GoTu Technology, the nation's leading dental talent marketplace, and Henry Schein, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSIC), the world's largest provider of health care solutions to office-based dental and medical practitioners, have announced a new strategic partnership designed to help dental practices address ongoing staffing challenges and maintain continuity of patient care.
Through this collaboration between GoTu and Henry Schein Dental Recruitment Services (a division of Henry Schein Financial Enterprises, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Henry Schein), dental practices will gain expanded access to GoTu's technology-enabled platform, which connects offices with qualified dental hygienists, dental assistants, and associate dentists for both temporary and permanent staffing needs. GoTu will now be part of Henry Schein Dental Recruitment Services, which offers a range of services from permanent placement solutions to enterprise-level Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). By combining GoTu's workforce technology with Henry Schein's extensive customer network, the partnership aims to deliver modern, flexible solutions that support practice efficiency and reduce operational strain.
"Staffing shortages continue to be one of the most significant challenges facing dental practices," said Cary Gahm, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of GoTu. "Partnering with Henry Schein allows us to bring reliable, scalable workforce support to more offices across the country. Together, we can help practices stabilize their teams and ensure patients receive uninterrupted, high-quality care."
GoTu's recently released third annual State of Work survey, developed in collaboration with the American Dental Hygienists' Association, continues to underscore the severity of the dental workforce shortage and its impact on practice operations and patient care. The partnership with Henry Schein builds on those insights by expanding access to GoTu's workforce platform through one of dentistry's most trusted customer networks, helping more practices find flexible, scalable support when staffing gaps arise.
"We are pleased to collaborate with GoTu to expand the staffing resources available to our customers," said Mark Hillebrandt, Vice President and Chief Digital Revenue Officer at Henry Schein. "This partnership reflects our commitment to helping dental professionals operate efficient, successful practices and to supporting the long-term health of the dental ecosystem."
GoTu has filled more than 500,000 shifts nationwide, offering practices a streamlined way to manage staffing gaps and maintain productivity. Henry Schein's broad reach and trusted advisor model will help bring these solutions to practices seeking greater flexibility and support during a period of sustained workforce pressure.
"At GoTu, we see our role as helping the dental industry solve one of its most urgent and persistent challenges," said Edward Thomas, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of GoTu. "That requires more than technology alone. It requires partnership, reach, and a shared commitment to supporting the practices and professionals who keep dentistry moving. By working with trusted industry leaders like Henry Schein, we can expand the support GoTu provides and help more dental offices access the workforce solutions they need."
