Most dental practices don’t lose money on recruiting.
They lose it in the first 90 days after a hire starts.

In this episode, we break down the $103,000 hiring mistake most dental offices make and show you how to stop the bleeding by fixing onboarding, not hiring faster.

You’ll learn:

• Why the first 90 days are the most expensive part of hiring

• How to calculate your true onboarding ramp cost per role

• What “activation” actually means for assistants, hygienists, and front desk staff

• How to design a simple 30/60/90 plan that gets new hires productive faster

• The exact metrics you should track to cut early turnover in half

If you’re hiring dental assistants, hygienists, or front desk staff and wondering why productivity lags or new hires don’t stick, this episode gives you the framework to fix it.

Hiring isn’t broken. Slow activation is.

Use this episode to turn onboarding into a repeatable system that reduces turnover, speeds up productivity, and increases profit per hire.

Are you tired of "Desperation Hiring"? Most dentists think a new hire costs a few thousand dollars in job board fees. They’re wrong. When you factor in lost production, ramp-up time, and turnover, a single empty chair is a six-figure leak in your practice.

In this podcast, I’m breaking down the "Talent Machine" the exact framework we use at Bonded to treat recruiting like patient acquisition. If you want to stop chasing "unicorns" and start building a predictable funnel of high-performing talent, this is for you.
