Looking for a dental staffing agency? Here's the modern version.

Clinics search for a dental temp agency when a chair is about to sit empty. Fairly does the job agencies were built for, without the parts you hate: vetted, license-verified hygienists and assistants, a flat $52 booking fee per completed shift, and no markup on the temp's rate. Post a shift, review applicants, pick your professional.

Agency vs. Fairly: the same job, done differently

Traditional agency
  • you call and wait for a callback
  • the agency picks who shows up
  • typical markup around 40% on the temp's rate
  • temp reliability is the agency's word
  • payroll and paperwork vary by agency
Fairly
  • post a shift in minutes, applicants often confirmed in under 10 minutes
  • you review applicants and their track records, you choose
  • flat $52 booking fee, the temp's rate goes to the temp in full
  • every professional verified: license and identity checked, cancellation history visible before you book
  • CRA-compliant payroll available through Fairly Payroll for Temps
Say your temp's rate is $60/hr for an 8-hour day. A typical agency bills around $84/hr with markup: about $672. On Fairly: $480 to the temp plus $52 to Fairly, $532 total. About $140 back in your pocket per shift, roughly 21% less than an agency.
