Henry Schein Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the largest distributor of health care products and services to office-based dental, medical and veterinary practitioners, and Iscopia, a leading provider of online recruitment and applicant qualification technology, today announced the launch of The Henry Schein Dental Hiring Solution – a unique, easy-to-use online tool that facilitates hiring. The new system is available exclusively through Henry Schein Dental, and helps users categorize prospective employees by matching candidates’ credentials to job openings.

“The Henry Schein Dental Hiring Solution has fundamentally changed the way we hire new staff.  It is extremely well-organized, customizable, and completely Web-based. I will never go back to my old methods,” said Dr. Fred Peck, DDS, AAACD, a dentist from Cincinnati, Ohio. "The software helps to categorize prospective employees by job title and qualifications, while eliminating staff interruptions with phone calls and e-mails.”

Leveraging Iscopia’s award-winning AQS™ platform, the Henry Schein Dental Hiring Solution is a user-friendly online solution specifically created to answer the specific hiring requirements of dentists. It features six of the most common dental job profiles, including dental hygienist, dental office manager, and dental treatment coordinator, among others. Each job comes as a hiring kit including a customizable, pre-built job description; job-specific online tests and questionnaires; candidate ranking reports; interview guides; reference checks; and much more. The Henry Schein Dental Hiring Solution also provides seamless access to the most popular job boards, enabling dentists to publish job openings at the click of a mouse. The job-specific content, processes, and services are then wrapped by Iscopia in a secure, scalable technology platform, AQS™, leveraging the power of software-as-a-service to deliver world-class hiring capabilities over the Internet for a single fee per job opening, at a fraction of the cost one would expect for such services.

“Our new hiring solution is a comprehensive, effective solution that extends our dental technology offering into the acquisition space,” said Bruce Lieberthal, Vice President, Emerging Technologies, for Henry Schein.  “For years, dental practitioners have sought a method to better manage the hiring process.  This valuable new tool will help our dental customers more efficiently choose qualified candidates that meet their practice needs.”

“We are extremely pleased to be associated with a partner of the stature of Henry Schein Dental,” said François Plamondon, President and CEO of Iscopia Software. He added, “Henry Schein has an unparalleled history of offering innovative products to dentists and the Dental Hiring Solution is no exception, providing dentists with all the tools necessary to make better hiring decisions, simply, quickly and economically.”
