CareJobs.Now vs Vivian Health

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

Vivian Health

Quote-based

Healthcare jobs marketplace, formerly NurseFly, with a network the vendor puts at 2.8 million nurses, allied health professionals, therapists and APPs, where both staffing agencies and health systems post jobs and recruit. An AI assistant engages and screens candidates around the clock. Pricing is quoted. Best for staffing agencies and health systems hiring nurses and allied staff at volume, not physician recruiters.

Where Vivian Health fits

  • Healthcare staffing agencies placing travel and per diem nurses
  • Hospitals and health systems hiring nurses and allied staff at volume
  • Recruiters who want AI screening before the first call
  • Agencies that need pay-rate market data

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

Vivian Health

Stands out: It is where many nurses and allied professionals already look for work, so jobs are pushed to active clinicians in real time rather than waiting for a search. The AI assistant screens candidates against each role's requirements before a recruiter picks them up, and agencies get Universal Profiles, AI-written proposals and Vivian IQ pay-rate data in the same account.

Watch out: Pricing is not published, and ATS syncing is included only on qualifying plans; the vendor does not name which ATS or VMS systems it connects to. The audience is nurses, allied health and APPs, not physicians. Performance figures such as 4x engagement and 15% more placements are the vendor's own.

Not the right fit for

  • Physician recruiting
  • Teams needing a named ATS integration on every plan
  • Buyers wanting published self-serve pricing

Vivian Health

  • Large nurse, allied and APP audience already job hunting
  • AI assistant screens candidates 24/7
  • Pay-rate market data for agencies
  • No published pricing
  • ATS syncing only on qualifying plans
  • Not built for physician hiring
