Physician Hiring Decision Intelligence

For smarter hiring decisions

Fewer wasted interviews and fewer surprises later. Tessellate helps hiring teams understand how physicians evaluate roles by turning market insight into measurable hiring decisions.

Not a job board or recruiting agency.

What Tessellate is

Tessellate is a Physician Decision Intelligence platform for hiring teams.

Job boards and agencies focus on transactions. Tessellate provides market intelligence, benchmarking, and workflow insight that helps organizations understand how physicians evaluate their opportunities.

Unit Truth

Verified clinical reality

  1. Clinical scope (de-identified claims): procedures, volumes, acuity/complexity

  2. Working conditions (verified): call/coverage, autonomy, workflow load, staffing reliability

  3. Confidence tags: Verified / Inferred / Unknown

Consent-gated intros

No spam. No cold databases.

  1. Physician-controlled identity: private until they request an intro

  2. Fast Pass packet: verified must-haves + fit reasons + gaps to verify

  3. Less chase work: fewer dead-end screens, higher show-rates

Outcome measurement

Hiring insight that gets sharper with use

  1. Funnel analytics + benchmarks: interest → apply → interview → hire

  2. “Why‑fit / why‑not” signals: captured early to tune roles + units

  3. Retention learning: models improve as outcomes accumulate

Physicians control identity + sharing. Employers only see aggregated unit insights until a physician opts into an intro.

How hiring decisions become clearer

Step 1

Anonymous alignment

Physicians explore fit privately, without pressure or exposure.

Step 2

Questions answered

(still anonymous)

Role-specific realities are clarified early so expectations match reality on both sides.

Step 3

Consent to connect

Only physicians who see a clear fit opt in to introductions - filtering out late-stage drop-off.

Step 4

Fast Pass introduction

Hiring teams receive decision-ready context, not raw interest.

With in‑house recruiters

(Co‑pilot mode)

  • Physician‑approved intros that meet your requirements—qualified, interested, ready to interview.

  • We pre‑fill forms; recruiters review & attest—less rework.

  • One thread through email (ATS APIs coming); higher show‑rates.

  • Signal reporting: early “why not” so reqs can be tuned

No in‑house recruiters

(Full‑service mode)

  • We act as your on‑call recruiting desk—no ATS required.

  • You define the role once (12‑min unit survey); we run the search.

  • We assemble documents, coordinate interviews, and keep everyone updated.

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.

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.

Why this step can be ≤15m
