Reference checks for your next dental hire.
The front desk, assistant, or hygienist you hire next sits with your patients all day. MyLynda screens every applicant for free, then reference-checks your finalists, so you know who you're hiring before the second interview, not three weeks into training.
An empty chair is lost production.
Dental roles are patient-facing and hard to backfill. A no-show or a flaky hire empties the schedule and chips away at patient trust. References rarely get called because chasing them takes hours nobody in a practice has.
Every seat faces a patient
Front desk handles scheduling, insurance, and the first impression. An assistant or hygienist who can't be relied on costs you production and trust, not just payroll.
There's no HR to call references
You hire between patients, so the reference check that would catch a bad fit never happens. The wrong hire can cost $10K to $20K once you count training and lost time.
A license isn't the whole story
Hygienists and assistants may be licensed, but reliability, tenure, and would-rehire signal still matter. Short stints and gaps are easy to miss on paper.
Screen everyone. Reference-check the finalists.
The same two-stage flow the rest of MyLynda runs, tuned to the roles a practice actually hires.
Add your applicants
Drop in resumes or a CSV from Indeed or your job board. We parse, rank, and grade every one, free.
Pick your finalists
Compare on tenure, gaps, and fit, then choose who's worth a real reference check.
We run the reference checks
Your finalist authorizes it; we email their past employers a structured questionnaire, run a LinkedIn cross-check, and return a green / amber / red verdict with the questions to ask next.
Dental hiring questions.
What dental roles does MyLynda screen?
Front desk and reception, dental assistants, hygienists, office managers, treatment and financial coordinators, and billing staff — the patient-facing and operational roles a practice hires most. It works for small medical offices too.
Does it verify a dental license?
MyLynda verifies work history and reference signal. License status for hygienists and assistants is a separate public-record check; we focus on reliability, tenure, and whether past employers would rehire them.
How does MyLynda contact references?
After the candidate gives consent, we email each past employer a short structured questionnaire and run an automated LinkedIn cross-check on work history. We don't phone references.
How fast is the report?
Target under 24 hours from when the candidate completes their consent — fast enough to use between the first and second interview, before the chair sits empty.
Built for the way small businesses hire.
