How to Use Social Media to Attract Top Talent to Your Clinic

Let’s face it—attracting top talent to your clinic isn’t just about offering a great salary anymore. Today’s best physiotherapists, RMTs, chiropractors, and clinic coordinators want more than a paycheck. They’re looking for purpose, culture, and a place they actually enjoy going to every day.

So where do you find these people?

Where they’re already hanging out—on social media.

Whether they’re scrolling Instagram between clients, checking LinkedIn over coffee, or watching Reels during lunch, your next dream hire is out there. You just have to show them why your clinic is the place to be.

Here’s how to use social media to not just recruit—but actually attract the right people to your team.

Why Social Media Works for Hiring (When Done Right)

The hiring landscape has shifted. People don’t want to just apply cold—they want to feel a connection before they even send a message.

Social media lets you:

  • Show your clinic’s personality and culture
  • Reach passive candidates who aren’t job-hunting (yet)
  • Start real conversations—not just collect resumes

In short, social isn’t just for marketing to patients anymore—it’s one of your best recruiting tools.

Where to Focus: Platform Breakdown

📸 Instagram

Instagram is your culture showcase. It’s where people fall in love with your clinic vibe.

Share:

  • Behind-the-scenes of your team at work (or having fun!)
  • Team spotlights (“Meet our RMT, Sam!”)
  • Reels about clinic life, mentorship, or why people love working with you
  • Quick hiring posts that feel personal, not corporate

Example:

“We’re growing! Looking for a passionate physiotherapist who loves movement, mentorship, and coffee breaks with a fun crew ☕💪 DM us!”

🟦 Facebook

Still great for reaching local professionals and groups.

Try:

  • Posting in local job or healthcare groups
  • Sharing your hiring post on your business page and personal page
  • Going live to talk about clinic culture, current openings, or Q&A sessions

Boost your post with a small ad spend ($25–50) to make sure the right people see it.

💼 LinkedIn

Perfect for connecting with professionals and more experienced talent.

Use it to:

  • Post about new job openings and growth plans
  • Share posts from current team members about what they love at your clinic
  • Highlight continuing education, mentorship, or leadership opportunities

And don’t forget to connect and message people directly if they’re sharing content you admire!

What to Share (That Actually Attracts People)

Let’s be real: the best talent doesn’t apply because of a bulleted list of job duties.

They apply because they see:

  • A team they want to be part of
  • A place where they can grow
  • A culture that actually looks enjoyable

Here’s what to post:

  • Day-in-the-life videos or Reels from your staff
  • Clinic wins (big and small)
  • Honest “we’re hiring” posts that sound like you wrote them, not HR

Example:

“Looking for a chill, motivated chiro who loves their craft and wants to be part of a supportive, growing team. We laugh a lot, learn even more, and treat each other like humans first. Sound like your vibe? DM us 👇”

Use Stories and DMs to Connect

This is where the real conversations start.

Use Instagram Stories to:

  • Share open roles (frequently, not just once!)
  • Ask polls like “Are you a physio?” or “Looking for a new clinic home?”
  • Show real-time team moments, events, and culture

And when someone responds? Slide into their DMs. Casually.

“Hey! Thanks for checking out our post. Are you in the field?”

You never know where a simple message can lead.

Final Thoughts

Attracting great talent isn’t about casting a wide net. It’s about putting your authentic culture out there so the right people come to you.

Social media lets you be seen, build trust, and start conversations that feel natural. When done well, it’s not just about hiring—it’s about building a team that truly fits your clinic.

So grab your phone, hit record, and let the world see what makes your clinic different. The right people are out there—and they’re already scrolling.
