GapZap Dental Staffing, located at http://www.gapzap.com, recently launched a new, innovative website that is aimed at helping dental practices and dental personnel nationwide come together in real-time to solve each other’s hiring and employment needs.   GapZap Dental Staffing provides dental practices with a more cost-effective and efficient staffing tool and allows them to take control of all their staffing shortfalls for both temporary and full-time dental hygienists and dental assistants.  This new service was created for the sole purpose of bringing a more efficient, cost-effective and superior staffing option to the dental industry, much in the same way Monster.com revolutionized corporate staffing.  GapZap Dental Staffing is absolutely free for dental candidates and dentists have three different payment options to choose from depending on their particular staffing needs.

    To get started, dentists simply register and post a Job Offer.  As soon as the offer is active they can begin searching for suitable candidates.  Once they find a candidate, the Job Offer is sent directly to them!  There is no middleman and it all happens in real-time.  Candidates can also search for open Job Offers and apply for jobs directly when they are available.

Some of the key features include:

• Ability to post and search for both Temporary and Temp-to-Hire Job Offers
• Peer Ratings: Allows both Dentists and Candidates to rate each other on work environment and job performance
• Real-time Job Offer updates

“GapZap Dental Staffing is working everyday to provide a more efficient and affordable dental staffing solution to the masses.  Our intent is to provide dental practices and personnel a new and improved solution designed to revolutionize the way dental staffing is handled nationwide,” said Ray Dahman, President and founder of GapZap Dental Staffing.

An answer to this short staffing issue could be to employ a dental student for the summer.  Students who are in dental training programs are keen to do any kind of work, in order get a bit of real life experience in a dental practice, and they also probably have student loans to pay off after all.

Students offer a good deal for the dental practice.   They can work as reception staff or as  trainee dental assistants.  Many have  a good working knowledge of dentistry, they are usually well spoken, well educated and have  good communication skills – all essential qualities for good dental office personnel.

There is a large pool of talent that seems to be going to waste here, as dental students trudge back to their home towns to work in the local grocery store, rather than getting experience in the field they have actually chosen to work.  Who knows, by employing students over the summer you could be starting a good working relationship that will continue once they graduate.

• Dentists, hygienists and assistants all register for free at GapZap.com.
• Once registered, dentists can search for qualified dental hygienists and assistants based on the availability they have set on their monthly calendar.  Hygienists and assistants can also search open job offers to seek you out as well.
• Once you have found a qualified candidate, simply post and send the job offer to them!

Stop staffing your dental practice or looking for employment the old-fashioned way.  Start taking control of your own unique needs and register for free at GapZap Dental Staffing today!
