Dental recruitment & onboarding training in Ontario
Recruitment and onboarding are two halves of the same job. Skip either one and the other one collapses.
Source the right candidates
Job descriptions should describe the actual role, not a templated wishlist. Verify RCDSO/CDHO licensing and IPAC training during screening, not after offer.
Screen for fit
Pre-screening interviews surface clinical experience, communication style, and culture fit. References go beyond verification when asked properly.
Onboard intentionally
Day one matters. Structured 30-60-90 day plans, IPAC orientation, software training, and clear performance expectations all set up retention.
Train continuously
Compliance renewals, CE, and at least one growth opportunity per year keep staff engaged and qualified.
