How can healthcare practices improve their hiring processes to ensure long-term success? 
In this episode, Dr. Michael Neal discusses innovative hiring strategies with host Dr. Bradley Block. Dr. Neal explains that traditional hiring based on instinct often results in poor outcomes, as healthcare professionals prioritize empathy over suitability. His system identifies candidates’ natural strengths and talents through psychometric testing, automated screening, and video interviews, ensuring a 97% success rate.

Dr. Neal’s process avoids resumes and instead evaluates applicants on learning speed, stress management, and communication. He also highlights the importance of swift hiring decisions to secure high-performing candidates ("A players"). He advises removing underperformers ("C players") and matching roles to individuals’ strengths for staff retention.
