Let’s say you own or manage a dental office, and it’s a Monday morning.
You’ve had a relaxing weekend with the family, and you’re ready to hit the ground running for the week; You’ve got a full schedule of patients, and you can’t wait to give them all excellent care.
Then you get a message from one of your dental hygienists scheduled to work three days that week — she’s got a family emergency, and won’t be able to make it to any of her shifts.
PANIC.
What are your options? Aside from calling to cancel all of your patients and cut your losses, which no one wants, you’d probably try one of three things:
Pull out your office list of hygienists who’ve temped for you before, and go down the list one-by-one, giving each a call to see who is available. (Not unlike a parent from a 90s sitcom or movie who runs through the roster of babysitters to see who can fill in last-minute so they don’t have to cancel date night.)
Hop into a Facebook group for dental professionals and post that you’re hoping to hire a temp RDH ASAP, and then be burdened with monitoring Facebook in hopes that someone comments or sends a DM, then go back and forth on the details. (And maybe still not have any luck.)
Call a local staffing agency to see if they can find someone to send it, but have very little control over the quality and experience of the candidate; You get what you get, and it probably won’t be cheap.
None of these are ideal, or even desirable.
But lucky for you, the Tooth Fairy has a treat for you: A fourth option that removes all of the hassle for you.
Enter: Biteline.
Consider the same scenario. Monday morning. A full schedule of patients. Your RDH calls out. But this time, you don’t quite reach panic.
You hop on Biteline, post for a temp RDH, and…that’s it. You’re done. You get back to what you need to focus on while we get to work finding you an available, qualified RDH.
