How Expa sources podiatrists
Expa is an AI-powered healthcare recruiting and clinician sourcing platform. It identifies licensed podiatrists 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.
There are 9,700 podiatrists in the entire United States. It is the smallest licensed clinical profession Expa sources. Spread across 50 states that is roughly 190 per state, and in most metros the number who could realistically take your job is a number you could count on one hand. There is no version of a job posting that solves a market this thin. The only approach that works is knowing exactly who the podiatrists in your radius are and contacting them directly.
Expa searches on state licensure, board certification status, subspecialty and practice setting, and covers residents finishing podiatric medicine and surgery programs alongside practicing DPMs.

Why podiatry roles stay open
9,700 people, nationwide
Roughly 190 per state. This is not a sourcing difficulty, it is arithmetic. Your radius holds a handful, and you need to reach all of them.
The pipeline is capped by residency slots
A small number of podiatric medical schools and a fixed number of residency positions. Supply cannot respond to demand at any price.
They are almost all in practice
Nearly every podiatrist in the country is working. A vacancy gets filled by persuading someone to move, not by finding someone available.

Questions
How many podiatrists are there in the US?
9,700, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is the smallest licensed clinical profession Expa sources, roughly 190 per state.
Why is it so hard to hire a podiatrist?
Because of the size of the profession. 9,700 exist nationwide, supply is capped by a small number of podiatric medical schools and a fixed number of residency positions, and nearly every one of them is already practicing. Filling the role means contacting specific individuals directly, because a market this thin contains almost nobody who is actively looking on any given week.
Can you search by subspecialty?
Yes. Surgical, reconstructive rearfoot and ankle, wound care, sports medicine and diabetic limb salvage, plus state licensure and board certification status.
Can you find residents before they finish?
Yes, and for podiatry it is often the most productive route. Expa surfaces residents finishing podiatric medicine and surgery programs, who are typically recruited a year before they are available.
How wide do I need to search?
Wider than for most roles, and Expa shows you the tradeoff explicitly: how many podiatrists sit within 25 miles, within 75, and statewide. Quality declines with distance, so widening the radius is a decision you should make deliberately rather than have made for you.
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 podiatrists 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 podiatrist typically charges 15% to 22% of first-year salary.
