For recruiters and employers
For hospital and group recruiters, practice administrators and in-house talent teams: compare the boards and agencies on one checklist, price the vacancy, and check what the specialty pays where you are hiring.
Each job board in the directory shows what a posting costs and how long it runs, with the date the price was checked.
A physician search spends money in four places: job postings, agency fees, locum cover while the seat is empty, and the revenue the empty schedule does not earn. Each section below covers one of them, with sources.
General boards, specialty society career centers and journal job sites price postings differently: per post, per month, in bundles, or with a CV database on top. The directory puts each one on the same line.
See the job boardsWhile a position stays open, locum cover keeps the schedule running at a day rate. The locum directory lists which agencies staff which specialties and states, and who carries the malpractice coverage.
See the locum agenciesEach recruiting guide brings together what the specialty pays by state, which boards and agencies carry it, and a worked example of what a vacancy costs.
Offers start from pay data. The salary pages use the federal Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics survey by state and metro area, with the release date and the survey limits stated next to the numbers.
