Why Hire for Fit
Stop hiring on hope.
Most good hires are won or lost in the first ninety days, not at the interview. Hire for Fit gives you a simple, four-step way to attract people who fit your practice, and then keep them, so you're not back on the job boards in three months' time.
"I used to end up lowering my standards because that was what was available. We rewrote the advert around the kind of person we actually wanted, and now I've recruited two nurses, one of them my new lead nurse, I've got three hygienists interested, and I've had to turn a good nurse away."Vrajesh RupareliaPrincipal, Tewkesbury Dental
What changes
What it looks like when it's working
The right people apply
Your advert talks to the person you want, and quietly puts off the ones you don't.
You see who they really are
An interview built for fit and attitude, not just a polished CV.
They still turn up
No more good candidates going cold between "yes" and their first day.
They're still here at ninety days
A first fortnight and first three months that make people want to stay.
The four steps
One step at a time, with a tool for each
1
The Advert
Write an advert that sounds like your practice, not a list of duties, so the people who apply already share how you work.
Includes the Culture-First Advert Template and a Digital Presence Audit, because candidates look you up before they apply.
2
The Interview
Questions and a short practical task that show you values, attitude and how someone copes under pressure, with a scorecard agreed before they walk in.
Includes the Fit Interview Pack.
3
The Interim
The gap between "yes" and day one is where good hires quietly go cold. A simple keep-warm plan means they arrive already feeling part of the team.
The part almost nobody plans for, and one of the biggest wins in the course.
4
The Induction
A first day, first fortnight and first ninety days built around belonging before responsibility, with the check-ins already in the diary.
Includes The 90-Day Induction Plan.

It's for you if
you're a practice owner or manager who's had enough of expensive wrong hires and good people leaving early, and you'd like a way of recruiting that you can use every time.
It isn't for you if
you're after a job-board hack or a quick fix for this week's gap. This is about people who fit and stay, and it takes an afternoon to learn and a little care to use.
Who's teaching it

I'm a qualified teacher who's spent twenty-five years working in and alongside dentistry, and I help practices build teams that run the practice. Hire for Fit is the same approach I use with my coaching clients, set out step by step so you can do it yourself.
