Direct Hire vs. Temporary Staffing: A Comparative Analysis
Feature | Direct Hire | Temporary Staffing |
Cost | Higher upfront costs, but potential for long-term savings due to reduced turnover and increased productivity | Lower upfront costs, but can be more expensive in the long run due to agency fees and potential turnover |
Time Investment | Longer hiring process due to thorough vetting and selection | Faster placement, ideal for addressing immediate needs |
Team Cohesion | Fosters a strong sense of belonging and loyalty, leading to improved communication and collaboration | Can be challenging to build strong team cohesion with temporary staff |
Expertise | Targeted recruitment allows for finding candidates with specific skills and experience | Access to a wider range of skills, but may require additional training and onboarding |
Flexibility | Less flexible for adjusting staffing levels in the short term | Highly flexible, allowing you to scale your workforce up or down as needed |

Which Staffing Solution is Right for Your Practice?
This depends on your practice type. We work with Private Practices, DSOs, Corporate dental offices, and specialists in Orthodontics, Periodontics, Endodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, and Community Health and Public Health Dental Clinics. If you’re looking to fill a long-term position and build a cohesive team, direct hire is likely the best choice. If you need immediate coverage for a short period, temporary staffing offers a more flexible solution.
