Profiles Database from Quote-based

The short answer

  • PracticeMatch : Its parent company, with job boards, career fairs and a phone-interviewed database of practicing physicians, better when you hire experienced doctors as well as new grads. From Quote-based
  • Doximity Talent Finder : Reaches more than 90% of graduating medical students and most practicing physicians inside the Doximity network, with in-app messaging instead of email lists. From Quote-based
  • HealthTal : Self-serve clinician contact data with published plans from $249/mo, for broad nurse and allied health sourcing rather than resident-class data. From $249/mo

Why people look past Profiles Database

It is owned by PracticeMatch, so a team already buying PracticeMatch databases should check for overlap before adding it. Pricing is not published. The 4.8 million healthcare provider file is a broad lead list across 70 professions, a different product from the interviewed resident data, and the vendor documents no ATS integrations or API.

What we noted

  • No published pricing
  • Overlaps with PracticeMatch, its parent company
  • No documented ATS integrations or API

Not the right fit for

  • Non-healthcare recruiting
  • Teams already paying for PracticeMatch databases with overlapping coverage
  • Buyers wanting published self-serve pricing

Worth keeping in mind: It concentrates on the graduating class: recruiters can pull entire classes of residents and fellows by specialty and training program, then filter by ties to a state through home, training location, practice preference or spouse. That is the sort that matters most when a rural or hard-to-fill location is recruiting new physicians. Data comes from its own sourcing staff near St. Louis, not third-party or offshore vendors.

What each one does differently

PracticeMatch

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Its parent company, with job boards, career fairs and a phone-interviewed database of practicing physicians, better when you hire experienced doctors as well as new grads.

Stands out: The Pinpoint profiles come from phone interviews that capture more than 70 data points, including where a physician wants to live, whether they will relocate and spouse or family ties, which is the information physician recruiters usually spend the first call finding out. The vendor says the candidates are exclusive to its clients and are not shared with third-party recruiters, and it adds daily interest leads from its own job board traffic.

Watch out: Nothing is priced publicly, and the databases, job boards, outreach tools and career fairs are sold as separate products, so expect a bundle negotiation rather than one plan. The interviewed Pinpoint file is about 480,000 physicians; the multi-million record files (MedTies, WorkTies, HCPTies) are compiled from state board, NPI and Medicare data, not interviews. There is no public API; integrations are with named ATS and CRM systems.

Best for

  • Hospital and medical group physician recruiters filling permanent roles
  • Teams that want relocation and family-tie data before the first call
  • Recruiters who also hire NPs, PAs and other advanced practitioners

Why it comes up: Reaches more than 90% of graduating medical students and most practicing physicians inside the Doximity network, with in-app messaging instead of email lists.

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

HealthTal

$249/mo

Why it comes up: Self-serve clinician contact data with published plans from $249/mo, for broad nurse and allied health sourcing rather than resident-class data.

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
