Why it comes up: Larger nurse and allied marketplace with AI screening, quoted rather than published.
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.
Best for
- 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

Why it comes up: Permanent hospital nurse hiring with AI matching and an AI interviewer, on a flat per-hire fee.
Stands out: Much of the early funnel is automated: matching, personalized outreach, interview scheduling and a first-round phone interview by an AI voice agent that checks specialties and pitches the employer. The flat fee does not change with the nurse's experience, level or location, and the vendor reports hires in under 20 days against an 80 to 120 day industry norm.
Watch out: The flat fee is not published and comes through a consultation. It is built for permanent nursing roles at hospitals, not travel staffing, physicians or allied health. The vendor documents no ATS integrations, and the speed, retention and savings figures are its own.
Best for
- Hospitals and health systems hiring permanent staff nurses
- Nurse recruiting teams short on screening capacity
- Employers reducing travel and agency nurse spend

Why it comes up: Nurse and clinician contact data with unlimited reveals from $249/mo, for outbound sourcing.
Stands out: The directory lists 1.75M+ verified healthcare contacts (500K+ RNs, 200K+ physicians, 120K+ NPs) with NPI verification, direct email, and phone, plus CSV/Excel export.
Watch out: Essentials caps CSV export at 250 contacts per export. Pro raises that to 2,500 and adds one sourcing request per month. This is a contact file, not an ATS or a sequencer.
Best for
- Healthcare staffing desks that need RN, NP, and allied emails, not just physicians
- Physician recruiters who also cover PTs, pharmacists, and dentists in one login
- Teams that will export to their own CRM and run outreach elsewhere
