In plain terms
How Expa sources clinicians for outpatient clinics
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.
Outpatient clinics and physician groups rarely have an in-house recruiter. More often the hiring falls to the office manager or the physician owner, who is already running the practice, so a search that depends on posting a job and waiting tends to stall. Meanwhile the clinicians worth hiring are almost always employed somewhere already, which means they are not watching job boards and a posting alone will not reach them. Expa closes that gap by going to the clinicians directly, so a small team gets the reach of a recruiter without having to become one.
The work looks the same whether you are an independent primary care practice, an urgent care center, a specialty group or a federally qualified health center, because you are all hiring from the same local pool of licensed clinicians. Expa searches that pool by credential rather than by job title, so a search for a nurse practitioner returns licensed NPs and a search for a therapist returns the right license, each filtered by outpatient experience, distance from your location and the schedule you can offer. It identifies who is in your market, verifies their contact details, reaches out over email, SMS and LinkedIn, follows up, screens the ones who respond and books interviews with the candidates you approve.
Why outpatient roles stay open
You are a small team hiring against big systems
A clinic or a physician group is often recruiting for one or two seats at a time, while the hospital network and the urgent care chain down the street have in-house recruiters chasing the same clinicians. The person doing the hiring is usually the office manager or the physician owner, squeezing it in between running the practice, so the search stalls the moment the day gets busy.
The clinicians you want already have jobs
The nurse practitioner, physician assistant or therapist who would be a great fit is almost always employed somewhere already, which means they are not scrolling job boards. Reaching them takes direct outreach with a specific role, schedule and pay range, not another posting that sits unanswered for weeks.
One empty seat changes what the whole clinic can do
When a small practice loses a provider, it is not just one line on the schedule. Visits get pushed, the remaining clinicians absorb the overflow, and patients start waiting longer for an appointment. That pressure makes every week a role stays open feel expensive, even when the exact cost is hard to put a number on.

Questions
Can Expa help a small clinic that only hires once in a while?
Yes, and that is exactly the kind of practice Expa is built for. You do not need an in-house recruiter or a sourcing budget. You describe the one role you need, and Expa finds the licensed clinicians near your clinic, reaches out, follows up and screens the ones who reply, then books interviews with the people you approve. It is about ten minutes of your time, which matters when the person hiring is also running the front desk or seeing patients.
Why is it so hard for a physician group to hire clinicians?
Mostly because the clinicians you want are already employed, and they are not looking at job boards. A small group is also competing for those same people with hospital networks and urgent care chains that have recruiters on staff. Postings alone rarely surface a strong candidate, because the strong candidates are busy working. Reaching them takes direct, personal outreach with a clear picture of the role, the schedule and the pay, which is the part Expa handles for you.
Do you source for urgent care and FQHCs, not just private practices?
Yes. Urgent care centers, federally qualified health centers, specialty groups and independent primary care practices all hire from the same local pool of licensed clinicians, and Expa searches that pool for each of them. Whether you need a nurse practitioner for same-day visits, a physician assistant for a busy family medicine panel or a therapist for an outpatient rehab bay, the search is filtered by license, setting experience and distance from your location.
Can Expa find nurse practitioners and physician assistants?
Yes. These are two of the most common outpatient hires, and Expa filters on the specific credential rather than a job title, so a search for a nurse practitioner returns licensed NPs and a search for a physician assistant returns certified PAs, each near your clinic. Because Expa searches by credential, it also surfaces clinicians whose current title would never show up in a plain keyword search but whose license and experience fit the role.
Do you handle the therapists and dietitians an outpatient clinic needs?
Yes. Physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists with outpatient experience, filtered by license, setting history and schedule, along with dietitians for practices that offer nutrition services. If your group is adding integrated behavioral health, Expa sources behavioral health clinicians the same way, by credential and by market.
What if I am hiring for several locations or many roles at once?
Expa searches around each location separately, so a shortlist for one clinic does not pull in candidates from across town who would never make the commute. If you are hiring for six or more roles across your group, the roles selector sends you to book a demo so we can set it up across all of your sites at once instead of role by role.
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.
