videos help bring your job ads to life and give candidates a real feel for what it’s like to work with you. Plus, you can use the videos on your own website and social media to promote your practice in a fresh, exciting way.
