Pay Only When You Hire
No subscription fees, no upfront costs. You only pay a placement fee after a candidate accepts your offer and starts working. Zero risk.
Pre-Vetted PharmD Graduates
Every candidate on our platform is a graduating or recently graduated PharmD. No filtering through unqualified applicants — just ready-to-hire talent.

Dedicated Placement Support
Our team handles the matching, coordination, and communication so your hiring managers can focus on interviews and decisions — not sourcing.
How It Works for Employers
From registration to your first hire in four straightforward steps.
Tell Us What You Need
Submit your employer registration with details about your pharmacy, open positions, preferred practice settings, and target states. Takes about 10 minutes.
We Find Your Candidates
Our team reviews your needs and identifies PharmD graduates whose goals, experience, and location preferences align with your open roles.
Review & Interview
We introduce you to matched candidates. You review their profiles, schedule interviews, and move forward with the ones who fit your team.
Hire & Pay
Extend an offer, onboard your new pharmacist, and pay the placement fee only after they start. Simple, transparent, and results-based.
We Serve All Practice Settings
Whether you run a single independent pharmacy or a multi-site health system, we have candidates for you.
Hiring Pharmacy Interns?
Build your talent pipeline early. We connect pharmacies with pharmacy students seeking paid internships, IPPE rotations, and structured intern programs. Select an internship position type when you register and describe your program — we'll find students who are the right fit.
Common Questions
How does the pay-on-hire model work?
You pay nothing until a candidate you selected accepts your offer and begins employment. Our fee is a one-time placement fee — no retainers, no monthly subscriptions.
What types of pharmacies do you work with?
We work with employers across all pharmacy settings — retail chains, independent pharmacies, hospital systems, specialty pharmacies, LTC facilities, and more.
How quickly can you find candidates?
Most employers receive their first candidate introductions within 5–10 business days of submitting their registration. Timelines vary based on location and specialty.
Can I hire for multiple locations?
Absolutely. Many of our employer partners are multi-site organizations. We can manage candidate pipelines for multiple positions and locations simultaneously.
Do candidates need to have passed boards?
Not necessarily. We can match you with candidates who are pre-licensure if you're open to conditional offers, or post-licensure if you need someone ready to practice immediately.
