The full story:
Background
Today’s Dental was founded in 1980 with the goal of providing high-quality, safe, convenient, and comfortable dental care in a family-friendly setting. With six locations around the Omaha Metro and Freemont, Nebraska, areas, Today’s Dental provides a blend of modern dental technology, compassion, and a relentless commitment to building and maintaining meaningful relationships.
Challenges
Today’s Dental sought to hire Registered Dental Hygienists for its growing practice locations. However, general job boards yielded few qualified candidates and came with a high price tag. Meanwhile, the talent shortage in the dental industry created more challenges with attracting the right applicants. Frustrated with general job boards, Today’s Dental wanted a more cost-effective solution for finding high-quality candidates nationwide.
Solutions
Today’s Dental turned to iHire, an employment platform with 57 industry-specific talent communities, including iHireDental. Using iHire’s Job Slots – flexible job postings that can be swapped in and out – with nationwide candidate targeting, Today’s Dental could reach qualified Dental Hygienists. The practice also sourced potential candidates from iHire’s Resume Search, set up a company profile to showcase its employer brand, and enrolled in iHire’s Choice Employer program for additional exposure opportunities.
As Today’s Dental began recruiting, the organization worked closely with their Hiring Success Strategist to optimize its job postings with the right keywords and skillsets, using iHire’s AI-powered job ad generator for assistance. Today’s Dental also took advantage of iHire’s candidate management and messaging tools to keep prospects organized as they moved through the hiring process and efficiently communicate with applicants via email and text directly through the platform.
Results
Less than 60 days after posting a Registered Dental Hygienist role at its Omaha location, Today’s Dental hired a qualified candidate. In fact, the nationwide visibility of the posting attracted someone from another state who planned to relocate.
“Our posting for Registered Dental Hygienists needed national visibility in the current job market,” said Sherry Hassler, COO & EOS Integrator, Today’s Dental. “iHireDental.com is the only platform that filled that request in an affordable manner. We hired a great candidate within 60 days where with other sites we’d spent five times as much money and had zero prospects. We are so grateful!”
