Frequently Asked Questions
How is MDdocjobs different from a Tennessee physician staffing agency?
A Tennessee physician staffing agency acts as a middleman β€” sourcing candidates, managing the relationship, and charging 20–25% of first-year salary when you hire. On a $238,000 Tennessee physician salary that's $47,600–$59,500 per hire. MDdocjobs is a direct-access platform β€” you post for $199 or search the database for $199/month, contact candidates directly, and pay zero commission when you hire. No agency. No markup. No middleman.
Can MDdocjobs help me staff HPSA-designated shortage area physician positions in Tennessee?
Yes β€” and this is a specific strength of MDdocjobs for Tennessee. The database includes IMG physicians on J-1 waivers and NHSC-eligible physicians actively seeking HPSA-designated shortage area positions across Appalachian East Tennessee. Post your HPSA position with explicit shortage area, NHSC loan repayment, and Conrad 30 J-1 waiver language to reach this highly motivated Tennessee candidate pool directly.
Can MDdocjobs support ongoing Tennessee physician staffing β€” not just one-time hires?
Yes β€” MDdocjobs is designed for ongoing Tennessee physician staffing needs. Hospital systems, FQHCs, and medical groups with multiple open Tennessee positions post all their openings at $199 each while subscribing to the database at $199/month or $999/year for continuous proactive search. The more Tennessee physician positions you fill through MDdocjobs, the lower your total staffing cost becomes compared to any agency alternative.
Does MDdocjobs support Tennessee physician staffing positions that require visa sponsorship?
Yes β€” MDdocjobs postings support H-1B visa sponsorship language, Conrad 30 J-1 waiver eligible language, and any other visa-related posting requirements. Tennessee has been a member of the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact since 2017, which can further speed up licensure for qualifying out-of-state and Compact-eligible candidates. Include explicit visa sponsorship language in your Tennessee posting β€” it significantly increases response rates from ECFMG-certified candidates specifically seeking sponsorship or waiver-eligible Tennessee positions.
Is there a commission when I staff a Tennessee physician through MDdocjobs?
Never. MDdocjobs charges $199 per job posting β€” nothing more. Zero placement fee. Zero commission on hire. Zero percentage of first-year salary. Tennessee physician staffing agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary. MDdocjobs is $199. That is the fundamental difference between direct Tennessee physician staffing through MDdocjobs and any traditional agency alternative.
