🎸 Tennessee Physician Recruiting Platform

A Physician Recruiting Platform for Tennessee β€” Not for Recruiter Commissions

Traditional physician recruiting in Tennessee runs on contingency fees of 20–25% of first-year salary β€” often $47,600–$59,500 per hire. MDdocjobs is a flat-fee platform: post a job for $199, or get direct database access to search candidates yourself. Either way, you keep the money that would have gone to a recruiter.

The Real Cost of Tennessee Physician Recruiting
Why Tennessee Employers Are Moving Away from Contingency Recruiters
Tennessee's healthcare market is large enough β€” anchored by HCA Healthcare's Nashville headquarters β€” that most employers run multiple searches at once. Paying a 20–25% commission on each adds up fast. Here's the honest math on just one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is MDdocjobs different from a Tennessee physician recruiting agency?
A Tennessee recruiting agency charges 20–25% of first-year salary when you hire β€” $47,600–$59,500 on a $238,000 Tennessee physician salary. MDdocjobs is a direct-access platform: post for $199 or search the database for $199/month, contact candidates directly, and pay zero commission when you hire.
Should I post a job or use database search?
Post a job if you want candidates to come to you β€” it's $199 and reaches the full registered pool automatically. Use database search if you want to proactively find and contact specific candidates, especially useful for recruiters running multiple Tennessee searches at once.
Can MDdocjobs support ongoing Tennessee physician recruiting, not just one hire?
Yes β€” hospital systems, FQHCs, and independent recruiters with multiple open Tennessee roles post each at $199 while subscribing to the database at $199/month or $999/year for continuous proactive search.
Does MDdocjobs support visa sponsorship or HPSA recruiting in Tennessee?
Yes β€” postings and database profiles support H-1B and Conrad 30 J-1 waiver sponsorship language, and the database includes NHSC-eligible physicians actively seeking HPSA-designated Tennessee positions.
Is there a commission when I recruit a Tennessee physician through MDdocjobs?
Never. MDdocjobs charges $199 per job posting or a flat database subscription β€” nothing more. Zero placement fee. Zero commission on hire, regardless of salary.
