Engagement Model · Product Planning

Four ways to engage, built for a market with more candidates than clients can see.

Medical physics has more qualified people than open roles suggest. Most are passive, and 85–90% never touch a job board. Each tier reflects a different level of access to that hidden pool, not a generic upsell ladder.

Open Search, Direct Search, Priority Search, Partner Search.
