CareJobs.Now vs HospitalRecruiting.com

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

Healthcare job board with some of the clearest pricing in the category: $150 for a 90-day posting, or slot subscriptions from $400/mo for 25 jobs, and every package includes candidate database search and bulk messaging. Best for hospitals, groups and agencies that want cheap, predictable posting plus a database to work, rather than a premium physician brand.

Where HospitalRecruiting.com fits

  • Hospitals and groups posting many healthcare roles on a set budget
  • Staffing agencies that need interchangeable job slots
  • Recruiters who want database search and bulk messaging included
  • Teams testing a new board with one low-cost post

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

HospitalRecruiting.com

Stands out: Everything is priced on the site, from a single $150 post to a $2,000/mo plan for 250 interchangeable job slots, and database search, bulk messaging, job alerts, candidate tracking and analytics come with every package rather than as upsells. A 90-day post is three times the run of a typical 30-day listing.

Watch out: Subscriptions need a 3-month initial commitment, and unlimited plans are quoted. The vendor does not publish the size of its candidate database or name ATS integrations, so ask how many active candidates sit in your specialty before committing to a slot plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Employers who want a premium physician-only brand
  • Teams needing a named ATS integration
  • Buyers who cannot commit to three months on a subscription
