Frequently asked questions

How this board works, for candidates and employers.

What does it cost to post?

$295 for a single listing, live for sixty days. $595 puts it at the top of the board, highlights it, includes it in the weekly email and publishes it immediately instead of after review. There is no subscription and no contract.

Why sixty days rather than thirty?

Because a physician search does not finish in thirty. Credentialling alone runs eight to twelve weeks, and a listing that expires before the first interview is a listing you have to remember to renew. Thirty days is a general job board's number.

Do you accept listings from recruiters and agencies?

Yes, provided the listing names the practice or health system the post is actually at. A post that will not say where the job is does not go up — surgeons stop reading a board where half the listings are fishing.

Who reads this board?

Hand and upper extremity surgeons in the United States: fellowship-trained attendings, fellows about to finish, and surgeons considering a move. It is a single-specialty board on purpose — the audience is small, and that is the point of it.

Why do you insist on a compensation range?

Because listings without one get markedly fewer replies, and every survey of physician job seekers says the same thing. You do not have to publish a single figure — a real band is enough, and you can say how it is structured in the field below it.

I did not post this job — why is it listed here?

Some listings are curated: we found the post on the employer's own public careers page and listed it at no charge, clearly badged, with the apply button pointing at the employer's own application page. If it is yours, you can claim it — keep it live for 60 days, add the call schedule and range, update it any time — or ask for it to come down, and it comes down the same day. Nothing curated is ever charged for.

Can I edit or take down a listing after it is up?

Yes. Use the contact form or reply to your receipt and a person will do it — no account needed and you do not need to have kept the receipt. If you created an account when you posted, you can do it yourself.

Do you list fellowships, hand therapy or advanced practice posts?

Not at the moment. This board carries attending and consultant surgeon posts only. Mixing in training posts and allied health would double the listing count and halve the reason a surgeon opens the weekly email.
