Finding a good dental temp agency can be tricky. Especially true if your dental office is not in a major city like Toronto, the GTA, Ottawa, or Vancouver. When you’re looking, here are a few things to look for:
What To Look For In a Dental Temp Agency
- Does the dental temp agency have 24hr service?
You’re looking for an agency that is available around the clock. When you get a text message from a member of your team saying they won’t make it in, you want to the search for a temp to start right away.
- Does the agency place dental hygienists?
Traditionally dental offices have multiple dental hygienists on their team. Just based on probabilities, that means a hygienist is the most likely member of the team to be calling in sick. Be sure the temp agency places dental hygienists quickly.
- Do they have a large pool of temps to draw from?
The more hygienists and other candidates the agency has on their roster, the more likely you will find a good quality temp candidate quickly.
- Do they have a good reputation in the industry?
Talk to your colleagues about dental temp agencies they’ve used. Usually you can get some good leads from them. It doesn’t hurt to send an e-mail off to the agency as well to get a sense for their responsiveness and customer service.
