While MDSpots is designed as a physician job board, it’s limited to self-reported resumes from doctors who are actively job hunting. That’s a tiny fraction of the market — especially in the competitive locum tenens space.
Alpha Sophia takes a different approach, giving you instant access to the entire licensed physician population, whether or not they’ve created a job seeker profile. This means you can identify and connect with the right clinicians — for locum tenens staffing, permanent placements, medical advisory boards, or research partnerships — before your competitors even know they’re available.
Locum tenens recruiting often hinges on state licensure and geography — something Alpha Sophia makes easy. Our state license search filters let you find providers who are already licensed in your target state, or in multiple states, so you can quickly source candidates for multi-state locum assignments. Narrow your results even further by specialty, location type (rural vs. metropolitan), or affiliations — ensuring you only spend time on physicians who are an exact fit for your client’s needs.
MDSpots can help when you need inbound applicants, but it doesn’t provide the deep insights that locum tenens recruiters and staffing agencies need to move fast. With Alpha Sophia, you can view detailed physician profiles including contact information, facility affiliations, procedure history, training background, and publication activity. This gives you a complete picture of each provider’s experience, enabling highly targeted outreach for both short-term locum tenens contracts and long-term recruitment strategies.
Locum tenens success depends on speed — and Alpha Sophia’s platform lets you search, filter, export, and contact providers in minutes. Unlike MDSpots, which requires waiting for job seekers to respond, Alpha Sophia empowers you to proactively build your talent pipeline with verified, data-backed leads. Integrate your physician lists directly with your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, and more) and keep your recruiting machine running — 24/7.
