The program offers pro bono hiring services to clinics
providing free dental care
BELLEVUE, Wash., July 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jobley, a hiring platform for US
healthcare professionals operated by Medley (TSE: 4480), a
Japan-based health tech group,
launches its Nonprofit Support Program. With Jobley's current focus
on the dental sector, this program extends pro bono service to
nonprofit dental clinics, which provide free, quality dental care
to people who are low-income or uninsured. These clinics support
oral health and well-being among underserved communities.
Jobley launches Nonprofit Support Program
for dental clinics serving people in need.
For FY 2024, in response to requests from eligible nonprofit
clinics, Jobley will offer its standard dental hiring services free
of charge. As the program rolls out, Jobley will remain committed
to continuous improvement, responding to feedback from potential
participants as well as pressing societal needs surrounding dental
care access in the United
States.
Access to oral healthcare is a critical challenge faced by many
Americans. Unmet oral health needs are especially prevalent among
those who are low-income and uninsured. A 2023 survey by the
CareQuest Institute for Oral Health found that around 27% of adults
do not have dental insurance, compared to 9% without health
insurance, and that approximately one-third of Medicare and
Medicaid participants lack dental coverage as well. This gap in
care not only leads to challenging oral conditions, but also
undermines peoples' health and well-being, and impacts their
economic opportunities and contributions at a societal level.
By providing free, high-quality care to those with the greatest
need, nonprofit dental clinics play a critical role in addressing
this systemic issue. To support these practices, Jobley will begin
offering pro bono hiring services through its Nonprofit Support
Program.
Because many free clinics rely on grants, donations, and
volunteers to provide their service, the cost of hiring core staff
can pose a significant burden. Jobley's free services allow these
clinics to streamline the hiring process and find the best
candidates. The funds saved on recruitment can be redirected to
support these clinics' mission to provide essential dental care for
underserved communities.
"Many issues in the healthcare industry remain unresolved
because they do not lead to short-term profits," said Kohei Takiguchi, Founder and CEO of Medley, who
also leads Medley's US business, Jobley. "Our group is dedicated to
solving issues in healthcare and supporting patient-centered care.
Through our new program, we'd like to support initiatives that
break the correlation between poverty, inaccessible dental care,
and poor health outcomes."
While addressing the long-term demand for talent matching in the
US healthcare sector, Jobley will also continue to enhance its
Nonprofit Support Program by staying attuned to societal needs.
Supporting and partnering with various stakeholders, Jobley aspires
to be an indispensable resource to healthcare providers, patients,
and society.
For Nonprofit Clinics
For the FY 2024 program, which runs through December 31st, Jobley will accept applications
until the end of December 2024. For FY 2025, Jobley intends
to improve the program based on learnings from FY24, with further
details yet to be determined.

Upon request, Jobley will review each clinic's eligibility and
discuss opportunities for customized support.
