Hiring without a clear candidate profile is like treating without a diagnosis—costly guesswork that leads to mis-hires. In this Private Practice Survival Guide quick-tips episode, Brandon Seigel shows you how to differentiate job postings from job descriptions, write an anti-job description that polarizes the right fit, and build a data-driven candidate scorecard from your top performers. You’ll also learn how to avoid common hiring biases, spot interview red flags, and design a 30-60-90 onboarding plan that sticks. Plus, discover why realistic job previews reduce early turnover and how to embed responsiveness, transparency, and integrity into every step of your hiring process.

What You'll Learn:

  • The difference between job postings (attract/repel) and job descriptions (accountability)
  • How to write an anti-job description and flip negatives into must-have behaviors
  • Key hiring stats and the mindset shift from gut feel to structured, scorecard-based decisions
  • How to reverse-engineer top performers into non-negotiables and strong signals
  • Behavioral interview questions that work—and red flags to watch for
  • A 30-60-90 onboarding blueprint with day-one independent actions and weekly check-ins
  • Why realistic job previews cut early turnover and strengthen culture fit

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start hiring with clarity, this episode gives you the frameworks and questions to build a resilient, high-accountability team.
