Partnering With Dental Staffing Agencies In Vancouver

By Daphne Bowen


People of all ages in Canada and throughout British Columbia make it a point to see their dentist often. With a growing number of patients looking to them for care, dentists sometimes find themselves short on help. Because it may not be prudent to advertise for new employees in a newspaper or online, they instead may choose to partner with experienced dental staffing agencies in Vancouver. These businesses have the ability to recruit, interview, and send over new applicants who are looking for work in the dentistry field and want to care for patients.

Hygienist work is among the positions that are most in demand at any given time. Given the nature of the work, some people may be reluctant to consider this career for a long-term basis. However, they are important because a dentist looks to one of these specialists to clean a person's teeth, make sure that x-rays are ordered, and also keep the records for a patient updated with each appointment.

Another reason why such a shortage of this position exists is because these employees are assigned to one or two patients at a time. As providers take on more patients, more of these specialists will be required to fill the available positions. An agency that hires out candidates looking for such work can assist with keeping these jobs filled and clients cared for every day.

Receptionists also may have to undergo scrutiny to ensure that they are ready for the type of employment required by their possible employer. A receptionist will be expected to greet people as they come into the office and also answer phones at the same time. This individual also may answer letters and emails, update charts, make appointments, and otherwise take care of the front office.

An agency that has workers for this job can assist a dentist in keeping his or her practice running. They can give the candidate a typing test, ensure that this person has phone answering skills, and could fulfill other duties expected of him or her. Once the candidate passes the tests, this person may be sent over for the position.

An agency also has the ability to vet new dentists who have just graduated from college. Owners of established practices sometimes need new dentists to take on subordinate or partnership positions. Instead of making a visit to a British Columbia dentist college or trusting such a job to an online advertisement, they may instead look to a company that is qualified to recruit dentists for open positions at local practices.

People who are in search of full-time or part-time work might also find success by submitting applications with one of these companies. Likewise, individuals who only want to work for a seasonal basis might prefer to apply with and seek employment through one of these businesses. They could have the most success during busy times in the year when patients tend to make appointments leading up to big events, like back to school.

Vancouver, British Columbia dental practices sometimes need help keeping enough staff on hand to care for people of all ages. When it is not feasible to advertise on the Internet or put on ad in the newspaper, owners of clinics may find it better to partner with a staffing agency. They may be able to hire employees for a variety of positions.
