How Expa sources radiologic technologists
Expa is an AI-powered healthcare recruiting and clinician sourcing platform. It identifies licensed radiologic technologists 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 272,000 radiologic and MRI technologists in the United States, but the number relevant to your opening is far smaller, because imaging is modality-specific. A radiographer is not a CT technologist, a CT technologist is not an MRI technologist, and none of them are mammographers. Each of those is a separate post-primary ARRT certification, earned separately. Filter a market by the modality you actually need and the pool collapses.
Expa searches on ARRT registration and post-primary certifications, state licensure, modality, equipment experience and shift. More than 370,000 people hold ARRT credentials across all imaging disciplines, and Expa searches the specific discipline your scanner needs rather than the job title "rad tech."

Why imaging roles stay open
Modality is the whole search
"Radiologic technologist" describes six different jobs. Hiring for MRI means finding people with MRI certification, and that is a fraction of the number the job title suggests.
Scanners do not wait
An unstaffed MRI is a capital asset producing nothing, which is why imaging vacancies get escalated faster than most clinical roles.
Off-hours coverage is the hardest ask
Imaging runs around the clock in any hospital. Outreach that names the shift, the rotation and the call expectation gets answered. Outreach that leaves it vague does not.
Where radiologic technologists get hired
Questions
How many radiologic technologists are there in the US?
272,000 radiologic and MRI technologists, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Separately, ARRT states that more than 370,000 people hold its credentials across all imaging disciplines, a figure that spans several occupations and includes holders who are not currently practising.
Why is it so hard to hire an MRI or CT technologist?
Because imaging is modality-specific and each modality is a separate credential. A radiographer cannot run your MRI without post-primary MRI certification, which is earned separately and takes time. So the pool for a given scanner is a fraction of the number the job title implies, and every imaging centre in the region is recruiting from it.
Can you search by modality and certification?
Yes, and for imaging it is the only search that works. ARRT registration in the primary disciplines, including radiography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and MRI, and post-primary certifications such as CT, MRI and mammography, plus state licensure, equipment experience and shift.
Can you find technologists finishing their post-primary certification?
Yes. Expa surfaces technologists currently working toward CT or MRI certification, who are the most movable people in imaging and are usually recruited before they finish.
Can you fill night and weekend imaging shifts?
Yes, and it is where most imaging vacancies sit. Expa filters for technologists whose profile suggests openness to off-shift work and names the shift and differential in the outreach.
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 radiologic technologists 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 radiologic technologist typically charges 15% to 22% of first-year salary.
