With the number of dental jobs in the UK at a very healthy figure, and still rising it is no surprise to hear that the average dental recruitment agency is struggling. With so many dental professionals looking for work and so many dental surgeries looking for the ideal candidates to apply for the many dental vacancies available, trying to match the two together in an efficient and effective way is not easy.
Years ago the entire process was carried out using paper and huge filing cabinets, and although today computers and software make the job a great deal easier, they can also provide yet another obstacle. Because computers have made it even easier for dental surgeries to send in requests for candidates, complete with details, requirements and locations, and dental professionals are now able to send out dozens or even hundreds of applications with just a few clicks of their mouse.
This has meant that as well as the number of dental jobs in the UK rising as more dental practices open, and with more dental professionals looking for work, the end result is that any dental recruitment agency is looking at trying to process a mammoth amount of data. It's no wonder that often the time it takes to process a single application or fill a single vacancy is often several days at best, and several weeks at worst. Add in the fact that dental surgeries are often facing bills of thousands of pounds in dental recruitment agency fees, and the whole situation is clearly not ideal from anyone's perspective, except perhaps the agency's.
It is refreshing therefore to see that modern technology has provided a solution which is not only supremely more effective than the existing one, but which is extremely obvious, the only question being why no one had thought of doing it before. Networking is something which today's internet provides in abundance, from Facebook and Twitter to LinkedIn and many, many more besides. Social networking is a powerful tool, bringing together people in effective and beneficial ways. It is no surprise therefore to hear that a new dental networking site has recently launched offering for the first time a way for dental surgeries to recruit candidates for the dental vacancies they have available, as well as allowing dental professionals to become actively involved in the search for the ideal dental job.
With no dental recruitment agency sitting in the middle and therefore with no dental recruitment agency fees to worry about, dental surgeries can now find the candidates they're looking for much more quickly. Effectively the way it works is that dental professionals seeking work can publish a profile page which lists their qualifications, skills and experience. No identifiable information is published, such as name, address or current employer, but dental surgeries can then browse or filter the profiles based on suitable skills or experience. Once a surgery identifies a potential candidate they can make a request through the networking site, and if the professional agrees, their contact details are then released to the surgery who can then arrange an interview.
Dental professionals can also easily browse or search for suitable dental jobs in the UK, and apply for them directly through the networking site. Offering a secure, free and efficient way for dental surgeries and dental professionals to connect with each other, surgeries benefit from saving thousands of pounds, and gain the ideal candidates more quickly, offering a faster and more efficient service to patients, whilst professionals can enjoy the opportunity to further their career more quickly and with more control over their applications. Far from causing more work, modern computer software solutions have resulted in a much more streamlined, effective and affordable alternative to the traditional dental recruitment agency.
