We\u2019ve grown from a two-person operation to a thriving tech company with more than 150 dedicated employees. We\u2019ve launched our recruiting services division and added shifts for dental assistants and, in some states, dentists. We\u2019ve made countless updates to our platform and expanded from our home in Miami into more than 30 states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>We\u2019ve gotten to see some of the absolute best that dentistry has to offer\u2014incredibly talented and devoted professionals offering the highest possible patient care while bettering their lives, working in tremendous offices that push the limits of innovation and set new standards every single day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Over time, we\u2019ve worked incredibly hard to become the \u201cgo-to\u201d option for staffing in the dental community.<\/p>\n\n<p>And now, it\u2019s my pleasure to announce the latest (and greatest) change at TempMee. Throughout the next couple of months, <strong>TempMee will become GoTu.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gotu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/primary-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6362 lazyload\" width=\"526\" height=\"263\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gotu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/primary-logo.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gotu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/primary-logo-300x150.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 526px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 526\/263;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Rebranding a company our size is an incredibly challenging task, so why take this on now?<\/p>\n\n<p>There are many great reasons, but these are my personal favorites:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"list-spaced has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-list\">\n<li>We aren\u2019t a temp agency; we\u2019re a technology company with the industry\u2019s best marketplace for dental talent (hence our new slogan, \u201cGoTu, Where Tech Meets Talent\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our recruiting services team is <em>really <\/em>tired of explaining that, yes, we do offer permanent recruiting services, too. It\u2019s actually a large chunk of our business and we\u2019re proud to have placed over 1,500 professionals to date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The professionals who use our platform deserve terminology that recognizes their excellence and their commitment to their careers. Rather than referring to temps, we now focus on skill sharing; we feel it better reflects the training they\u2019ve completed, the care they provide, and the value they bring to practices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>The process of choosing a new brand identity took more than six months, most of which was spent finding a name we felt was special enough to exemplify what we\u2019ve built over the last four years. Finally, one of our talented designers, Jenny, had an inspiration. Finding our new identity in-house was special, as Jenny was one of the earliest TempMee team members and designed the original platform and website.<\/p>\n\n<p>GoTu is all about being your trusted resource. It\u2019s the friend you can always count on, the partner that\u2019s always there. It\u2019s also a really fun name that has a few layers to it.<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"list-spaced wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pronunciation is up to you: \u201cGo To\u201d is our preference, but \u201cGot You\u201d (as in, we\u2019ve got your back) also works.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cTu\u201d in Spanish means \u201cyou,\u201d so a fun (if grammatically challenging) interpretation is \u201cGo You!\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s short, simple, and has strong positive connections.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/gotu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/secondary.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6364 lazyload\" width=\"526\" height=\"263\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gotu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/secondary.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gotu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/secondary-300x150.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 526px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 526\/263;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>You\u2019ll start seeing the new GoTu branding in a few places starting today, most notably on our social media accounts and in-person events. Over the next couple of weeks, you may notice our website switch over and some slight color adjustments to the app and web portal, with logos also shifting to GoTu over time as well. You won\u2019t experience any interruptions to our platform\u2014your existing login credentials, account information, app, etc. will all remain the same. No need to change anything!<\/p>\n\n<p>I\u2019d like to personally thank you for your continued trust and support.
