Show Notes

• This week, Dr. Glenn Vo was super excited to have the Founder and CEO of OnDiem, Joe Fogg, on the podcast. Glenn has been trying to get Joe to speak on the Nifty Thrifty Podcast for some time now, but Joe might just be the busiest man in dentistry.
• OnDiem is a staffing agency that has modernized the temp agency. Instead of technology leveraging humans, OnDiem is all about humans leveraging technology to help their customers—customers like Glenn.
• OnDiem’s name comes from the services they provide. When you think of “on-demand,” you might think of television services. However, OnDiem aims to give an “on-demand” service for dental practices that are looking to hire a hygienist.
• About two or three months ago, Glenn had a staffing issue—there was a lack of hygienists in his dental practice. While OnDiem didn’t have much of a presence in Texas at that point, Joe was able to lend Glenn a hand.
• Those same hygienists that Joe helped Glenn to find turned out to stick around, too—they’re still working for Glenn at his dental practice.
• Joe was able to help Glenn thanks to how hard he and his team have been working behind the scenes. They’ve been building a significant population to cover the entire country, launching a massive national rollout with so many initiatives.
• Joe believes that humans have opportunities in “per diem” and “carpe diem.” Over 50% of hygienists are part-time, meaning they have extra days off and more opportunities to earn money. They have an opportunity to go earn some extra money and get more exposure to other dental practices, learn more, etc.
• Joe and his team at OnDiem have learned that most private dental practices don’t have HR or a payroll—they outsource that to their CPA. When it comes to working with other temp agencies, it can be a headache and a hassle to go through all the paperwork.
• OnDiem built a staffing system that would eliminate the stress, facilitate the process, and make it easy to find a temporary hygienist without all of the risk involved in working with alternative temping agencies.
• One of the best things about OnDiem is that they don’t charge you a cent until they’ve actually delivered value to your dental practice. They have something called the “OneShift Guarantee” which means they don’t charge you until one shift has been completed.
