Built for UK Dentistry.

We work exclusively within the UK dental sector. That focus, combined with modern search technology, allows us to understand the market in detail and access talent beyond those actively applying for roles.

Our approach is search-led and considered. We cut through the noise, map the market properly, and connect practices with professionals who make sense for both the role and the environment.

By staying focused on NHS and private dentistry, we support practices that want to raise standards in patient care, compliance, and sustainable growth.

Meet John

John runs Elev8 Search Group with a single focus: delivering better recruitment outcomes within UK dentistry. Having worked closely with practices and dental professionals across the sector, his approach is built on clarity, judgement, and long-term fit rather than quick wins.

Who We Support.

Employers

We partner with independent practices and dental groups who want a more deliberate approach to hiring, one that prioritises fit, stability, and long-term performance over volume.

Candidates

We work with dental professionals who want their next move to make sense. Our focus is on roles that align with your experience, ambitions, and the reality of the practice.

How We Work

We combine intelligent market mapping with proper conversations, allowing us to engage experienced clinicians and managers who aren’t actively applying but are open to the right opportunity. This gives practices access to a wider, more relevant talent pool without relying on job boards alone or rushing decisions that don’t hold up long-term.

What We Stand For

Focus — dentistry only

Integrity — honest conversations

Judgement — quality over volume

Partnership — long-term thinking

Consistency — clear process, every time

Impact — hires that actually stick

John took the time to properly understand how our practice operates before introducing anyone. The shortlist was small, relevant, and every candidate made sense. The hire settled quickly and is still with us.

What stood out with Elev8 was the clarity and communication throughout the process. There was no pressure, no overpromising, just a straightforward approach that delivered the right person.

We’ve worked with agencies before, but this felt more considered. John understood the role and the team dynamic, which made a big difference to the outcome.

The process felt refreshingly honest. I was given clear information about the role and the practice, and there was no pressure at all. If you're even considering a move, John is the go to person.

John was upfront about what would and wouldn’t be a good fit. That honesty helped me make a better decision and avoid a move that wouldn’t have worked long-term.

Let’s Build Something Better

Whether you’re growing your team or making your next move, we’ll back you with recruitment that actually delivers. No fluff, no time wasting, just smart, purposeful hiring.
