Expa surfaces licensed physician assistants before they hit job boards, from new PA graduates to experienced clinicians seeking better specialty alignment, autonomy, or work-life balance.
50K+ licensed PAs • 95% with verified personal data
As healthcare systems expand access and physicians face burnout, PAs are filling critical gaps across every specialty. The result? Every hospital, clinic, and specialty group is competing for the same talent pool.
PAs see dozens of generic offers weekly. Most are ignored. What resonates now isn't just pay. It's specialty fit, supervising physician relationship, procedural opportunities, and clear career progression.
When every listing promises "collaborative environment" and "competitive pay," nothing stands out. PAs want specifics about patient panel, scope of practice, CME support, and whether they'll actually get the clinical autonomy advertised.
Posting the same role on more platforms won't fix your pipeline. The best PAs aren't unresponsive, they're employed, selective, and exploring quietly. What works is identifying in-market intent and engaging with relevance.
Three strategies to surface PA talent early
Connect with newly certified physician assistants entering the workforce, often before they've narrowed their specialty preference or committed to a region.
Identify practicing PAs showing signs of transition interest, from primary care to specialty, or seeking better work-life balance, procedure volume, or clinical mentorship.
Find PAs with roots in your area: PA program alumni, military-trained PAs returning home, or providers with family ties looking to relocate.
Filter candidates by clinical focus (primary care, emergency medicine, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, or hospital medicine) and match to your practice needs.
Identify PAs seeking entry-level mentorship, mid-career growth, procedural skill development, or leadership opportunities, aligned with where your practice can deliver.
Engage PAs browsing your careers page with 24/7 AI chat that qualifies based on specialty interest, schedule preferences, and relocation readiness.

We needed an urgent care PA with EM experience and flexibility for evening shifts. Expa surfaced a PA three years out of school who was burned out in a high-volume ED and ready for better hours. Perfect fit. Hired in two weeks.
