What's the difference between PracticeMatch and RecruitPhysician?

PracticeMatch is a CV database and job board primarily focused on residency recruitment. RecruitPhysician is a contact database providing personal emails and direct phone numbers for 250,000+ physicians, enabling direct outreach beyond platform messaging.

Does PracticeMatch give you physician phone numbers?

PracticeMatch provides limited contact information through their platform. RecruitPhysician provides direct mobile and personal phone numbers you can use outside of any platform for immediate outreach.

Which is better for recruiting experienced physicians?

For experienced physician recruiting, RecruitPhysician typically offers better coverage. PracticeMatch is stronger for residency and fellowship recruitment due to its historical focus on that segment.

Need more than CVs and platform messaging?

Get direct physician contact data, not just CVs.

PracticeMatch gives you CVs and platform messaging. But what if you need to reach physicians directly? Personal emails. Direct phone numbers. Data you can export and own.

The CV database limitation

PracticeMatch is a solid CV database, but it keeps you dependent on their platform for candidate contact.

CVs but no direct contact info

PracticeMatch gives you access to physician CVs, but reaching candidates requires going through their platform—no direct emails or phone numbers.

Limited to their database

You can only search physicians who have uploaded CVs to PracticeMatch. Miss the majority of physicians who haven't registered.

Expensive enterprise pricing

PracticeMatch's full-featured plans cost thousands per year with complex tiered pricing based on usage and features.

Candidates control contact

Physicians decide whether to respond to your interest. You can't reach them directly outside the PracticeMatch platform.

Residency-focused database

PracticeMatch is heavily oriented toward residency recruitment. Experienced physician data is less comprehensive.

No personal contact information

Even when candidates express interest, you get professional contact info at best—no personal emails or mobile numbers.

Direct data you actually own

RecruitPhysician gives you personal contact information you can use anywhere—your email, your phone, your ATS. No platform dependency.
