title: Practice management tips. Hiring: prepare for the best.
abstract: A great deal of preparation, time, and expertise are needed to find a good staff member. Remember to be clear about your expectations and formalize your requirements with a written job description. If you plan to run a classified ad, be sure to write one that stands out from the rest. Conduct exceptional interviews that allow applicants to be themselves and demonstrate their abilities. Don't take any shortcuts. Check references, conduct working interviews, and provide training with positive feedback. Your investment of both finances and time will be rewarded when you choose and hire a highly qualified employee who will be able to contribute to the success of your practice.
