Frequently Asked Questions
How is MDdocjobs different from an Illinois physician staffing agency?
An Illinois 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 $232,000 Illinois physician salary that's $46,400–$58,000 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 Illinois?
Yes β€” and this is a specific strength of MDdocjobs for Illinois. The database includes IMG physicians on J-1 waivers and NHSC-eligible physicians actively seeking HPSA-designated shortage area positions across rural downstate Illinois. Post your HPSA position with explicit shortage area, NHSC loan repayment, and Conrad 30 J-1 waiver language to reach this highly motivated Illinois candidate pool directly.
Can MDdocjobs support ongoing Illinois physician staffing β€” not just one-time hires?
Yes β€” MDdocjobs is designed for ongoing Illinois physician staffing needs. Hospital systems, FQHCs, and medical groups with multiple open Illinois 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 Illinois physician positions you fill through MDdocjobs, the lower your total staffing cost becomes compared to any agency alternative.
Does MDdocjobs support Illinois 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. Illinois is an Interstate Medical Licensure Compact member, which can further speed up licensure for qualifying out-of-state candidates. Include explicit visa sponsorship language in your Illinois posting β€” it significantly increases response rates from ECFMG-certified candidates specifically seeking sponsorship or waiver-eligible Illinois positions.
Is there a commission when I staff an Illinois 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. Illinois physician staffing agencies charge 20–25% of first-year salary. MDdocjobs is $199. That is the fundamental difference between direct Illinois physician staffing through MDdocjobs and any traditional agency alternative.
