Today marks a significant moment for dental recruitment in the UK. We are proud to launch Diamond Direct Hire: a platform built from the ground up to connect dental professionals and the practices that want to hire them - without agencies, without commissions, and without compromise.
Why We Built This
Anyone who has worked in dental recruitment knows the frustration. Agencies charge 10% or more of an annual salary, candidates are treated as commodities, and practices often pay thousands of pounds only to find a poor fit. Job seekers, meanwhile, hand over their CVs and lose all control of the process.
We believed there had to be a better way. A platform where dental practices can browse and connect with candidates for free, where job seekers remain anonymous until they choose to share their identity, and where the only fee is a single flat charge of £1,000 paid only when a hire is confirmed.
That platform is Diamond Direct Hire. And it is available right now.
Everything Employers Get
Dental practices joining as founding employers get full access to the platform from day one. Here is exactly what is included:
- Free to register — no upfront cost, no subscription
- Browse all verified dental professionals at no charge
- Advanced filtering by role, region, specialism and salary
- Send unlimited connection requests to candidates
- Invite candidates to interview directly through the platform
- Extend formal, structured job offers in-platform
- Manage responses and track every candidate through the pipeline
- Only pay a single flat fee of £1,000 when a hire is confirmed
- No percentage fees, no hidden costs, no agency markups
The numbers speak for themselves. A traditional agency placing a dental hygienist on a £35,000 salary would charge upwards of £3,500. With Diamond Direct Hire, you pay £1,000 only when the hire is confirmed. That is a saving of at least £2,500 on a single placement.
Everything Job Seekers Get
For dental professionals, Diamond Direct Hire is and will always be completely free. Here is what joining means for you:
- Completely free to register and use, forever
- Build an anonymous professional profile — your identity stays private
- Get discovered by dental practices actively hiring
- You control which employers can contact you
- Review connection requests before accepting
- Receive and review formal interview invitations in one place
- Accept or decline interview invites on your own terms
- Receive structured job offers with full salary and contract details
- Accept or decline offers with no pressure and no obligation
- No agency involvement, no commission taken from your salary
A Platform for Founding Members
We are opening Diamond Direct Hire to a founding group of employers and job seekers who want to be part of something new. Founding members help shape the product. Their feedback directly influences what we build next. In return, they get the founding member rate, access to every new feature as it launches, and the satisfaction of being first.
Founding employer spots are limited. If you are a dental practice looking to hire smarter, or a dental professional ready to take control of your next career move, now is the time to join.
What Comes Next
Diamond Direct Hire is live today and we are already working on what comes next. Enhanced search and matching, richer candidate profiles, practice branding tools, and more. Every feature we build will be shaped by the founding community.
If you have questions, ideas, or feedback, we want to hear from you. This is your platform as much as it is ours.
Welcome to Diamond Direct Hire. Let us change dental recruitment together.
