About Biteline

Q: How does Biteline work?

A:We are a job networking platform that helps connect dental professionals to open opportunities with local dental practices.! We are essentially a job board for the dental world! You have the ability to work where you want when you want. 


Q: Is Biteline a staffing agency? 

A: Biteline is NOT a staffing agency. Unlike staffing agencies, you work through us, not for us. Using our app platform, you are able to connect with the offices you would like to work with. 


Q: What if the app is not showing any jobs in my area? 

A: We will be coming to your area very soon! It’s great that you’ve made a profile because that means you will have first access to jobs when they become available. We will also touch base with you again when the time comes! 


Q: What kind of job opportunities does Biteline offer?

A: We connect dental professionals who are searching for temp work and permanent positions to open opportunities! Offices have openings for both. 


Q: How do I get paid? 

A: Our offices pay you directly – the great thing about Biteline is that we never take a portion of your pay like staffing agencies. Offices typically pay at the end of the day (check or 1099) or W2 (payroll). If you have any questions on how the office will pay you, you can send them a message on our platform via our chat feature.

Using Biteline

A: We strongly encourage you to update your availability as soon as anything changes with your schedule. A good tip is to check your app calendar weekly.

After the Job

Q: How do I receive my Biteline bonuses?

They are sent out on the 15th of the month for jobs completed in the previous month. If you have not received your bonus, contact us at support@biteline.net

Q: When Do I Become Eligible to Receive Bonuses?

A: To be eligible for bonuses, you are required to

  2. Submit a completed W9 form
  3. Provide your preferred method of payment
When signing up for Biteline, all professionals receive a blank W9 form. If you require the W9 form to be resent or have not yet received your bonus after submitting your W9 and preferred payment method, please reach out to us at support@biteline.net

Troubleshooting

Q: Why am I getting an error message when I try to log in? 

A: Our login feature is case sensitive. Just a friendly reminder to make sure that “Caps Lock” is off and all characters match your initial username and log in. If there are still issues logging in, please contact our team at support@biteline.net

 

Q: Why am I not receiving any offers or messages from offices? 

A: You may have the option to set yourself to “browse anonymously” turned on.
