TempStars was built by a practising dentist for fellow dental professionals — we understand the stress of an unpredictable job market and the frustration of being hassled and undervalued by agencies.

Built by a dentist, for the profession. TempStars was founded in 2015 by Dr. James Younger, a practising dentist (University of Toronto, 1999). It is the #1 dental temping and hiring platform in North America — not an agency, and proud of it.
