Eyecare Technician Recruitment Toolkit
Eyecare Technician Recruitment Toolkit: Jumpstart the Technician Recruitment Process
In today’s rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, the task of recruiting, hiring, and onboarding new employees has become increasingly complex. Practices report a lack of qualified candidates, requests for ever-higher base wages, and difficulties finding the time to train new hires. At VMG Health, we want to empower your technician recruiting process. Our Technician Recruitment Toolkit, developed in conjunction with the American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators (ASOA), helps eyecare professionals with various elements of the technician recruitment process.
You can use elements of our toolkit in whole or in part to jumpstart a recruitment process, augment current efforts, and identify key areas of opportunity to think even more creatively about attracting top talent in today’s marketplace.
