Tell me if this story fits with your experience!
In the last week, I’ve spoken with 150 different dentists and office managers about their open job postings. Here’s a typical conversation:
Indigo: How long has your job posting been open?
Dentist: 5 months.
Indigo: What are you looking for in a potential hire?
Dentist: I need someone with 5+ years of experience, who’s a great fit with my team, and can immediately add value.
Indigo: So how likely do you think you’ll actually find that with your posting on Indeed?
Dentist: Actually, now that I’m thinking about it, probably zero. But I’m holding out hope that I’ll get lucky.
Here's where Indigo steps in. We help you break the cycle of long-open job postings and fingers-crossed hiring practices.
1. Finding the Right People
Indigo recruits and trains new dental assistants, bringing a whole new group of potential candidates to you. We vet and prepare these candidates, dramatically reducing the time it takes to bring a new hire on board.
2. Day-One Readiness
We understand that dentists look for assistants with 5+ years of experience because they need immediate productivity. Our shortcut? We collaborate with employers to identify specific onboarding needs and address them before the hire starts. This superior level of training ensures that new hires meet your office's actual needs, allowing you to focus on your patients instead of training new staff.
3. Retention Incentives
Perhaps the biggest difference between hiring through a job site and hiring with Indigo is our financial incentive structure for new hires. We establish a tuition reimbursement plan with the employer that costs you very little but creates a significant incentive for your new hire to stay. This approach minimizes turnover and maximizes productivity, eliminating the constant churn of new staff.
