For practices
Recruiting an orthodontist.
An orthodontist vacancy that just won’t fill costs more than you think: waiting time, pressure on the team, and at some point patients too. With us, recruitment and selection means we don’t start with a job advert but with a visit to your practice.
Why this comes up so often.
In orthodontics everything runs in courses of treatment that last months: if the clinician drops out, patients are left waiting with braces that need checking. That is different from a gap in the schedule — it affects treatments already under way, and putting them off is rarely an option.
Honestly: we don’t make promises about lead times. Those depend just as much on your own process — how quickly you schedule interviews, how you build your offer. We are happy to think along on that, because that is often exactly where a good candidate drops out.
How it works.
We visit first
What does this person need to be able to do, how does the day run, and who will the new colleague be working alongside? Without that picture you are just sending CVs back and forth.
Into the network, with purpose
We approach people personally. No advert that turns up everywhere at once — in a small world, that does your name no favours.
A handful of candidates, not a stack
Usually three, all worth interviewing. You conduct the interviews; we guide the process until the signature is in place, and we stay in touch after that.
Also possible.

Frequently asked questions.
How many candidates will I see?
Usually three. Rather a few people who are all worth interviewing than a stack of CVs for you to wade through. And if the first one is a match straight away, you won’t hear us complain.
Do I have to work with you exclusively?
For the first six weeks, yes. Not to tie you down, but because we invest up front: coming to you, getting to know your practice, approaching people personally. With four agencies calling the same orthodontists, you become the practice that turns up everywhere — and that doesn’t help you. If it produces nothing, you are free.
Can it be done discreetly?
Yes. Sometimes you want to look for someone without your team or the practice around the corner knowing. Then we recruit without naming you, and only say who you are once a candidate is serious and you give the go-ahead.
What do you look for in an orthodontist?
Entry in the register of dental specialists alongside BIG registration, experience with both fixed appliances and aligners, and whether someone is used to running their own clinical team. A generalist matches on keywords; we speak to the people ourselves.
