Smart Dental Recruitment For Your Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane Practice

The new way to manage dental recruitment in your Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane dental practice

Employment types have changed in recent years and there are now a number of permanent, casual and temporary options available that can really help dentists to respond to patient demand for extended and after-hours appointment times and make the most of seasonal peaks and troughs.

Incorporating less full time permanent staff into your practice roster can also potentially help you to offer expanded treatment and service options to patients as you can access specialist skills on a regular or on-call basis depending on fluctuations in patient demand.

And now, with apps like ANCI, dental temps in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other cities can effectively freelance their services without using an agency which can help you build a team of ancillary workers without the overheads and minimum hour requirements that come with having staff on your permanent books.

The benefits of running your own flexible team of temps and casuals aren’t just financial – below you’ll find four reasons why you should be thinking about how a flexible freelance team facilitated by ANCI can help your practice reach new heights in patient treatments and experience.

Choose the Right Dental Temp for Your Practice

You’ve spent a long time perfecting the patient experience in your practice and your staff demeanour is key towards ensuring that your vision is upheld, and that your patients feel comfortable at all stages of interacting with your practice.

No matter how good your relationship is with your recruiter, they’ll never know your patients as well as you do.

So when you manage your own freelance team of professional, experienced dental support staff you can make sure that the person you’re placing not only has the minimum qualifications and experience for the project role you’re advertising but that their personality will fit with both your patients and your existing team.

Liaise Direct with Your Dental Temps in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Other Cities

It used to be that anytime you needed ancillary staff you had to reach out to a dental recruitment agency for temporary dental staff, whether it be a generalist labour hire or specialist healthcare service. Your first contact with the person would be when they arrived for their shift and everything had to be administered as per the order with the agency.

While this system generally works it doesn’t allow for the necessary longevity or flexibility in the work arrangements that you need to incorporate a flexible freelance workforce into your overall staffing strategy.

Because apps like ANCI facilitate communication direct between the dental practice and the temporary worker you can reach out directly to staff who have worked for you before to check their availability for future opportunities and communicate one on one to negotiate an ongoing arrangement.

Reward the Workers not the Temp Dental Agency

The high upfront hourly rate that agencies charge can usually be offset by the overall savings. You’re not paying a fulltime wage, and the agency takes care of administration like superannuation and taxes for the wages paid.

There is also a significant profit margin for the agency factored into their fees. This makes good business sense for them – but you could be putting that money into attracting a high calibre of staff for your own practice.

When you use ANCI or in-house management of casuals and ancillary staff, you can pay a higher hourly rate direct to your dental support workers and still come out in front of what it would have cost you to use a recruiter to place someone in your temporary role.

Temporary Dental Staff Admin Made Easy

Those administration tasks and costs can be significant, and many practices don’t have a dedicated Human Resources team so may be reluctant to put additional workload on their Practice Manager by bringing temporary recruitment back in house.

When you use ANCI to manage your temporary workforce, the paperwork is done for you. It’s quick and easy for someone with even a basic level of technical skills to post jobs and appoint their preferred candidate.

ANCI also manages time sheets and payments automatically which eliminates some of the more cumbersome aspects of administration of managing casual and temporary staff in house.

MAKING DENTAL TEMPORARY STAFFING WORK FOR YOU

By taking the time to explore your practice needs now and into the future and apply ANCI dental recruitment and staffing strategies that support your practice vision and goal, you’ll be in the best position to attract and retain staff and patients alike.
