Where did all the good hygienists go? You may be asking yourself this question, but the truth is they're out there. They're just choosing someone else.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to become the office people want to work at (and stay). The DPH coaches share how one of them out-recruited six offices for a single hygienist, why your job posting is costing you good candidates, and the interview red flags you can’t ignore — even when you're desperate.

Topics discussed:

(00:00) Introduction

(12:25) Write an ad that stands out

(14:05) Get ahead of turnover before it hits

(19:02) Why you should involve your team

(20:15) Interview questions that assess culture fit

(23:45) Qualities that matter most in a hire
