Hiring and Retaining Talented Team Members-- Alec Broadfoot

One of the most common issue chiropractors bring up to me is talent acquisition, hiring, onboarding and firing. It is a difficult process, and especially in 2022. Many companies have entire HR departments with highly specialized people to manage all of this, and we as small business owners are expected to do it effectively. 

 

In this episode, I interview Alec Broadfoot from VisionSpark.  VisionSpark is dedicated to transforming entrepreneurial companies through our unique tools and approach, ensuring “the right people are in the right seats.”

 

Through VisionSpark, Alec engages mid-market companies across the country in hiring training, key leader searches, behavioral interviewing, and personality assessments. He has become a trusted, sought-after resource for business owners and leaders who want to improve their hiring practices and employ top performers. Having established himself as a strategic hiring expert in Columbus and across the Midwest, Alec frequently gives presentations on better hiring processes.

 

We have a wide-ranging conversation, and we touch on the following items: 

  • Talent Acquisition

  • Hiring Processes

  • Hiring Assessments

  • Compensation thoughts

  • Onboarding Concepts

  • Much more!

 

I admittedly used to be terrible at hiring. It was the office joke because every time I offered someone the position, they would either flake right away, but so bad early on we had to let them go, or they would not accept the position. The second person that took the position (who I had turned down) ended up being great. I ended up placing a lot of emphasis on getting better at talent acquisition, hiring and training, and it has helped exponentially grow our practice. 

 

Alec has also been kind enough to give you a free assessment tool for your hiring candidates. Please see the information below:
