Hiring Assessment Tool for Associates

In this solo episode of Modern Chiropractic Mastery, Dr. Kevin Christie discusses an essential assessment tool for hiring associate chiropractors.

 

Dr. Christie delves into the Talent Impact Profile (TIP), provided by VisionSpark, and explains its significance in identifying the best fit for associate roles. He outlines the challenges in finding compatible owner-associate dynamics and categorizes chiropractors into three types: clinicians, builders, and entrepreneurs.

 

Dr. Christie emphasizes the importance of a meticulous hiring process, which should include evaluations like the TIP and the Kolbe assessment to measure cognitive, affective, and conative traits. Additionally, he stresses a four-phase approach to building a great team: talent acquisition, a comprehensive hiring process, thorough onboarding, and continuous training using the 'constant gentle pressure' method.

 

This episode is a guide for practice owners to hire effectively and develop a productive, well-integrated team.
