Hiring does not have to be tough or scary, if you know what you are doing. There is not one magical, sure-fire way for employers to know they have found the perfect candidate.
However, understanding and putting in place one or more of these methods will help you weed through the larger pool of candidates that interviewed well but may not ultimately be the right person for the job.
First impressions are powerful. Much of the information you gain during an interview is based on nonverbal communication: posture, eye contact, facial expressions etc. However, it is wise to mix in some calculated judgments. What does your initial glance tell you? Take a good look at your potential new hire. Is he or she put together well? Or are you dealing with someone who just rolled out of bed? Do they appear to take good care of clothes and other belongings? Would he or she match the culture of YOUR office?
Dental managers and owners invest a great deal of time and money in making sure that their office equipment is well-maintained and up to current standards. But many practices overlook the importance of maintaining an even more important resource: their team.
