Bottom line
Job board for physicians and advanced practice providers where every package includes unlimited job posts, plus search and in-app messaging across a pool of self-registered job seekers the vendor puts above 400,000. Pricing is custom and quoted after a demo. Best for hospitals, groups and physician recruiters who want to post every opening and work candidates who are actively looking, rather than source passive physicians.
Stands out for: Job posts are unlimited on every package, so a recruiter with dozens of openings pays nothing extra per listing, and posts are pushed across DocCafe's job board network. The candidate search leans on activity: a candidate counts as active only if they logged in within the last 30 days, and messages carry open and click tracking, so you can see who is engaging. A free Physician Market Trends dashboard reports demand by specialty each month.
Watch out for: The pool is self-registered job seekers, so it favours physicians who are actively looking over passive candidates. Prices are not published, and the vendor documents no ATS integration or API. The vendor's own pages give different pool sizes (356,000+ and 400,000+), so treat the headline number as approximate.
