Dental Recruiter (Locum Tenens & Permanent Placement)
Proxi Dental Staffing Location: Remote
About the Role
At Proxi, recruiting is the engine of everything we do.
As a Dental Recruiter, you'll build relationships with dental professionals across the country and connect them to opportunities where they can make a real impact. This is a specialized role. Your time is spent where it matters most: finding, qualifying, and delivering great providers.
It's a fit for someone who wants to own their pipeline, move quickly, and get better every day in a performance-driven environment.
What This Role Owns
Recruiting is your full focus. You are not splitting attention across business development, client sales, or account work. You partner with teammates who own those lanes, which means you get to build real depth in sourcing and placing dental talent rather than staying general.

Build a Strong Pipeline
-
Source and engage dental professionals nationwide, including Dentists, Specialists, RDHs & Dental Assistants

Stay proactive. This role rewards people who create their own momentum
Run High-Quality Candidate Screens
-
Have detailed conversations to understand clinical skills, certifications, licensure, experience, preferences, availability, and compensation expectations

Capture the details that actually matter. Surface-level recruiting doesn't work here

Speed matters. Our credentialing and internal processes are built to move quickly
-
Relationships over transactions. We're not trying to win once, we're trying to win repeatedly
