A Simple Chiropractic Job Advert Checklist
Before deciding your vacancy "isn't working", check the following:
- Is the remuneration competitive?
- Have you included meaningful salary or earnings information?
- Is your strongest selling point obvious?
- Have you explained the patient opportunity?
- Is mentorship specific rather than vague?
- Are your candidate requirements realistic?
- Have you explained the working hours?
- Have you sold the location?
- Is there clear career progression?
- Is the application process simple?
- Are you responding to applicants quickly?
- Is the advert reaching chiropractors rather than a general audience?
- Does your online presence support the claims in your advert?
- Have you given the advert enough time?
- Are you promoting the vacancy across the right channels?
If several of those answers are no, you probably have opportunities to improve the performance of your vacancy.
Sometimes Your Advert Simply Needs Greater Exposure
Even an excellent job advert can't generate applications if the right chiropractors don't see it.
This is particularly relevant when:
- The location is difficult to recruit for
- The local candidate pool is small
- You require a chiropractor with specific experience
- International relocation may be required
- Your vacancy is competing against numerous other opportunities
At that point, simply rewriting the advert may not be enough.
You need to consider where the vacancy is being advertised and whether it is reaching the right audience.
General job boards can generate large numbers of views, but those views aren't necessarily from chiropractors.
A specialist chiropractic job board gives employers the opportunity to place their vacancy in front of a much more relevant audience—people within the profession who are actively exploring chiropractic career opportunities.
You can also increase exposure by sharing the vacancy through:
- Your clinic's social media channels
- Your professional network
- Chiropractic colleges and universities
- Alumni networks
- Chiropractic associations
- Relevant professional groups and communities
- Your clinic website
- Your existing team
The objective isn't simply to get your vacancy in front of more people.
It's to get it in front of more chiropractors.
Don't Just Ask "Why Aren't We Getting Applications?"
Ask a better question:
"Why would the chiropractor we want choose this opportunity?"
If you can answer that clearly, communicate it effectively and put the opportunity in front of the right audience, your chances of attracting suitable candidates improve considerably.
And if you can't answer it clearly, that is where you should start.
Because successful chiropractic hiring isn't simply about finding more chiropractors.
It's about creating the right opportunity, communicating it properly and getting it in front of the right people.
