Finding the right talent for your eye care practice can feel daunting. Many hiring managers have tried platforms like Indeed to find the best candidates, only to face various frustrations. While Indeed is not necessarily a bad job board, it can cause a headache with the extra work involved. This post outlines five key reasons we moved away from sites like Indeed and shows how partnering with Eyetastic Services can enhance your hiring experience, saving you time and money.
Applicants Are Not Always Great
One of the biggest challenges is the inconsistent quality of applicants. Hiring managers report receiving resumes from candidates who did not meet the basic qualifications for the role. While Indeed offers a large pool of candidates and has worked hard to overcome this challenge, many applicants lack the specialized skills needed for eye care.
With Eyetastic Services, you can access a pre-screened pool of candidates tailored to your needs. For example, if you are looking for technicians, Eyetastic Services focuses on candidates with the necessary credentials (including the much-needed soft skills for this position), enabling you to spend 90% less time sorting through unqualified resumes and more time meeting with skilled applicants.
Costs Too Much to Be Seen
Advertising positions on job platforms can be costly, especially when practices need to fill multiple roles. The costs can accumulate quickly, especially when considering fees for job postings and the hours lost managing the hiring process. For instance, practices might spend anywhere from $200 to $1,000 per posting, depending on location and job level.
Eyetastic Services operates on a more cost-effective fee structure. By utilizing their recruitment expertise, practices can cut hiring expenses by at least 30% compared to traditional job postings, wasted hours sifting through resumes, and time spent on phone screening while benefiting from personalized recruitment support.
High Competition for Candidates
The competition in the job market, particularly in specialized fields like eye care, is fierce. Practices have reported losing qualified candidates to competing offers in the past year. Even if you attract strong talent through the job boards, candidates often slip through the cracks in the crowded market.
Eyetastic Services has established industry connections that give you an edge. They actively engage with top talent before other practices even make their move. We sell your position to candidates and work hand-in-hand to ensure succession. This proactive engagement ensures you get early access to candidates who fit your specialized needs, enhancing your chances of hiring top-tier talent.
Lots of No-Shows
Dealing with no-shows during the interview process can significantly waste time and resources. Most candidates who apply through platforms like Indeed fail to attend interviews, often due to low engagement after submitting their applications.
When working with Eyetastic Services, candidates feel more valued and engaged throughout the recruiting process. Their focus on communication and follow-up generates genuine interest from candidates, leading to a reduction in no-shows. This results in a more effective and less frustrating interview process.
Not Geared Towards Employers
Job boards primarily focus on job seekers, leaving hiring managers feeling unsupported. This often leads to frustration when finding practical tools for assessing candidates efficiently. Many employers reported feeling overwhelmed, noting that user experience is not optimized for their needs.
Eyetastic Services puts employers first. They work closely with your practice to understand your requirements, allowing them to customize the recruitment process to fit your culture and values. This tailored approach can reduce turnaround time for hiring, ensuring you find candidates who genuinely fit your team's vision.
Final Thoughts
The hiring landscape for eye care professionals is changing. Recognizing the limitations of platforms like Indeed and opting for a more customized recruitment approach can profoundly impact your ability to secure top talent. By partnering with Eyetastic Services, you can streamline your hiring process, engage qualified candidates, and ultimately build a stronger team.
Investing in specialized recruiting enhances the quality of your applicants and makes your hiring workflow smoother and more effective. Take the leap with Eyetastic Services and watch your practice thrive with the right people on your team.
