Associate dentist recruiting.

The associate hire sets the ceiling on how much dentistry a practice can produce and how much of it the owner still has to do personally. It is also the hire most often made from whoever applied, because the search competes with a full schedule.

Best for an owner who needs a second or third doctor in the chair without losing months to it.

What we weigh

  • Clinical scope against what the practice actually books — where the cases go now and what a second doctor would keep in-house
  • Working style next to the owner’s: how much autonomy is on offer, and how much this candidate wants
  • Why they are leaving their current seat, and whether this one solves it
  • Whether the compensation structure and the case mix support the income they are counting on

How the search runs

  • We source actively rather than waiting on applicants, including doctors who are not visibly looking and candidates open to relocating
  • Every person on the shortlist has been spoken to about this practice specifically
  • You see a shortlist we can defend, not a stack of résumés to sort
  • If the placement leaves inside the first year, we run the search again at best effort, at no additional charge

This search normally runs under Path A, the search retainer.See how the model works→What it costs→

The guarantee

Backed for a full year.
