Wonderlic, Inc. Launches ASAP for Orthodontists™, A Web-Based Solution That Helps Orthodontists Hire Capable, Service-Oriented Employee

ASAP for Orthodontists Reduces the Time, Cost and Uncertainty Associated with Traditional, Outdated Orthodontic Office Staffing Practices

Charleston, SC – November 3, 2009 – Wonderlic, Inc., a recognized leader in the development of recruiting, assessment and retention solutions, today announced the launch of ASAP for Orthodontists™, its Automated Staff Acquisition Platform that helps orthodontists hire talented employees in less time and with less effort. Specifically developed for the positions found within a orthodontic practice, ASAP for Orthodontists is a practical, web-based solution that seamlessly gathers candidate information, objectively evaluates skills and abilities, and presents the results in an easy-to-understand format that allows orthodontists to quickly compare candidates and select the top few to bring in for interviews. ASAP for Orthodontists reduces the amount of time orthodontists will spend interviewing candidates by as much as 75%, and produces significantly better results than interviews alone.

ASAP for Orthodontists includes an online job board, branded for each practice, that allows candidates to apply for positions 24 X 7. It guides applicants step-by-step through the entire application process, gathering critical, job-related information in a consistent, legally defensible manner. It also assesses applicants’ skills and abilities based on the specific job for which they are applying.

"Wonderlic is a terrific resource to help us find the right employees for our practice. The testing is all done automatically online, saving us lots of time in not having to deal with unqualified candidates," said Tammie Keefer, office manager at Dietrich Dental Services in Port Charlotte, Florida. "They even provide the questions for us to ask once we start interviewing. A big help."

"We have been using Wonderlic to find the ideal candidates for open positions in our practice," said Camille Becker, office manager for Libertyville Dental Associates in Libertyville, Illinois. "The time savings is well worth using their services. Having prospective candidates pre-screened helps to make a more informed decision in the hiring process. The ease of use with the program, along with the immediate feedback, helps in choosing candidates who will hopefully become a valued member of your practice."

Based on decades of research, Wonderlic is keenly aware of the attributes required for each position within an orthodontic practice and has incorporated this knowledge into a solution that is as technologically advanced as it is practical and effective. The service is turnkey and all inclusive, with pre-defined selection criteria and process for each position, including job-specific applications, assessments and interview guides for the following positions:

• Orthodontist
• Orthodontic Assistant
• Orthodontic Laboratory Technician
• Office Manager
• Insurance Clerk
• Receptionist

What separates ASAP for Orthodontists from other online alternatives is the focus on collecting relevant, job-specific information in a simple and pragmatic manner that involves virtually no set up on behalf of the orthodontist or office staff. As a turnkey solution, ASAP for Orthodontists can be up and running almost immediately.  

 "We spoke with one orthodontic practice that received an astonishing 138 applications for a front-desk position, creating an enormous burden just to do a cursory review and toss out the ones that didn’t meet the minimum requirements," said Wonderlic Market Manager Thomas S. Dittrich. "ASAP for Orthodontists streamlines the process and lets orthodontists quickly determine which candidates are most likely to succeed before making the first phone call."
