Keeping Positions Filled Through Dental Staffing Agencies In Vancouver

By Daphne Bowen


Regardless of age, people will always need to see a dentist on a regular basis. Because more people than ever are making appointments with dentists, providers likewise continue to experience employee shortages in their offices. Rather than take out an advertisement in the local newspaper or put an ad on the Internet for help, many of these offices will look to dental staffing agencies in Vancouver for new applicants. The candidates sent to providers seeking new employees can fill the shortages and help take care of 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.

A hygienist typically will look after at least two people during any given appointment. The patient can be of any age and have any variety of oral care needs. As important as the position may be, however, the person filling it may be required to have certification or licensing from the college from which he or she graduated. The agency can ensure that the possible recruit has the right credentials for the job.

Like a hygienist, a receptionist is needed to help run the office. Receptionists answer phones, greet clients, book appointments, and take care of other clerical duties. While they are not directly involved with a patient's oral care, they play a significant role in ensuring that each client is scheduled and assisted in a timely manner.

An agency can assist filling these positions by testing possible receptionists in key areas before referring them for employment. They may administer typing tests, check out phone skills, and make sure that each candidate can use a computer sufficiently. Once a person passes, the agency could then refer this individual to a dentist office for a job.

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.

Another reason that practitioners look to these companies to assist them in keeping positions filled centers on the ability to choose both full-time and part-time or temporary workers. Sometimes the positions are only open for a short time, especially during the busy time of the year such as when children prepare to go back to school. Other openings are available for longer periods of time and could even lead to permanent employment.

Dental offices in Vancouver sometimes need additional help keeping positions filled. Because they cannot be sure of the quality of applicants when they put an ad on the Internet or in the newspaper, practitioners in charge of hiring might instead prefer to partner with staffing agencies. An agency in this industry could send along qualified people to help care for patients.
