Staff your health system across every service line

Expa finds the licensed clinicians near each facility, reaches out, follows up, screens the ones who reply and books your interviews, so your recruiters are not sourcing from scratch.

In plain terms
How Expa sources clinicians for health systems
Expa is an AI-powered healthcare recruiting and clinician sourcing platform. It identifies licensed clinicians who are in-market, verifies their contact details, runs outreach over email, SMS and LinkedIn until they reply, screens the ones who respond, and books interviews with the candidates you approve.
A health system is not filling one job at a time. It is carrying a long list of open requisitions across very different specialties, and the clinicians who could fill them are almost all already employed somewhere else. That is why postings alone rarely work for a hospital. The people you want are not scrolling job boards, so reaching them means going out to them directly, in their market, with a specific role, unit and pay range. Expa does that outbound at a scale an internal team usually cannot sustain across every open seat.
Because Expa searches by credential rather than job title, it can run a distinct search for each role at once, a nocturnist hospitalist for medicine, a CCRN-certified nurse for the ICU, a CRNA for anesthesia, an ARRT-credentialed tech for imaging, each filtered to the licensure, specialty experience, shift and distance that role genuinely requires. It verifies contact details, reaches out over email, SMS and LinkedIn, follows up until people reply, screens the responders and books interviews with the candidates you approve. The clinicians join your organization as permanent, direct hires rather than agency placements you keep paying a markup on, which is the point for a system trying to bring its contract-labor spend back under control.
Why health system roles stay open
Every system in the market is chasing the same clinicians
A hospital does not just compete with the other hospital across town. It competes with the health system two states over that pays a signing bonus, the travel agency, and the telehealth company, all reaching for the same licensed people. The clinician you want almost certainly already has a job, so the only way to get in front of them is to reach them directly with a specific offer.
A single open seat ripples across the whole system
When a service line loses a physician or a charge nurse, the cost is rarely just that one role. Cases get rescheduled, the remaining staff pick up more call, and the overtime and locum spend climbs while the search drags on. Filling the seat quickly is often cheaper than the gap it leaves, which is why so many systems carry an expensive agency bill they would rather not.
Internal recruiting teams are stretched thin
Most health system talent teams are managing dozens of requisitions at once across very different specialties. Sourcing a hospitalist, a cath lab tech and a behavioral health clinician each takes a different search, and there are rarely enough recruiter hours to run real outbound on all of them. The reqs that do not get active sourcing simply sit, waiting on inbound applicants who may never come.

Questions
Can Expa source across all of our service lines at once?
Yes. Expa searches by credential rather than by job title, so it can run separate searches for a hospitalist, an ICU nurse, a CRNA and a radiologic technologist at the same time, each filtered to the licensure and experience that role actually needs. You describe each role in plain English, and Expa builds a distinct shortlist for each one near the right facility. That is the part internal teams usually cannot cover when they are juggling a long requisition list.
How is this different from using a staffing agency?
An agency typically owns the clinician and bills you a markup for as long as they stay, and for a travel or locum placement that markup never ends. Expa sources permanent, direct hires into your own organization. It finds the licensed clinicians in your market, reaches out, follows up and screens the ones who reply, then books interviews with the people you approve, and the clinician joins your team as your employee. You are building your own pipeline rather than renting someone else's.
Why do hospital roles stay open for so long?
The clinicians a hospital needs are almost always already employed, so a job posting mostly reaches people who are not looking. Reaching the ones who might move takes direct outreach with a specific role, unit and pay range, and most internal teams do not have the hours to do that outbound across every open requisition. Add in the competition from other systems, agencies and telehealth for the same licensed people, and a role can sit for months before the right candidate even hears about it.
Do you handle hard-to-fill specialty and night roles?
Yes, and those are often where Expa helps most. Nocturnist hospitalists, cath lab and OR nurses, CRNAs, and night-shift respiratory therapists are exactly the roles where the local pool is small and every system nearby is competing for it. Because Expa filters on credential, specialty experience, shift and distance rather than hoping the right person applies, it can surface people who would never have found or responded to a standard posting.
Can Expa search around more than one facility in our system?
Yes. Expa searches around each location separately, so the shortlist for your downtown hospital does not fill up with clinicians who live near a suburban campus and would never make that commute. If you are a multi-hospital system hiring across many sites and roles at once, the roles selector routes you to book a demo so we can set the searches up across your whole footprint rather than one requisition at a time.
What does it cost to work with Expa?
You can start for free and describe a role to see the kind of candidates Expa surfaces before you commit to anything. For larger health systems, enterprise pilots start at $6,000 over three months, which is set up so you can measure Expa against what you currently spend on agency fees, locum coverage and unfilled-seat overtime. If you are hiring for several roles across the system, a demo is usually the fastest way to scope it.
Do I have to do the sourcing myself?
No. You describe the role and approve a shortlist. Expa does the searching, the outreach, the follow-up and the screening, then books interviews with the candidates you approve. It takes about ten minutes of your time.
How fast will I see candidates?
A slate of interested, contactable clinicians within 48 hours of starting, often within 24. Time to hire from there depends on your interview process.
How much does Expa cost?
You can start free. For ongoing hiring, Expa pilots start at $6,000 for three months and cover all your open roles, with no per-placement fees. For comparison, a contingency agency placing a single clinician typically charges 15% to 22% of first-year salary.
