Candidate FAQ

We work with candidates at all levels, depending on the needs of our clients. Today's sales rep is tomorrow's commercial leader — and we keep that in mind.

Yes! And since we're talking — have you ever considered the dental industry as your next career destination? You might be surprised.

Absolutely. The dental industry is in an exciting stage of growth and advancement — and it's a healthy place to build a career. To continue evolving at the forefront of healthcare, we need diverse talents and experiences in the talent pool. All are welcome.

No. There is no fee to candidates. Our success fees are paid by our company clients.

The simple answer: we're the humans in the loop.

Job boards have their place. They aggregate opportunities and applicants, and they're a useful information point. But when you submit your resume through an application system — whether via a job board or a company website — you're navigating that process alone.

When you work with us, you have an advocate who knows the role, knows the organization, and can open doors that a job board can't.

Never. Your resume is never shared without your explicit permission.

Your name goes nowhere without your permission — full stop. We don't share, float, or mention you to anyone until we've agreed together that it's the right next step. Confidentiality isn't a policy here. It's a personal standard.

Two things: a current resume and a clear sense of what you're looking for. We can help you position yourself for it, but we can't define it for you.

You can connect with us through LinkedIn, email, or a referral from someone in your network. However you arrive, we respond within 24 hours.

From there, we'll ask you to share your resume and, if you have one, your CliftonStrengths assessment. This gives us what we need to understand your background and begin evaluating fit — both for current openings and future opportunities as they arise.

Next steps vary depending on your experience, the roles we're actively working, and timing. We're honest about that. When there's a strong match, we move quickly. When timing isn't right, we stay in touch.

Absolutely. In fact, the best time to connect with us is when you're still employed. There's less pressure, more options, and the process stays on your terms. If you're thinking strategically about your career, we'd love to be part of that conversation early.

If you're asking this question, you're already ahead of most candidates.

Every step of an interview process should generate useful data — about the role, the organization, and the people leading it. But knowing what "good fit" means for you is personal work that has to happen first.

It starts with a clear understanding of your core values and strengths. When you know those, you have a filter. You can walk into any opportunity and evaluate it on your own terms rather than just hoping it works out.

Every search is different. In the current market, most placements come together within 60 to 90 days — though some move faster and others take longer. A lot depends on the role, the organization, and how quickly both sides are able to move.

Once a candidate and client find their match, we step back. We don't mediate the relationship or linger where we don't belong — we make a quiet exit and let the partnership take root.

But personally and professionally? We're not going anywhere.

We care deeply about what happens to the people we place and the companies we serve. These are people's careers and people's businesses. We live and work in this industry every day — contributing, serving, and showing up. Once we're in relationship, we're in relationship.
