HospitalRecruiting.com from $150/posting

The short answer

  • DocCafe : Unlimited physician and APP posts on every package, with search filtered by recent candidate activity. From Quote-based

Why people look past HospitalRecruiting.com

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.

What we noted

  • 3-month minimum on subscriptions
  • Database size not published
  • No named ATS integrations

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

Worth keeping in mind: 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.

What each one does differently

PhysEmp

$150/job/mo

Why it comes up: Physician-focused board with $150/mo job ads and AI matching on its annual plan.

Stands out: The entry price is low and flexible: $150 a month per job, recurring, with no contract, and responses go straight to your inbox. On the annual platform, AI matching and candidate intelligence sit beside direct physician database search, so one contract covers posting and sourcing.

Watch out: Single-ad buyers get no login or dashboard, only emailed responses, and the database and AI matching are annual-plan features with no published price. The vendor does not name ATS integrations.

Best for

  • Physician recruiters testing a board month to month
  • Hospitals wanting one annual contract for posting and database search
  • Employers hiring across 300+ physician specialties

DocCafe

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Unlimited physician and APP posts on every package, with search filtered by recent candidate activity.

Stands out: 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: 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.

Best for

  • Hospitals and medical groups with many physician and APP openings to post
  • Recruiters who want to work active job seekers with message tracking
  • Teams hiring NPs, PAs, CRNAs and midwives as well as physicians

NEJM CareerCenter

$775/posting

Why it comes up: Physician-only board with the NEJM brand and CV credits, at $775 to $1,025 per post.

Stands out: Prices are published per posting, which is rare among physician boards, and every posting includes candidate profile download credits valid for 30 days, so you can reach out as well as wait for applicants. The brand is the draw: jobs appear alongside New England Journal of Medicine content across NEJM Group's physician sites.

Watch out: It is physicians only, so APP, nursing and allied roles need another board. At $775 to $1,025 per posting it costs more than most boards, and the CV credits are small (3 to 7) and expire in 30 days. Bulk packages and advertising are quoted.

Best for

  • Hospitals and groups filling individual physician roles
  • Academic and specialty employers who want the NEJM audience
  • Recruiters who want a few CV downloads with each post
