Darby Dental Supply Invests in Staffing Provider onDiem

Darby Dental Supply has partnered with onDiem to provide its customers with a discount to the on-demand staffing platform for dental professionals.

Darby Dental Supply, one of the nation’s largest dental distributors, announced a strategic partnership with onDiem, a national on-demand staffing platform that connects dental practices with verified dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and front office professionals.

The collaboration aims to provide a modern solution for everyday staffing, HR, and payroll needs.

At the core of this partnership is Darby and onDiem’s shared passion for helping dentists thrive through solutions that solve real problems. onDiem provides value to a two-sided marketplace, connecting dental professionals with flexible employment opportunities while giving hiring practices access to qualified, fully vetted, and on-demand employees.

“The future of temporary staffing in the dental industry relies on a modern, flexible approach, which onDiem provides on a national scale,” said Michael Caputo, president of Darby Dental Supply. “With this partnership, Darby customers will have all the tools necessary to implement hiring workflows that they can grow with, not grow out of. Alongside the team at onDiem, we look forward to transforming the way dental professionals hire and look for work.”

Now available to Darby customers at a discounted rate, onDiem makes it easy for practices to search for qualified, pre-vetted dental professionals within their community.

Dentists can hire temporary employees without having to worry about compliance, onboarding, payroll, and benefits – which is all handled directly by onDiem. On the careers side, job seekers can use onDiem to find their next opportunity and enjoy the benefits of flexible work schedules at predetermined hourly pay rates.

While paying temporary staff as independent 1099 contractors is not new to the dental industry, most dentists don’t realize the risk of this practice, according to Darby. onDiem ensures all temps are covered by malpractice and workers compensation insurance and meet local state requirements – protecting practices from any legal or compliance issues.

The platform also offers free temp-to-perm conversion for those interested in retaining the temporary employees they hire.

By working closely with customers to understand their rapidly changing needs and pain points, onDiem is continuously tweaking its product and building upon its suite of offerings to grow with them.

Among the platform’s latest innovations is ClearPay – a tool that gives transparency to the cost of temporary staffing. ClearPay eliminates the mystery of what it really costs to hire a temp safely by providing a full breakdown pay for each shift.

The company also recently introduced the onDiem OneShift Guarantee, allowing practices to subscribe to the service risk-free. With the OneShift Guarantee, practices pay nothing until they have filled their first shift.

“At onDiem, we are changing hearts and minds about how staffing and payroll get done “Our partnership with Darby reflects our shared entrepreneurial spirit and goal of proactively solving everyday problems for both dental practices and dental professionals,” said Joe Fogg, founder and chief executive officer of onDiem. “By taking the hassle and worry out of paying temporary staff, onDiem helps dentists stay compliant so they can focus on what’s most important to them – growing their business and ensuring patients have ready access to high quality care.”
