FAQ

When should I start hiring for a new clinic?

Doctors and other licensed staff 3-4 months before opening, because DHA licensing and licence transfer take time. Non-licensed staff 2-6 weeks before.

Can you hire the whole team?

Yes, from one role to the full opening team. Our fee is one month's salary of the placed employee: 50% when they start and 50% after probation. No full prepayment, and a free replacement within 2 months.

Who should I hire first?

The medical director or salon manager, then the hardest licensed roles.
