If you’re looking for dental jobs, what are your chances and what are your choices? Well, there’s good news and bad news, but there’s also some good news. Let’s start with the first lot of good news, because today there are more dental jobs than ever before. As more and more surgeries open up across the UK, and existing surgeries expand and develop the needs for dental professionals grow.
Today there are many thousands of dental positions available, from hygienists to dental nurses, and whether you’ve just qualified and are looking for your first dental job or you’re long in the tooth (excuse the pun, I couldn’t resist!) and are looking for your next step up the dental ladder, there are positions across the UK for the taking. So with all this good news, what is the bad news then?
Well, there are two lots of bad news I’m afraid, but stay with me because there’s some more good news on the way afterwards I promise! The first bit of bad news is that in addition to the rising need for more dental professionals resulting in more dental jobs being available there is also a rise in the number of people qualifying within the dental industry. That means that alongside the rise in the number of jobs there is also a rise in the number of people looking for and competing for those same jobs.
This might not be too bad if there was a firm and reliable means by which those people looking for dental jobs could find them and apply for them, but here’s the second bit of bad news, because dental recruitment agencies haven’t exactly been proactive in stepping up to the mark as far as coping with this increased need for jobs is concerned. In fact many dental recruitment agencies are still at the stage where they’re shifting stacks of paper about and feverishly trying to type it all up on to the computer.
This process, as you can imagine, takes a very long time, and so often dental surgeries and dental professionals are stuck facing an inordinately long wait for news or information on potential candidates or possible dental vacancies. In the meantime what can you do? Well, if you have nothing better to do while you wait for a dental recruitment agency to try to find a dental vacancy for you then you might just pop onto Facebook and discuss your woes with your friends and colleagues. But whilst you’re doing this a thought might just occur to you.
With social networking helping to put people in touch so easily based on a few basic items of information, how hard could it be to create a hybrid dental recruitment agency which takes on board the power of social networking and combines it with existing knowledge and experience of dental recruitment?
In fact this very same idea has already occurred to some people who have then gone off and created it. Here’s the second bit of good news I was promising you, because this new style recruitment agency is now up and running and being used by many dental surgeries and dental professionals across the UK.
Not only does it help to find dental vacancies in a fraction of the time, enabling dental professionals to actively look for and apply for positions they find online but it also enables dental surgeries to promote vacancies without having to pay thousands of pounds in agency fees. In fact the service also provides the option for surgeries to actively headhunt potential candidates and invite them to apply for positions. Now that’s a bit of good news worth mentioning next time you’re on Facebook.
