Australia's pre-vetted dental staff in 24 hours — temp or permanent.
DentaBase.com.au
Problem Statement
Dental practices need reliable staff fast — often to cover short-notice leave, growth, or sudden roster gaps — but traditional recruitment channels are slow, expensive, and filled with noise. Generic job boards don’t surface “ready-to-work” dental talent well, and agency models can add significant cost through placement fees and commissions.
DentaBase.com.au set out to simplify dental hiring by providing Australia-wide access to pre-vetted dental professionals for permanent and temp/locum roles, with a stated 24-hour turnaround — enabling practices (and recruiters) to connect directly with talent without the traditional fee-heavy middleman model.
The Challenge
As a specialist, two-sided recruitment platform, DentaBase needed to:
Build a trusted marketplace that works for practices, recruiters, and dental professionals
Prove speed-to-value (e.g., fill roles quickly) while maintaining quality through pre-vetting / verification pathways
Create an experience where professionals can be discovered and contacted directly (without friction)
Establish a clear commercial model for practices/recruiters that avoids commissions and hidden fees
Our Approach
Powered by Avoca Ventures, DentaBase was positioned as a simple, specialist database-first platform designed to reduce time-to-hire and improve match quality through:
Clear segmentation of core users (Practices / Recruiters / Professionals) and their workflows
A profile-led talent marketplace where professionals create a presence and receive direct opportunities
A direct outreach model (messaging and database access) supported by a flat subscription approach rather than placement commissions
What We Delivered
Marketplace & product experience
Professional profile creation to help candidates get discovered and receive offers
Searchable candidate database access for practices and recruiters
Direct messaging/outreach workflows to accelerate shortlisting and hiring
Support for multiple work types: temp/locum and permanent
Commercial model & positioning
“Simple subscription” access with no placement fees / no commission positioning
Value proposition aligned to speed and transparency (e.g., “ready to work”, faster turnaround)
The Outcome
DentaBase positions itself as Australia’s premier dental recruitment platform, reporting marketplace traction including 2,500+ active candidates, 450+ practices served, and a 98% placement rate.
By focusing on a specialist database, direct connections, and a transparent pricing model, the platform aims to help practices hire faster — including urgent temp coverage — while giving dental professionals a free way to be discovered by employers.
Key outcomes included:
Business readiness and discovery enabled us to define a North Star, product strategy, problem statement, value proposition, and a core feature roadmap—ready for MVP monetisation.
A successful MVP launch with strong early adoption from hiring managers within 30 days, using a test-and-learn approach against key objectives and revenue targets working toward a 90 day outcome.
Streamlined hiring workflows through automated candidate matching and scheduling.
A bold, user-friendly brand identity that resonates with modern businesses.
A scalable product foundation designed for new features and global expansion.
A clear value proposition that delivers faster hires with zero recruiter fees.
