# VA Hiring Circle > A free, invite-only membership for work playbooks, VA hiring, AI automation, and AI agents. Everything arrives by email. We first remove, improve, automate, and build AI agents. If a person is still the answer, members get help choosing from 500+ global VA agencies. VA Hiring Circle is a free, invite-only membership that helps businesses decide what work should exist, how it should run, and who or what should handle it. It is not a virtual assistant agency: we sell no tool, agency, or assistant. Everything is requested and delivered by email, with no portal or password. Live today for dental practices: dentists, office managers, and practice teams. More industries are being mapped. ## How the decision works We start with the work, not the hire. Each recurring job goes to the simplest option that can work. The cost ranges below are what each option typically costs a business. They are not VA Hiring Circle's fee. 1. Remove - $0. Deleted work never costs you again. 2. Improve - Days, not dollars. A process fix, once. 3. Automate - $250-650 a month per recurring job. 4. AI agent - $1,700-3,300 a month. Covers the routine 40-60% of a role, with a person still in charge. (An employee doing this whole role costs $4,200-6,700 a month.) 5. Person - $1,250-7,100 a month, depending on who and where. Worth it when judgment is the job. - [How It Works](https://vahiringcircle.com/how-it-works/): How to decide whether work needs a better process, a virtual assistant, an AI agent, a workflow automation, or a mix. - [AI Agents](https://vahiringcircle.com/ai-agents/): When an agent is right, members get a blueprint that defines exactly what it owns. Blueprints are live for the Dental Practice Circle. ## What you get Membership is free and invite-only. Email partner@tryvhc.com from your work email and we decide within 7 business days. Members get Circle Partner (an email line to us, with answers drawn from what the whole Circle knows) and consultations, curated Library picks and emailed kits (playbooks, AI workflow templates, agent blueprints, and tool scorecards), requirement scoping, agency selection and introductions for hiring offshore talent, a monthly briefing, and first access to new resources. The library and agency directory are also open to read. Building AI agents and AI workflows, and virtual assistant onboarding, training, SOPs, and management, are quoted separately. ## Dental Practice Circle: 12 Workstations - [Dental Practice Circle](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/): A free, invite-only membership for dental practices, with playbooks for each of the 12 Workstations, Circle Partner, hiring support, and more. ### Patient flow - [Phones & Front Desk](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/phones-front-desk/): The first conversation, the next appointment, and a clear handoff to the team. - [New Patient Intake](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/new-patient-intake/): Get the paperwork and records ready before the first visit. - [Scheduling & Recall](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/scheduling-recall/): Keep patients returning and give open chair time a useful next step. - [Treatment Plan Follow-Up](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/treatment-plan-follow-up/): Help patients understand the next step after a treatment plan is presented. ### Revenue - [Insurance Verification](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/insurance-verification/): Check benefits before the appointment and flag what coverage won't pay for before the visit. - [Claims & Billing](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/claims-billing/): Move claims forward and keep payment follow-up organized. ### Reputation & growth - [Reviews & Reputation](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/reviews-reputation/): Listen after the visit and handle feedback with care. - [Marketing & Acquisition](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/marketing-acquisition/): Turn local interest into inquiries the practice can follow up. ### Back office - [Bookkeeping & Payroll](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/bookkeeping-payroll/): Keep the financial records current and ready for authorized review. - [Compliance & HR](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/compliance-hr/): Keep staff administration and compliance evidence easy to find. - [Inventory & Labs](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/inventory-labs/): Keep supplies and lab cases in step with the appointment book. - [Owner's Office](https://vahiringcircle.com/dentist/workstations/owners-office/): Give the owner a short, reliable picture of how the practice is doing. ## Agency directory - [Virtual assistant agency directory](https://vahiringcircle.com/agencies/): Source-backed research on 500+ VA agencies, comparing support model, commitment, pricing, talent location, and role fit.
