The 4R Hiring Kit for orthodontic practices
Your kit is ready. 16 ortho roles, each with the 4R, six interview questions, a 90-day training plan and a job post. Start with the seat you have filled the most times.
Most job posts describe a title and stop. So you hire someone who interviews great, and 60 days later you find out they can’t do the job. The 4R defines all four, so you hire for results.
Three moves. You can make all three before you post your next job.
Every role comes as a designed PDF and an editable Word doc. Fill in the brackets and it is ready to post.
