We explore how dental recruitment agencies can help dental practices solve the headache of recruiting staff and filling vacancies…

Reason #1: Reduce your admin

A staff member may be leaving the business, or you may decide it’s time to grow your team – either way, when it comes to filling a vacancy the admin involved can often feel overwhelming.  

Recruitment agencies are designed to do all the leg work so you can focus on what you do best, treating your patients and running a profitable dental practice. 

Our recruitment experts not only help you write job advertisements, they also match your vacancy to candidates who are looking for a role like yours. They carry out pre-screening to ensure they’re a perfect fit and then arrange interviews on your behalf. We don’t stop there – for the successful candidates we help them collate any documentation they need. For you, this means more time spent in your practice knowing your recruitment needs are being catered for by experts.

Let us do the hard work for you…

Reason #2: No upfront costs

Contrary to popular belief you shouldn’t pay a dental recruitment agency until they successfully find you a suitable candidate. Often recruitment agency fees will be based on type of role, or salary but are only incurred once a candidate starts with you. So what’s to lose? Our recruitment experts can draft and advertise your vacancy and find, screen and arrange interviews all before you pay a penny. Only when the successful candidate starts, does the agreed fee become payable.

Let us help you manage your costs…  

Reason #3: Access a large database of talent

Recruitment agencies speak to potential candidates on a daily basis from a database of professionals built up over a period of time. When an agency specialises in a particular industry, such as the dental industry, their network is based solely on those potential candidates within it.  

Our dental recruitment experts have more 60 years combined experience of the dental recruitment space, and have built great relationships with talented professionals in the dental industry. As part of the Henry Schein group of companies we have more than 100 Team Schein members visiting dental practices every day of the working week – providing dental practice owners with solutions, including attracting and retaining staff.  

By asking us to support with your recruiting process, you can access our existing talent pool.

Reason #4: Role-specific advice

When you use a dental recruitment agency, you choose experts in the dental industry. We recruit for all roles in a dental practice, from associates, practice managers, hygienists to reception staff.  

We understand the importance of skilled, reliable staff. Whether it’s an associate or a dental receptionist role you have, we ensure a full screening process and gather regulated certificates to meet your requirements. We’re committed to connecting you with the right candidate. 

Our dental recruitment consultants are regionally specialised with in-depth knowledge of the UK dental market. They are well acquainted with dental professionals in your area and can guide you on creating and promoting a vacancy effectively.

Reason #5: Up-to-date knowledge of the market

You may consider advertising your role on job sites. Not only does this take up time that is better spent in practice, but you’re also reliant on dental professionals finding the listing and proactively applying. 

Dental recruitment agencies however discuss your recruitment requirements and help craft your job vacancy based on market conditions and demand.

Our recruitment consultants not only post it on job sites for you, we also send it out to all candidates that match your role.  

As a practice owner, register with us and we’ll keep you abreast of market trends.

In the following content, you’ll find actionable insights, from crafting compelling job adverts and conducting effective interviews to fostering a positive workplace culture. Whether you’re a seasoned practice owner or a newcomer, our aim is to guide you in building a stellar team of professionals who’ll drive your dental practice to success.

Craft a Standout Job Advertisement:

Clearly define the role and responsibilities of the position in your job ad. Highlight any unique selling points, such as opportunities for career growth, state-of-the-art equipment, recent practice renovations, or a supportive team culture. Mention any perks like flexible hours, childcare facilities, or transportation options in the area.

Streamline the Interview Process:

While a thorough interview process is essential, aim to keep it efficient to prevent losing top candidates to competitors. Clearly define the number of interview rounds and their purposes. Ensure prompt communication between stages. If you identify a strong candidate early, consider making an offer to prevent them from accepting another opportunity.

Competitive Compensation and Benefits:

Ensure that your salary and benefits package is competitive within your area and industry. Competitive pay can be a significant incentive for candidates to choose your practice over others. Offer additional benefits such as healthcare, dental care, retirement plans, or opportunities for professional development.

Showcase Your Practice’s Personality:

Inject personality into your job ad to make your practice more appealing. Share anecdotes about your team’s dynamics, social events, and the overall work environment. Highlight your practice’s values, mission, and commitment to patient care. Prospective candidates should understand what sets your practice apart.

Promote a Positive Employer Brand:

Make sure your practice is known for being a great place to work. Showcase any awards, recognitions, or certifications that your practice has received, as these can enhance your reputation as an employer.

Remember that attracting ideal candidates is an ongoing effort. Building a strong employer brand and reputation in your community will not only help you recruit top talent but also retain them in the long run. Investing time and effort into the recruitment process can ultimately lead to a more successful and thriving dental practice.
