We Whiten
We Whiten was founded in 2020 on the belief that teeth whitening services should be accessible and simple. Our founder noticed a major gap within the existing dental industry – teeth whitening services were painful, priced incredibly high, and available only to some.
Now, we have 30+ teeth whitening studios located in 8 states and will soon be expanding into many more markets across the United States!
_______________________________________________________________________
We Whiten runs 25 cosmetic teeth whitening studios across Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and we're growing to 40 by 2028. Two things decide whether a studio wins: the market it's in and the person running it. We pick the markets. You make sure every studio has an A-player running it.
You'll build and run a recruiting system that fills every open seat fast, both new studios and backfills, and gets each hire through their first 90 days. This is not an HR seat. Payroll, benefits, policy and compliance belong to someone else. Your job is pipeline, selection, speed and early retention.
Speed to fill. Every role gets a days-to-fill target, and the number is yours. Studio Partner, Junior Studio Partner and Whitening Technician seats get filled before an empty seat costs a studio revenue.
A standing bench. Keep a live pipeline in every market so a resignation becomes a scheduling problem, not an emergency. Have talent ready in new markets before the doors open.
One repeatable system. Sourcing channels, job ads, screening, structured interviews, scorecards and offers, written down well enough to run in six-plus states without you on every call.
The hiring bar. Define what A+ looks like for each role and hold to it, even when a studio is short-staffed. A fast bad hire doesn't count as a fill.
The first 90 days. Onboarding, training handoffs, 30/60/90 check-ins and early-attrition tracking. If a hire quits in week six, that counts against you.
Recruiting spend. Own the budget across Indeed and every other channel, and know cost per hire by market and by source.
You report these numbers every week, and your bonus is tied to them:
Average days to fill, by role and market
Total open-seat days across all studios
90-day retention of new hires
Hiring-manager rating of hire quality
Cost per hire
You have 5+ years of high-volume, multi-location recruiting in retail, fitness, med spa, hospitality or sales organizations
