223 - Audiology Employment Trends: What Job Seekers and Clinic Owners Need to Know


Listen Later

Host Dave Kemp sits down with Shadi Chakoutahi, the owner of Staffing Proxy, to discuss the current state of the employment market within the audiology sector. Shadi, whose firm specializes in recruiting and HR within hearing health, shares insights from her daily interactions with both prospective employees and employers. She highlights the challenges and trends in the market, such as generational differences in job expectations and the increasing demand for comprehensive roles that go beyond traditional hearing aid dispensing.

Shadi emphasizes the importance of employers adapting to these changes by offering competitive compensation, opportunities for professional growth, and unique value propositions to attract and retain talent.
The discussion also touches on the shifting dynamics in the job market, with more job openings than qualified candidates, giving employees significant leverage. Shadi provides data on the movement of audiologists across states and the varying tenure rates depending on the type of audiology practice. She notes that practices offering a broader scope of services tend to retain employees longer. Shadi advises employers to clearly define and communicate what sets their practice apart and to invest in their employees' growth and satisfaction to build a loyal and effective workforce.
