How We Are Different
The most important difference between On Call Dental Temps and other dental staffing companies is that we are owned and operated by career dental professionals. Together, we have over 50 years in the industry which gives us the insight and experience to know what works, and what doesn’t. Our goal is to provide a fast, effective, and affordable way for dental practices to connect with dental professionals interested in temporary staffing opportunities. You can learn more about our model below:

MEMBER SEARCH
Why don’t dental staffing agencies allow practices to browse profiles of available dental professionals? That’s a question that we never understood so we decided to do something about it! Dental practices in our community can browse and search the profiles of dental professionals in their area and vice versa for dental professionals. Want to find a hygienist that speaks Spanish? Or a practice that offers a certain pay rate? Check out our Member Search tool!

NO LABOR RATE MARKUP
Marking up labor rates for dental professionals is so….yesterday. The only cost to use our service is your monthly or annual membership fee. Take the money you are saving and invest it back into your practice and staff!

ONCALL JOBS BOARD
Accessing the OnCall Jobs Board
To use the OnCall Jobs Board, an active Dental Practice or Dental Professional membership is required.
The Jobs Board is published on our home page and uses geolocation to display jobs in your area. Use the drop down box to view jobs in other networks. Dental practice members can view opportunities published by dental professionals. Dental professionals can browse jobs posted by dental practices in their area.
Dental Professionals: How to Use the OnCall Jobs Board
Have a free morning or day and would like to earn some extra income? Check out our OnCall Jobs Board! Browse dental practices with temp staffing needs and directly message practices you are interested in working with. Or post your availability to the Jobs Board for all practices in your area to see.
We understand that many dental professionals have long-term, full or part-time positions but would like to augment their monthly income. With that in mind, we built the OnCall Jobs Board so that dental professionals can find or offer temporary positions for when and where they would like to work.
Please use the following guide to successfully set up your profile and begin using the OnCall Jobs Board:
Step #1: Fill out your Profile
You can access your Profile by clicking on Account at the top of this page.
Next, you will be shown your Account menu. Click on Profile and then Edit.
You will now see the different profile groups you can edit (About, Resume, Certificates, Skills, and Special Certificates). Spend a few minutes and fill out the information in each group. This is IMPORTANT because it will allow dental practices to learn more about your work experience, skills, availability etc.
We also recommend that you add a profile photo and cover image. You can find buttons to add those next to the Edit button.
That’s it! Your Profile is now set up and you can begin using the OnCall Jobs Board.
Step #2: Add Your Availability or Browse the OnCall Jobs Board
There are two ways to use the OnCall Jobs Board: adding your availability for dental practice members to see when you are available or browse jobs already posted by dental practice members in your area.
Adding Your Availability
To publish your availability to the OnCall Jobs Board, visit Account > Your Jobs > Add New Job or click here.
You can then enter the details of your availability. A couple of important things to remember:
Name Your OnCall Jobs Board post: This is the first piece of information that dental practice members will see when viewing the OnCall Jobs Board. Make your event title clear and concise. Below are several examples:
“Dental Assistant with 10 Years of Experience Available Today!”
“Afternoon Dental Hygienist Available for any Dental Practice“
“Need Dental Support Staff? Highly Skilled Support Staffer Available“
Category: It’s important to select the right category or categories when setting up your OnCall Jobs Board post. If you would like to offer position in multiple locations (i.e. Seattle, WA and Portland, OR), you can do so by multi-selecting your desired categories. Remember, you do need an active membership for each location you would like to advertise your services in.
Event Image: Adding an event image increases the likelihood that a dental practice member will book your event. It doesn’t need to be a picture of yourself – some post pictures of their pet, favorite artwork, or a stunning landscape shot.
After you have finished adding the details of your availability, click Post Job and it will immediately be posted and visible to other members of your network!
What happens next? When a dental practice member is interested in your OnCall Jobs Board opportunity, they contact you via direct message to discuss what they are looking for, discuss pay rate, requirements, etc. If you decide to work together, you’re all set!
Browse the OnCall Jobs Board
If you prefer to browse jobs that dental practice members have published, visit the OnCall Jobs Board. You will see jobs listed in your area or you can use the drop down menu to review jobs in other networks.

Most dental practices and dental professionals in our community use the Member Search tool on a regular basis.

Showing Members You Are Actively Seeking or Offering Positions
To let other members know that you are actively looking for or offering a temporary opportunity, fill out your profile. Pay particular attention to the “About Me” sections as this is usually the first element of your profile that other members review.
IMPORTANT: To ensure that other members can find your profile within the Member Search tool, you need to fill out your profile first. See the instructions below on how to complete your Profile.
Showing Members You Are Not Actively Seeking or Offering Positions
When you no longer need or are offering positions, please update the “About Me” section to show that you are no longer actively looking for positions. For dental practice members, we recommend adding a sentence at the top of your “About My Office” section that says “POSITION FILLED”.
