The Rock Dental Culture: Join the Movement

At Rock Dental Brands, we are a provider-led organization on a mission to revolutionize dental care. We don’t just manage clinics; we provide the Solutions that allow our doctors and staff to change lives.

We are looking for a high-energy Staff Recruiter who views recruiting as a people-first mission. At Rock Dental, you aren't just filling seats; you are building the teams that make our “Rock Star” reputation possible. If you are a relationship-builder who loves the fast-paced nature of clinical staffing and the long-term strategy of university relations, you’ll fit right in.

Job Summary

The Staff Recruiter & University Relations Lead is a pivotal role that ensures our clinics and Solutions Center are staffed with the best talent in the industry.

• 60% of your focus is on high-volume, high-impact Staff & Clinical Recruiting—Dental Assistants, Hygienists, and corporate professionals who keep our organization moving forward.

• 40% of your focus is the strategic leadership of our University & Residency Relations, building sustainable pipelines from dental schools and residency programs nationwide.

Key Responsibilities

1. Staff & Solutions Center Recruiting (60% Focus)

The “Nerve Center” Partner:
Lead full-cycle recruitment for our Solutions Center—hiring professionals in Finance, IT, Marketing, and Operations who support our entire network.

Clinical Excellence:
Partner with Clinic Leads to recruit top-tier Dental Assistants, Hygienists, and Office Managers. You understand that the right hire in a clinic can transform the patient experience.

Strategic & Proactive Sourcing:
You don’t wait for applicants—you go get them. Leverage LinkedIn, ATS tools, social media, job boards, cold outreach, and local networking to identify and engage both active and passive talent.

Hiring Manager Coaching:
Serve as a trusted advisor to leaders by improving interview quality, setting expectations, and reinforcing our “hire for values” culture.

The Candidate Journey:
Deliver a consistent, high-touch candidate experience from first outreach through offer—regardless of outcome.

2. University & Residency Relations (40% Focus)

The Brand Ambassador:
Represent Rock Dental as the employer of choice to dental students and residents. You are the connection that makes a D3, D4, or resident envision their future with us.

Academic Networking:
Build and maintain strong relationships with Deans, Residency Directors, Career Services teams, and student organizations (ASDA, etc.).

Event Innovation:
Plan and execute engaging campus events—lunch-and-learns, mixers, career fairs, and speaking engagements—that differentiate Rock Dental from traditional corporate employers.

Provider Pipeline Management:
Maintain long-term pipelines for General Dentistry, Orthodontics, and Oral Surgery, keeping prospects warm through graduation and residency completion.

Internal Ambassadors:
Coordinate with current Rock Dental doctors to serve as mentors, speakers, and campus representatives.
