Recruiting A Hygienist

Question:

We are looking to recruit a new hygienist and I would be very grateful for any pointers and advice on what others have found to be the most effective places to advertise, or any particularly effective recruitment agencies.

Answer:

We had to recruit two hygienists recently and we got the best responses by advertising for free on Gumtree.

Answer:

We have found BDJ the best, as agency fees are around £1500 for part-time.

Answer:

Hi, we found our new hygienist by getting details from the GDC website of hygienist living locally to our practice and writing to them directly.

Answer:

I have found the best magazine to advetise in is the Hygeinist/Therapist association magazine. They advertise one month on line and the next month in their magazine. I also contacted the local universities where the courses were held.

Answer:

Ask your local reps if they know of any, otherwise Brown's but they charge

Answer:

We always go with BSDHT. 01452 886365 or enquiries@bsdht.org.uk. Adverts go online straight away I think, plus the next magazine.

I once tried the local newspaper, but it was a waste of time. Any hygienist or therapist looking for work will check out their official organisation's site.
