Dr. Duncan explains the importance of constantly searching for quality employees regardless of need, cautioning against allowing desperation to influence hiring decisions. Beginning with the initial job posting, she outlines the successive stages of the hiring funnel and discusses the significance of each step, all of which are designed to ensure that the applicant demonstrates attention to detail, the ability to follow instructions, and good people skills. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Duncan stresses the importance of following each step of the hiring funnel as closely as possible so that your office is able to filter out unsuitable candidates and to successfully identify quality ones. She also emphasizes the value of nurturing existing staff and cultivating a supportive work culture. The episode ends with a discussion about how long the hiring process lasts and the importance of transparency between job seekers and those who make hiring decisions.

TAKEAWAYS:
