Dental Team Finder

What Dental Team Finder does

Dental Team Finder is a US-based, dental-exclusive talent acquisition firm founded in 2015 (firmographics list 2014) and headquartered in Cedar Park, Texas. It operates a boutique, human-driven recruitment practice that connects dental practices, dental service organizations (DSOs), and dental manufacturers/orthodontic companies with associate dentists, hygienists, sales professionals, and C-level executives. The firm runs two primary service lines — Associate Recruiting and Executive Recruiting — both backed by a 90-day placement guarantee and a full-cycle process covering sourcing, screening, reference and licensing checks, background verification, social-media review, negotiation facilitation, and onboarding support. Supporting products include a candidate resume database with standard and private posting tiers, a job opportunities board, a hiring-news blog, and mock-interview training videos on YouTube.

The business model is professional-services placement-fee based and transactionally oriented: revenue is earned upon successful placement of candidates with employers, with quote-based pricing (not publicly disclosed) and multi-year engagement contracts. The go-to-market combines consultative enterprise sales to dental employers with a self-serve online portal for candidate intake and resume submission, supplemented by content marketing, a multi-platform social media presence, and attendance at industry events such as the AAO Annual Session. The company employs 1-10 people and is led by Co-Founder & President Keith McLachlan, who brings over 20 years of dental industry experience from prior roles at Brasseler USA and Align Technology. There is no disclosed proprietary technology platform, no AI/automation tooling, no institutional funding, and no parent company — positioning the firm as a founder-led, relationship-anchored micro-boutique rather than a venture-backed scale player.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Indeed: Indeed is the largest generalist job board and is widely used by dental practices, DSOs, and manufacturers for associate, hygienist, and sales hiring. It does not specialize in dental, but its scale and pricing model pressure DTF on lower-end placements and candidate sourcing.
• LinkedIn (Talent Solutions): LinkedIn is the dominant professional network and a major source for executive and sales recruiting in dental manufacturing, DSOs, and orthodontics. It overlaps with DTF in the executive search segment and is often the default channel for in-house dental employer recruiting teams.
• Robert Half: Robert Half is a large, publicly traded staffing and recruiting firm with a dedicated healthcare and dental practice. It serves as a broad incumbent that overlaps with DTF on executive and sales roles in dental manufacturers and DSOs, offering more geographic reach and a broader candidate database but with less vertical specialization.
• Heidrick & Struggles: Heidrick & Struggles is a global executive search firm with a healthcare and life sciences practice that serves dental manufacturers and large DSOs for C-level searches. It is comparable to DTF on the executive search side, with substantially greater scale, international reach, and price points for board and C-suite mandates.

Direct peers

• iHireDental: iHireDental is part of the iHire network and provides a vertical job board dedicated to dental professionals. It is comparable as a dental-specialized talent marketplace, addressing the same candidate-employer matching problem with a self-serve, job-board delivery model rather than full-service recruiting.
• DentalPost: DentalPost is a dental-specific job board and networking platform connecting dental professionals with employers. It competes with DTF in the associate and dental hygienist placement funnel, particularly for self-serve, lower-touch roles, and is often the first stop for practices doing their own hiring.
• ETS Dental: ETS Dental is a dental-exclusive recruitment firm placing dentists and dental professionals across the U.S. It is the closest direct peer to Dental Team Finder, with a similar vertical-specialization thesis, hands-on recruiter model, and focus on associate and permanent placement for dental practices.
• Health eCareers: Health eCareers is a healthcare-focused job board and recruitment platform covering dental, nursing, allied health, and physician roles. It competes with DTF specifically in the dental segment via job postings, resume search, and employer branding, serving a similar employer base of practices, DSOs, and manufacturers.
• PracticeMatch: PracticeMatch provides physician, dentist, and advanced practice clinician recruitment data and services, including job placement, candidate sourcing, and CV data. It overlaps with DTF in dental associate and specialist placement and is used by practices and DSOs to identify passive candidates.

Emerging players

• GoTu: GoTu is a tech-enabled dental staffing platform that matches dental professionals (hygienists, assistants) with practices on a flexible, often temp basis. It represents the emerging model of dental talent marketplaces, overlapping DTF's candidate pool but competing on speed and price rather than full-service placement.
