Why it comes up: Healthcare board from $150 per 90-day post with full candidate database access, far cheaper per role.
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.
Best for
- 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

Why it comes up: Physician board with an opted-in candidate database and its own recruitment CRM, sold as modules.
Stands out: The candidate database is opt-in only, so every physician you find has chosen to hear from recruiters, and the vendor backs it with live activity figures: 35,000+ active jobs, 50,000+ active job seekers and 14,000+ job responses in the last 30 days. It is one of the few physician boards that also sells its own recruitment CRM, so postings, responses and candidate tracking sit in one system.
Watch out: Nothing is priced publicly, and posting, sourcing, CRM, advertising and events are separate modules, so costs build as you add them. The focus is physicians; the vendor's pages say little about advanced practitioners or nursing. The vendor documents no ATS integration or API.
Best for
- Hospital and medical group physician recruiters
- Teams that want a physician-specific CRM alongside the job board
- Recruiters who use career fairs to meet physicians

Why it comes up: Reaches passive physicians inside the network most already use, instead of waiting for applicants.
Stands out: The candidates are active users of a network they open for clinical work, so messages arrive in an app physicians check anyway rather than a crowded inbox. The vendor reports DocMail response rates around 24%, several times the 2-4% it cites for industry email, and one behavioral health customer reports click-through in the high 40s to mid 50s. Coverage extends to about two thirds of NPs and PAs and more than 90% of graduating medical students.
Watch out: Pricing is not published and is sold after a demo. Outreach is built around messaging inside Doximity; the vendor does not describe exporting emails or phone numbers for your own campaigns, and documents no ATS integration or API, so tracking lives in its own reporting. Response-rate figures are the vendor's own.
Best for
- Health systems and medical groups recruiting passive physicians
- Physician search and locum firms working hard-to-fill specialties
- Teams recruiting NPs and PAs alongside physicians
