A Different Way to Look at Hiring w/ Dino Watt

The Orthopreneurs Podcast with Dr. Glenn Krieger

Tired of constantly feeling short-staffed in your orthodontic practice? In today’s episode, I'm joined by Dr. Dino Watt, an expert consultant in the orthodontic world and a true advocate for getting your hiring process right.

Dino’s approach to hiring is anything but traditional, and as a practice owner, you need to hear this. He’s not just about hiring fast; he’s about hiring smart.

He shares the keys to slowing down your hiring process, avoiding bad hires, and ultimately building a team that works with you, not against you.

We chat about the struggles orthodontic practices face when it comes to hiring, because let’s face it, finding quality employees today is harder than ever.

Dino walks us through why the current hiring process is outdated and how small tweaks to your approach can make all the difference.

You’ll hear why slow and steady wins the race when it comes to hiring and why firing quickly is just as important.

If you’ve been stuck in the hiring rut or dealing with turnover, you’re going to want to listen to this one. It’s packed with practical tips on finding the right fit for your practice, building a lasting team culture, and making sure your team is there for the long haul.
