How do I set up an interview?

Cloud Dentistry makes it easy to interview professionals before committing to a permanent hire — whether you're testing skill fit, team chemistry, or both. Here's the full flow.

Create a listing with the role, schedule, pay range, and any must-haves — required certifications, software you use, and patient volume. The more specific the post, the better the applicant fit. You can view this article on how to create a job posting!

Review who applies, but don't stop there — search the platform for professionals who match what you're after and reach out directly. A short, personal message tends to get the best response. We recommend keeping all communication on Cloud Dentistry; it protects both sides, prevents miscommunication, and lets our team step in if anything comes up.

Once a professional is interested, agree on a date and format (phone or in-person). If you'll be calling, share your office number — professionals' contact info isn't visible to offices until a booking is accepted. Pick a specific start time so the professional can plan around it (a small thing that signals respect for their time), and aim for at least four hours so both sides have room to evaluate fit without rushing.

A Cloud Dentistry profile — with background, skills, and certifications — usually covers everything a resume would. But if you'd prefer a formal version, just ask through direct message and the professional can attach one, if they haven't already provided you one!

Hands-down the best way to evaluate fit. A temp booking lets you see how the professional works with patients, fits into the team, and handles your office's pace — and your patients still get seen and treated. Whether it's a few hours or a full day, the working interview pays for itself in real, billable chair time.
