When another one-off search is not enough
PaaS may fit when the same roles reopen, several locations need clinicians, growth creates repeated demand, or internal recruiters cannot give every priority market sustained attention.
If you have one isolated opening and a healthy recruiting process, a focused search may be enough. The goal is the right scope, not a larger engagement.
What MBS delivers
-
Agreed market coverage: priorities based on roles, locations, timing, and the opportunity available.
-
Ongoing clinician engagement: outreach and follow-up beyond active applicants.
-
Qualified introductions: candidates reviewed against the documented requirements and interested in entering your hiring process.
-
Pipeline visibility: reporting on introductions, current status, market response, and issues that need attention.
-
Recurring review: a shared discussion of delivery, candidate progression, and whether the scope remains right.
Know what is new, qualified, and moving.
A sourced name is not the same as a qualified introduction. And a qualified introduction is not automatically new to your team.
We agree the qualification and candidate-ownership process before work begins. The reporting should make clear which introductions expand your active pipeline and where candidates are moving, or waiting, inside the hiring process.
Illustrative operating review:
Hypothetical reporting-month example. These figures are not client results, benchmarks, delivery targets, or commitments.
Role / market coverage: Six priority openings across four states: four general dentists, one endodontist, one oral surgeon
Qualified introductions: 13 during the example reporting month
Net-New introductions: 12 of those 13 were new to the client’s active pipeline under the agreed ownership rules
Candidate movement / current stage: Of those 13: five awaiting screens, four in first interviews, three awaiting office visits, one at offer stage
Aging / days waiting: The five awaiting screens have waited 10–12 days
Decisions required / owner: TA lead schedules screens; office leaders confirm interviews and visits; hiring leader reviews the offer
Start with a defined scope. Expand when the results support it.
Before launch, we agree the roles, markets, engagement term, fees, qualification criteria, delivery commitments, and review cadence. These are documented in the proposal and agreement.
Use the initial engagement to assess market response, pipeline quality, working fit, and the decisions needed to improve hiring. Continue or expand when the evidence supports it. Adjust the model when the need changes.
PaaS, focused search, or embedded recruiting?
Focused search
Best fit: A defined hiring need.
Recruiting support centered on the agreed opening or search scope.
Pipeline-as-a-Service
Best fit: Recurring clinician pipeline needs.
Ongoing external pipeline delivery and reporting while your team retains its hiring process.
Embedded recruiting
Best fit: Sustained capacity needed within internal recruiting.
Dedicated support aligned more closely with your team’s systems, priorities, and workflow.
Shared visibility. Clear responsibilities.
MBS owns the agreed recruiting work, qualification, introductions, and reporting. Your organization owns interviews, selection, compensation, offers, credentialing, onboarding, and employment decisions. We agree how priorities, feedback, and candidate reviews will work together.
Success is not measured by outreach volume alone. Review the quality and freshness of introductions, net-new contribution, role coverage, and candidate movement.
Hiring outcomes matter too, but they must be evaluated with the opportunity, client process, and time required for candidates to progress.
Pipeline-as-a-Service is one delivery model inside a broader Dental Workforce Infrastructure strategy.
The larger operating system connects provider-capacity planning, recruiting capacity, clinician pipelines, hiring velocity, workforce visibility, market intelligence, and growth readiness.
A DSO may build that capability internally, externally, or through a combination of both.

Pipeline-as-a-Service FAQs
Is PaaS a trial or a pilot?
It is paid recruiting work with a defined scope. An initial engagement can help both teams evaluate fit without treating delivery as an experiment. Scope, term, commitments, and continuation decisions are agreed before launch.
Does PaaS guarantee hires?
No. MBS is accountable for the delivery agreed in the engagement. Hiring also depends on candidate decisions, the opportunity, your hiring process, and market conditions.
Must we move to embedded recruiting later?
No. PaaS can remain the right model when your team needs ongoing external pipeline support. Embedded recruiting is appropriate when deeper workflow integration would address the capacity need.
How are pricing and any additional fees handled?
The proposal defines the engagement’s scope and commercial terms. Review the included work, any applicable additional fees, and continuation provisions before launch.
