Dental Hiring Kit

Dental hiring runs on a one-paragraph job post, a quick chat, and a working interview handled on a handshake. The post attracts the wrong candidates, the working interview is run without an agreement or correct pay, and the license gets photocopied instead of verified. Each shortcut feels small until the day it is not.

The Dental Hiring Kit brings large-employer rigor to a small practice hire: complete job descriptions for the three core roles, a working interview run the right way and paid the right way, and a credential file verified before the first patient day.

What is inside

  • 1. Start Here (PDF). The one-page map: pick the role and post it, choose the right tryout format, run and score it, verify credentials before the offer, then keep the renewal tracker current.
  • 2. Dental Job Description Templates (Word). Three complete, ready-to-post job descriptions for Dental Hygienist, Dental Assistant, and Front Office Coordinator, built around essential functions, plus a reusable fill-in template and an offer-stage pay-range note.
  • 3. Working Interview Guide (Word). How to choose between a shadow visit, a skills demonstration, and a paid working interview, with the pay rules flagged for local law review, an agreement form, half-day agendas with scoring sheets per role, and a completed scored example.
  • 4. Credential Verification Checklist (Word). Per-role credential grids, a six-step primary source verification process, a verification log, and a renewal tracker, so licensure is confirmed before the first patient day and stays confirmed.

Plus the Product License.

What makes it different

The working interview guide is the headline, because working interviews are a dental hiring norm and the pay side is routinely handled wrong. The guide makes the format choice explicit, puts the agreement in writing, and states the pay guidance plainly: productive work is compensable, agree on the rate in writing before the day.

The credential checklist moves the practice from a photocopy of a license card to primary source verification with a dated log, which is the difference between assuming and knowing. Completed examples use a fictional practice, Lakeview Family Dental.

Questions practice owners ask

Are the job descriptions really ready to post?

Yes. Each one carries the position summary, essential functions, credentials stated generically with you directed to your state board, schedule and physical demands, and the reporting line. Adjust the credentials section for your state, set an honest pay range, and post.

What does the candidate do during a working interview?

The half-day agendas spell it out per role, with a scoring sheet and the do-not list: no unsupervised clinical work, licensure confirmed before any clinical task.

Do I need special software?

No. The documents open in Word.

If you are looking for what comes after the hire, the Dental Onboarding System runs the first weeks, the Practice Manager Conversations Toolkit gives you the words for the hard conversations, and the Dental Practice HR System brings the whole practice HR system into one purchase below the cost of the parts.

How the download works

Your files arrive as a single ZIP download, best opened on a computer: save it, extract it (right-click and Extract All on Windows, double-click on a Mac), and open the Start Here file first. PDFs open in any reader, and the editable files work in Microsoft Word and Excel or their free equivalents, including LibreOffice and Google Docs and Sheets. No other software is needed. Step-by-step help for every device is at truestephr.com/pages/download-help.

Scope

This kit is a set of working tools and editable templates for handling performance, conduct, and people decisions in a clear, consistent, and defensible way. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for qualified counsel on your specific situation. Conversations about performance, pay, and conduct can carry legal consequences, and discipline, documentation, and termination rules vary by state. Where a matter is heading toward discipline or separation, or where an employee raises a complaint about harassment, discrimination, retaliation, or safety, have the facts and your next step reviewed against applicable law before you act.

Built to the TrueStep HR standard. Backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. Questions: support@truestephr.com.
