Finding a great chiropractic associate is harder than ever. With more clinics expanding and more chiropractors seeking alignment not just a paycheck your job offer needs to stand out to attract the right person.
Whether you’re replacing a long-time team member or scaling to meet demand, here are five proven strategies to attract, impress, and hire top-tier chiropractic professionals.
1. Write Clear, Honest Job Ads
Top candidates won’t waste time applying for vague or cookie-cutter listings. If your ad lacks clarity, it might be overlooked—or worse, attract applicants who aren’t a fit.
Be transparent about:
- Daily patient volume and scheduling pace
- Adjusting techniques preferred or required (e.g., Diversified, Gonstead, Activator)
- Compensation details (base pay, bonuses, revenue splits)
- Practice philosophy and clinic culture (wellness, sports, family care, etc.)
- Growth opportunities, such as mentorship or ownership track
A strong job ad sets expectations and attracts chiropractors who align with your clinic’s mission.
Check out this example title:
“$85K Base + Mentorship | Sports-Focused Clinic | Buy-In Opportunity in Charlotte”
2. Offer Competitive Pay + Perks
Salary matters, but top candidates are looking at the full compensation package—and how much you value them as a professional.
Consider adding:
- Continuing education (CE) stipends
- Relocation assistance or housing support
- Sign-on bonuses for immediate hires
- Paid malpractice insurance
- Performance-based bonuses or revenue shares
- Flexible scheduling or wellness time
Clinics offering structured mentorship, paid CE, and growth pathways are far more likely to land A-players.
If you’re unsure what’s competitive in your area, browse listings on ChiroJobs.com to see what other clinics are offering.
3. Showcase Your Clinic’s Culture
Culture sells. People want to join a team that fits their personality and values.
Don’t just tell show.
Ideas to bring your culture to life:
- Include photos or videos of your team in action
- Share a quote from the owner or team
- Highlight what makes your practice unique (e.g., Friday lunches, mentorship, retreats)
- Describe your clinic values (e.g., growth, service, integrity, teamwork)
“We’re a collaborative, growth-minded team who adjusts with heart and leads with integrity. Weekly team huddles and monthly CE roundtables keep us learning together.”
A culture-forward job post helps potential hires picture themselves thriving in your practice.
4. Streamline the Interview Process
Great chiropractors are busy and often fielding multiple offers. A slow or disorganized hiring process can cost you top talent.
Make it easy to say yes:
- Respond to applications quickly (ideally within 48 hours)
- Use a structured but efficient interview process: initial Zoom call → in-person working interview
- Be clear about the next steps and timeline
- Offer transparency about licensing needs, timelines, and onboarding
Following up professionally and promptly shows candidates that you run an organized, respectful clinic.
5. Post on Niche Job Boards (Like ChiroJobs.com)
Generic platforms like Indeed or ZipRecruiter may list chiropractic roles, but they often miss your ideal audience.
Why niche boards work better:
- Reach licensed chiropractors and DC students actively job searching
- Filter by state license, technique, specialty, and salary
- Your ad appears alongside relevant, targeted roles, not dental hygienist or PT listings
ChiroJobs.com offers one of the most focused ways to connect with chiropractors who are already looking for their next great fit.
