I'm a job seeker looking for permanent and temporary jobs, is DirectDental free to join?
Yes, DirectDental.com is 100% free to use for job seekers. Find perm & temp jobs, list your availability, accept or decline job requests and apply instantly using your free dental professional profile. Your profile can be used as a professional online resume that can be shared with potential employers for interviews and even on social media.
I'm a dental office looking to hire permanent and temporary staff, what plans do you offer?
We keep it simple: pick the membership that matches the roles you hire for. Our Clinical plan lets you post any position — including clinical roles like dentists, hygienists, and expanded-functions assistants — and syndicates your jobs to our partner distribution network. Our Non-Clinical plan covers dental assistants plus front-office, administrative, and support roles. Both give you unlimited recruiting across the largest network of dental professionals — candidate searches, profile views, temp requests, direct messages and more — with monthly, quarterly, or annual pricing. No perm placement fees. No temp daily rates. No temp buyouts. Just simple, affordable pricing.
I'd prefer calling a dental staffing agency to get candidates and temps, do you offer that option too?
Yes, but way better. Our business started as a dental staffing agency and we love chatting with our amazing dental office clients. So we listened and created a new, simple and more cost effective staffing service for dental offices. Keeping the personal touch, our experienced staffing team is available to help you find perm or temp staff as needed. And our unique service plans and pricing give you more flexibility than ever before. Call us to learn more.
How many jobs can I recruit for?
You can recruit for unlimited jobs. You have the option to select Full-time, part-time, long term temporary and (daily) temporary. We recommend scheduling temp requests as far in advance as possible to have more temp candidate options. If you have regular employees scheduled to go on vacation, we recommend creating temp requests to get those days covered for your office!
Can I find temps to work at my office today?
Yes, you can recruit for temp positions and even request your favorite compatible temps for next day or same day assignments. We always recommend scheduling temp requests as far in advance as possible to give you the most compatible temp options. However we understand employees call out sick or emergencies happen and DirectDental.com is built to help you book a temp quickly whenever possible.
How is DirectDental different from other recruiting platforms?
DirectDental.com was built to enhance the perm & temp hiring experience for dental employers of all size and specialty type. We've taken our experience running a traditional dental staffing agency and created a modern service for dental offices wanting a better solution. While most recruiting platforms are meant for general business, DirectDental.com was designed to recruit across the largest network of dental professionals and match candidates to every dental office better than anyone.
Is there a limit on candidate profiles I can view and contact?
No limits! You can contact unlimited applicants and search all candidate profiles. Send direct messages, invite to apply and even request specific temp professionals for the day.
If I want to hire candidates are there any placement fees or additional costs?
There are Zero Placement Fees to hire on DirectDental.com. You can hire anyone you like whenever you're ready at no additional charge.

You can cancel at any time. Your plan will expire at the end of the billing period and you won't be charged again.
Do you accept payment by credit/debit card to start?
