Where do these numbers come from?

DMV-market vacancy benchmarks reflect the daily revenue impact of each empty role in an average DMV-area dental practice:

General Dentist · ~$4,600/day — direct doctor chair revenue lost (MGE Management Experts, 2025).
Dental Hygienist · ~$1,300/day — direct hygiene production (Dentx, 2025).
Dental Assistant · ~$1,380/day — based on a 30% reduction in doctor production when running without a chairside DA.
Office Manager · ~$690/day — based on ~15% of doctor time diverted to admin and the cost of operational drag.
Front Office · ~$400/day — missed new-patient calls, no-shows, and unfilled chair time from poor schedule control.

Industry context: Average time-to-fill for clinical dental roles in the DMV is roughly 2.5 months. Gallup (2024) puts the cost of a bad hire at 0.5–2× annual salary — which is why our placement guarantees are 90 days.

Time scaling: Weekly = 5 working days · Monthly = 22 working days · Annual = 250 working days.

"CoreEthos placement" figure shows our minimum permanent placement fee for the selected role. Actual fee is 20–27% of first-year salary depending on role, billed contingency-only — no fee until placement, with a 90-day replacement guarantee.
