Are you a chiropractic clinic owner or hiring manager looking to attract top talent? The chiropractic job market is booming, and offering the right benefits and perks are crucial to drawing the best candidates for your clinic, whether locally or nationally. At ChiroJobs, we understand the competitive nature of the industry, and we’re here to help you find the right fit for your clinic.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 12% increase in chiropractic job growth from 2016 to 2026—much higher than the average for all professions, which is 7%. With so many chiropractors entering the job market, it’s important to offer competitive packages to ensure your job offer stands out.
What Chiropractic Job Seekers Value Most
We recently surveyed registered chiropractors applying for permanent positions, and while a competitive salary is essential (with the average U.S. associate salary sitting around $64,300), candidates are also looking for a range of benefits that support their professional and personal well-being. Here’s what they are seeking:
- Paid Malpractice Insurance
- Paid Health Insurance
- Future Partnership Buy-In
- Paid Vacation Days (at least one week in the first year)
- Work-Life Balance (flexible schedules and weekends off)
- Bonuses and Profit-Sharing Opportunities
The Millennial Chiropractor
With many chiropractors practicing for 8–10 years now part of the Millennial generation (born between 1982–2004), workplace culture has become just as important as financial compensation. Millennials are prioritizing meaningful work, corporate responsibility, and a culture that aligns with their values. This shift is changing the way chiropractic clinics attract and retain talent.
Why Culture Matters
The right cultural fit is essential for long-term success in chiropractic teams. When hiring, consider the atmosphere and dynamics within your team. Are you open to new ideas and collaboration? Do you foster a welcoming environment for both staff and patients?
During the interview process, ask candidates what their ideal work environment looks like. This will help you understand if they align with your team’s values and culture. Don’t hesitate to conduct multiple interviews or offer the candidate an opportunity to shadow you and interact with your team and patients. This firsthand experience will give both you and the candidate a clearer picture of whether the position is a good match.
Taking Your Time to Hire the Right Candidate
While it may be tempting to rush the hiring process, finding the right chiropractic associate is worth the time and effort. Chiropractic staffing agencies, like ChiroJobs, can help streamline the search for qualified candidates, providing expert insight and access to a broader talent pool.
