The Benefits of a Practice Visit: How Personalised Recruitment Can Transform Your Hiring Process
In today's fast-paced recruitment landscape, finding the right person can be a challenging and time-consuming process, especially in specialised fields like dentistry. That's where a personalised approach to recruitment comes in. A practice visit—where a recruitment consultant visits your workplace and offers a unique opportunity to align your hiring needs with the perfect candidates. By visiting your practice in person, we gain invaluable insights that allow us to tailor the recruitment process and match you with the ideal fit. Below, we explore the benefits of scheduling a practice visit and how it can significantly enhance the recruitment process.
1. Free Consultation: No Cost, No Obligation
Our practice visit comes at no cost to you, providing a risk-free opportunity to see how we can help meet your hiring needs. Whether you're looking to fill a current vacancy or simply preparing for future hires, the visit gives you an upfront, no-obligation consultation that is focused solely on understanding your practice and its unique requirements.
2. Stay Prepared: Don’t Wait Until You Have a Vacancy
One of the smartest ways to streamline the recruitment process is by meeting with a consultant before you have an urgent need. By scheduling a practice visit ahead of time, you allow us to get a clear understanding of your team, your culture, and your practice's operational flow. When the time comes to fill a position, we’ll already be familiar with your needs, speeding up the process and saving you time and effort when you need it most.
3. Finding the Right Personality Fit
In dentistry, as in many professions, a candidate’s personality can be just as important as their skills. Hiring someone who doesn’t mesh well with your team’s dynamics can have negative, long-lasting consequences. During our practice visit, we assess your team’s personality traits and culture, so we can identify candidates who fit not just the job description but also your team environment. This minimises the risk of hiring the wrong person and ensures a harmonious workplace.
4. Quality Over Quantity: We Send No More Than 3 CVs
Unlike other recruitment agencies that may overwhelm you with resumes, we prioritise quality over quantity. After visiting your practice and understanding your specific needs, we aim to send no more than three CVs for any open position. Whether it’s a specialist, dental nurse, or office staff, we only submit candidates we believe have a strong chance of securing a second interview, if not the job itself. This careful, selective approach saves you time and ensures that every candidate we present is worth your consideration.
5. Trust: Job Seekers Prefer Practices We’ve Visited
Job seekers trust us more when we submit their CVs to practices we’ve visited in person. Why? Because they know we’ve seen the workplace firsthand and have a real understanding of what the environment is like, from the layout and equipment to the culture and work dynamics. This level of trust often encourages high-quality candidates to apply, knowing we have a deep understanding of the practices we recommend.
6. Discover New Insights: Uncovering the Full Picture
Job descriptions are often missing crucial details that can make a big difference in the recruitment process. During a practice visit, we ask the questions you might not have thought of and uncover insights that could be essential for finding the right candidate. For example, we learn about workflow specifics, equipment needs, and team structure, which can all influence which candidates are the best fit. These details might not always be apparent in a standard job description but can be pivotal in matching the right person to the role.
7. In-Depth Understanding: From Layout to Commute
Visiting your practice gives us a full picture of how your operations run. We take note of everything from the layout of the office to the equipment your team uses and even details like parking availability or the local commute. Marguerite, our Founder and Director, personally handles these visits and ensures no stone is left unturned. Knowing these logistical details helps us present a realistic view of the position to job seekers, increasing their confidence in the role and your practice.
