What the site looks like on day one.
You launch with clinical and support listings, filters by specialty, registration and shift type, plus employer accounts for facilities. Credential requirements make the application flow different: roles carry licence and registration fields that general boards do not need. A candidate community for shift workers is the part that keeps people coming back between moves.
What a member actually does.
A clinician looks for a specific specialty and location, applies, and returns when contracts end, which in healthcare is often predictable. Facilities post recurring roles and value speed above everything, because an unfilled shift is an immediate operational problem. The board earns its place by filling roles faster than an agency, not by having more listings.
How this usually makes money.
Paid listings at $100 to $400, reflecting what facilities already pay agencies, with packages for volume recruiters. Some boards run a facility subscription for unlimited posting, which suits healthcare because hiring is continuous rather than campaign-based. Featured placement works when a facility has an urgent shift to fill.
The mistake to avoid.
Collecting credential data you do not need. Registration numbers and licence details are a liability to store and verification happens later in the employer's process anyway. Capture the minimum at application stage and let the facility do its own checks.
Healthcare job board operator-specific questions.
HIPAA implications?
Job board itself is not PHI. But if you store credential PDFs or background-check data, you need HIPAA-eligible hosting + a BAA with vendors.
Can I capture licence details?
Yes, through custom application fields for registration numbers, specialties and expiry dates. Collect only what employers genuinely need at application stage; verification happens later in their process, and holding credential data you do not need is a liability rather than a feature.
How do shift patterns fit in?
As filters: shift type, contract length and location are what clinicians actually search by. Get those taxonomies right early, because they are more important to candidates than the job title and harder to change once listings accumulate.
Is this suitable for agency use?
Yes, and agencies are often the paying customer. Bulk posting, a recruiter dashboard and package pricing suit them. Be clear in your positioning whether you serve facilities directly, agencies, or both, because candidates notice which one a board is really for.
Can facilities post recurring shifts?
Yes, and this is the feature that matters most to them. Recurring or bulk posting turns a board from occasional use into part of the rota process, which is where the subscription revenue comes from.
Do candidates want alerts?
Badly, more than in most sectors, because contracts end on known dates and good roles fill fast. Saved searches with email alerts are worth building early rather than treating as a later feature.
