45K+ licensed optometrists • 95% with verified personal data
As more ODs retire or reduce hours, practices across the country are left scrambling. Meanwhile, expanding DSOs are driving competition and pulling candidates from smaller clinics.
Most optometrists get blasted with emails and offers. They tune it out. Standing out now means surfacing interest earlier and aligning on practice model, setting, and lifestyle.
Even attractive opportunities go unnoticed when outreach is generic or poorly timed. Many ODs aren't actively searching but would move for the right setup.
Whether you're a solo practice or a regional group, blasting more job posts won't solve the hiring gap. What works now is in-market intelligence, early engagement, and local relevance.
Three ways Expa helps you hire smarter
Connect with licensed optometrists entering the workforce or finishing residencies before recruiters flood their inbox.
Identify optometrists who are passively open to change, often looking for a better schedule, culture, or ownership track.
Find ODs with ties to your city or region: former residents, local school grads, or professionals returning to be near family.
Target candidates based on your structure: retail, DSO, private practice, or medical optometry.
Match candidates looking for partnership, consistent hours, or long-term clinical fit, not just a job title.
Capture leads from your careers page with always-on AI chat that engages and qualifies optometrists in real time.

We had a well-compensated, full-scope OD role open for 3 months. Expa helped us find a recent grad from the area and a retail OD ready to move into private practice. Both accepted, and neither had applied anywhere else.
