Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hire a permanent dental receptionist?
A permanent dental receptionist search typically runs 3–6 weeks from brief to start date. Urgent briefs can move faster if the candidate market is active in your city.
What does it cost to hire a permanent dental receptionist through Dental Shift?
Our fee is 15% of the candidate's first-year base salary, payable only on hire. No retainer, no upfront fee, no charge if we don't place. Permanent dental receptionists typically sit around $55k–$80k permanent, so you can use that to estimate.
Do you offer a replacement guarantee?
Yes — every permanent placement comes with a 30-day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or doesn't work out within 30 days of starting, we re-run the search at no extra fee.
Can a dental receptionist start as interim or temp-to-perm?
Yes. We can match interim cover while the permanent search runs, and convert the right candidate to permanent if the fit is right.
