Our goal at Lengea is to provide our clients with the best resources to help them grow and withstand their business. One of our most frequently asked questions from our clients looking to open a medical spa is how to go about finding and training their injectors.
To start, there are several recruiting sites where your medical spa can post job ads. Some of these sites include AmSpa’s job board, Indeed, Simply Hired, Monster, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. Also some sites have free listings and others have fees for posting, so the ones you use might depend on your budget.
After finding and hiring qualified candidates, your medical spa is ready to provide training for your employees. Here are some companies that provide aesthetic training:
