Promoting Ethical Practices

At SHYFT Agency, ethics aren’t a policy document – they’re the way we do business, every day, with every placement.

Coming from the dental industry myself, I know exactly how quickly trust can be lost when shortcuts are taken. SHYFT was built as the opposite of that: a boutique, specialist agency that clinics and clinicians can rely on to do the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Why Ethics Matter in Dental Staffing

Every patient who enters a treatment room expects to be safe, supported and in capable hands. That trust demands absolute responsibility behind the scenes.

We protect:

Patients — through compliant, fully vetted staff.
Clinics — through transparency, clear communication and reliable processes.
Talent — through respect, fairness and honest expectations.

How SHYFT Lives Ethical Practice

1. Specialist, industry-led screening
As a dental specialist who operated at the top of my field, I don’t guess. I know what excellence looks like — clinically and culturally — and I personally evaluate every candidate with that standard in mind.

2. Zero shortcuts in compliance
We verify qualifications, registrations, WWCC/police checks, insurances, experience and role suitability before anyone is placed. If something feels off, we slow down and clarify — we don’t push people into clinics unprepared.

3. Radical transparency
Clinics receive full clarity on who’s coming through their door. Talent receives honest details about expectations, environment, and responsibilities. No half-truths, no surprises.

4. Respectful treatment of talent
We support our clinicians with real care: boundaries, guidance, fair workloads, and genuine advocacy for their career goals. Ethical practice includes the people doing the work.

5. Protecting your reputation — and ours
Every placement reflects on the clinic and on SHYFT. We prioritise long-term trust over fast transactions, always.

Ethics as a Standard, Not a Sales Line

At SHYFT, ethical practice is not something we talk about — it’s how we show up every day. It’s the foundation of our reputation, the core of our leadership, and the reason clinics trust us with their most sensitive, high-risk asset: their people.
