The idea
A SaaS platform for solo practice owners that auto-posts open roles to dental-specific job boards, scores applicants against CDT knowledge and software proficiency benchmarks, and monitors scheduling and payroll data for retention-risk signals. The owner sees one dashboard instead of juggling job boards, group chats, and spreadsheets. No dedicated HR hire required.
Who pays
Dental Practice Owner / Owner-Dentist, typically Solo practice to small group (1–5 locations, $500K–$3M annual collections). Replaces: manual job board posting, dental staffing agency fees, and informal referral hiring.
The pain
SourcedLow reimbursement ranked #1 and staffing shortages #2 in the ADA's Q4 2025 dentist survey, with 54% of dentists still reporting recruitment and retention difficulties. DSO-backed offices outbid solo practices with sign-on bonuses, leaving independents in a perpetual hiring loop.
