Toothachey

For dental staffing and recruiting agencies

A posted hygienist role is a buying window measured in days.

Practices post, panic, and fill. The gap between the post and the panic is where an agency wins the account. Toothachey watches job boards and practice career pages across your states and hands you the week's openings on Monday.

The moment this pays for itself

Three practices in your metro posted for hygienists last week. You call all three Monday, while the office manager is still refreshing the applicant list.

What to work first

Your four event types, in order.

Everyone gets all seven. These are the ones that map onto your week.

Hygienist postfirst

They are short-staffed and hiring right now.

An open hygienist role posted in the last seven days.

Associate hire#2

A dentist is joining the practice.

A new name on the team page, or an associate role posted.

New opening#3

A practice exists this week that did not exist last week.

A location with no prior record appears, cross-checked against license issuance.

Ownership change#4

Somebody new is signing the checks.

New owner, DSO acquisition, or a name change on the practice record.

The arithmetic

Published numbers from your own channel.

None of these are ours. Each one links to where it came from.

The arithmetic, using your numbers

Territory costs a year

Months one covers

One placement a year covers it, with $2,412 left over.

We are not projecting how many you will win. That is your close rate on your territory. This only shows how much of one commission the subscription costs.

The fair objection

We already scrape the job boards.

Then you are getting the postings that reach the boards. About half of practice hiring never leaves the practice's own careers page, and none of it is scoped to your territory or checked by a person.
