Insights & benchmarks

Powered by physician signals and medical leaders

We show what physicians are solving for—and how your roles stack up—using preference data across up to 130 criteria and anonymized inputs from clinical leaders. Use the benchmarks now, and add your realities to sharpen them.

What you get

Acceptance drivers (by specialty & setting)

What moves physicians to interview and accept: schedule/call mix, comp ranges, autonomy, team makeup, location constraints.

Funnel & speed

Time‑to‑first‑interview, interview→offer conversion, most common decline reasons.

Competitive position (aggregate)

Where your offer lands relative to market expectations—without naming organizations.

Signal trail

The “why” behind physician yes/no so you can tune reqs early.

Contribute: medical leader survey

Why contribute

Calibrate benchmarks to your reality; shorten rework; help your service line win more acceptances.

What we ask

Care settings, call structure, autonomy, staffing mix, must‑haves/flex.

What you get back

Quarterly aggregates and a brief on your specialty/market.

Start the 12-min Survey

Cross-specialty

(National)

Interview speed wins: +31% acceptance when the first interview ≤ 7 days.

Why: Momentum reduces parallel shopping and drop-off.

IM Outpatient

(Southeast)

Role tuning works (call + hybrid).

After moving call 1:4 → 1:5 and adding 1 remote day/week: pipeline +38%, time‑to‑first‑interview –19% within 30 days.

Why: Small, published changes unlock aligned candidates fast.

Emergency Medicine

(Great Lakes region)

Single-coverage nights deter.

Acceptance −26% where single-coverage nights and annual volume >45k; adding float coverage restores +14%.

Why: Safety staffing is a first-order screen.

Hospitalist

(National)

Admit cap is decisive.

+41% approve‑intro rate when admit cap ≤12/day is stated; –23% when cap is >18/day or unstated.

Why: Workload clarity drives early engagement.

Our process flow step-by-step

Step 1

Anonymous alignment

Physicians stay private while our engine matches them to your roles by preferences, needs, and values—cross‑checked against your criteria (must‑haves/flex).

Step 2

Questions answered

(still anonymous)

Our career advocates engage on the physician’s behalf to gather concrete answers (schedule, call, comp structure, team dynamics, leadership, NCA radius, etc.). You respond once; everyone benefits.

Step 3

Consent to connect + Fast Pass

Only after the physician is confident of fit do they approve the intro. We deliver the Fast Pass packet: standardized application, DocVault, attestation, fit reasons, gaps to verify, and
scheduling windows.

Step 4

Admin & scheduling assist

We help complete your forms (the physician reviews and attests), coordinate interviews, and keep both sides informed—reducing cycle time without by passing your process.

Methods - how we count physician-employing sites

425,712

as of 9/8/25

  • We index physician-employing and contracting sites, not every healthcare business.
  • We exclude places physicians don’t practice (e.g., pharmacies, labs, transports, imaging-only centers, admin buildings).
  • We deduplicate by location and ownership, label our evidence quality (Verified / Inferred / Missing), and date-stamp updates.
We never share a physician’s data or profile without their consent.  Data exists to match and advise – never sold.

Time-by-design: How we measure

We count your active time only. We don’t count interviews, employer wait time, or the background work Tessellate does on your behalf.

We handle the rest

Data prefill/enrichment, credential parsing, profile dedupe—done by us.

Market scan across U.S. sites, dedupe, evidence tagging, fit‑score compute, and role‑card assembly—our background work.

Outreach, follow‑ups, identity shielding, and answer consolidation—we do that.

Packet assembly, form prefill, document attach, ATS/HRIS submission—handled by us.

Homework or research; we compile the prep. (Interview duration itself is not counted anywhere.)

Back‑and‑forth scheduling, ICS invites, panel coordination, and reschedules—done by us.

Contract parsing, benchmark retrieval, red‑flag detection, and summary packaging—handled by us.

Post‑acceptance check‑ins (30/90 days), onboarding coordination—we manage those.
