Profile and preferences should power the entire search experience.
Candidates set up their clinician identity once, then use it to filter jobs, power alerts, highlight qualification gaps, and shorten every apply flow across internal, partner, and external listings.
What candidates actually need to control
This should be the operational profile that drives matching, alerts, and apply readiness, not just a resume upload.
Use structured credential data to validate fit before the candidate wastes time applying.
Shift type, start date, contract length, and float tolerance should all feed ranking and alerts.
Candidates should be able to target compact states, favorite metros, or radius-based local searches.
The profile should prefill apply flows and show missing items before candidates hit submit.
Search can extend beyond your own jobs if the source stays explicit.
Candidates stay on-platform, use the full profile, and track submissions end to end.
Normalized data makes pay, shift, specialty, and location filters consistent across partner feeds.
Candidates can still save, compare, and alert on them, but the apply path and source must be labeled before redirect.
