The challenge
The long-term full-time receptionist for Sam’s practice is retiring and their boss, Catherine, will require them to hire several casual receptionists to fill the vacancy. Sam will need to run the recruiting process, organise their employment contracts and make sure the new staff are trained and onboarded effectively.
