CareJobs.Now vs HealthJobsNationwide

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

CareJobs.Now

$99/job Free tier

Free healthcare job board that pulls every opening from 258 hospitals, health systems and care companies' own career sites each night, with posted pay, about 170,000 jobs at the last check. Employers are listed whether they pay or not; a featured slot is $99 per job for 30 days, or you can run a free tracked pilot and pay per hire. The audience is still small: the board's own employer page reported 18 apply clicks in its last 30 days.

Where CareJobs.Now fits

  • Hospitals and health systems wanting a free extra listing
  • Teams that will test a channel with a tracked pilot first
  • Healthcare recruiters benchmarking posted pay by employer

HealthJobsNationwide fits US hospitals, practices, agencies and pharma employers that want to pay per healthcare job post rather than sign a subscription. A post costs $299 for 30 days, or $999 for ten credits that never expire. Resume access is sold in small packs from $29 for 10 views, so a recruiter can test the database cheaply. Bundles of ongoing job slots plus resume access are quoted.

Where HealthJobsNationwide fits

  • Hospitals posting a few healthcare roles
  • Small practices and agencies
  • Recruiters wanting cheap resume search
  • Pharma and healthcare companies

Where they pull apart

CareJobs.Now

Stands out: Listing is genuinely free and automatic for any employer it reads, and the pricing rules are unusually transparent: featured jobs are labelled and boxed, pay figures cannot be bought, and pay per hire is capped at what your staff referral bonus already pays. Results are counted in your own ATS through a source tag.

Watch out: Traffic is tiny so far, with 18 apply clicks in 30 days published on its own employer page, so a $99 feature buys placement rather than proven reach. Jobs are scraped, so you cannot post a role directly unless your careers site is one it reads, and roughly two thirds of listings carry no posted rate.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers who need guaranteed applicant volume now
  • Agencies wanting to post jobs for clients
  • Recruiters who need a searchable candidate database

HealthJobsNationwide

Stands out: Resume access is sold in small, low-cost packs ($29, $49 or $89) instead of an annual database license. Job credits never expire, and the three-credit pack includes a free repost if a role goes 90 days unfilled.

Watch out: The site gives no audience or traffic figures beyond calling itself the country's largest healthcare talent acquisition network. Featured job pricing is not published.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-healthcare hiring
  • Employers needing published traffic numbers
  • Teams wanting a full ATS
