What this saves you
Right now, finding out which hospital is actually hiring costs you a morning. You re-check boards you already checked yesterday. You cannot tell a live order from an ad that has been up since June. You call a facility and learn the anesthesia group does the hiring, not the hospital.
MOLE reads the public job feeds of every locum agency, perm board and physician group it can reach, then collapses every posting pointing at the same real opening into one row. The competing agencies stack up beside it. That row is an opportunity.
The bet
Three agencies pitching Anesthesiology at the same hospital this week means a real, funded, unfilled job that nobody has won yet. One agency on a verified facility is the quieter prize: a window nobody else has found.
Three actions follow. Do them in order. This page is public on purpose, so if you have an account, work along in a second tab and open the Briefing Room. If you do not have one yet, read it straight through and decide from that whether it beats what you do today.
If you are already trying to place a specific provider, have their specialty and their active, in-force licences to hand. Action 3 uses them. Pending applications and compact eligibility are not licences, and Action 3 explains why that distinction decides whether your match list is real.
This page covers locum tenens. Interim and Healthcare IT have their own, linked from the switcher above, because the motions differ enough that these examples will not map cleanly.
Action 1
Set your desk. Once.
You will never do this again. Everything after it is faster.
An unfiltered feed is roughly 45,000 rows. That is a haystack, not a product. Four settings turn it into your desk, and two of them save to your account so they outlive Clear Filters.
Do this now
Set these four, in this order
1 · States. Your territory. Nothing else. Regional desks set this once and never touch it again.
2 · Level. Physician, APP or CRNA. Pick what you actually recruit. MD and DO are already merged into Physician so one role cannot split into two rows.
3 · Hide Specialties. Not the Specialty filter. The Hide tile. Anything your desk never touches, hide permanently. Saves to your account.
4 · Clients: leave it ON. It defaults ON and hides facilities you have marked as existing clients, which is right. The feed is for net-new. Flip it off only to audit a client's competitive picture.
Everything else (Confidence, Posting Age, Agencies, Facility Type, Telehealth, Perm) is situational. Reach for those when a question comes up, not now. Every tile with a value shows a chip in the filter bar, so you can always see what you have narrowed to and clear it one piece at a time.
Every filter, what it does and when to reach for it: Field Manual, section 04.
Action 2
Read the signal. Decide who is worth a call.
This is the part that replaces your morning of guessing.
Click High Confidence at the top of the Briefing Room. Verified facility matches, multiple sources, landed overnight. Sort by agency count and read the top five. Four signals decide whether you dial.
Agency count is urgency
The MSP badge decides your route in
Age cuts both ways
Perm changes the conversation
Three ways the count lies
One order, whole panel. A high count can be a single MSP or VMS order broadcast to an entire vendor panel. Check the badge, then open the row: near-identical posting text across agencies means one order, not five buyers.
Lead generation. Some postings exist to collect CVs, not to fill a job. Vague title plus a state-only location, running for months, is the tell.
A count of 1 cuts both ways. It can be a quiet window, or an exclusive contract where one agency already has the order locked and you are not getting in.
Open any row to see every individual agency posting with its title, scrape date and a link to the source. That is your audit trail, and your talk track.
The full scoring model, all eight signals and their weights, is in the Field Manual, section 03. You do not need it today.
Action 3
Act. Two paths, one action.
Pick the path that matches what you are holding. One-person desks run both.
Who actually buys: read this before your first call
In anesthesia, emergency medicine, hospitalist and radiology, the hospital frequently does not do the hiring. A contracted physician group holds the service line and staffs it. Pitch the hospital and you are pitching someone with no authority to say yes.
The doors worth finding, roughly in order:
· The department chair or medical director for that specialty
· The practice administrator or group practice manager
· The contracted group itself, if a group holds the service line
· The system's provider staffing or contingent workforce office at larger systems
The main switchboard is where you start, not who you are trying to reach. And be clear about a limit: MOLE does not record which group holds which service line at which facility. What it can show you is when a physician group is doing the posting. That is the Group filter, and it is a strong hint. Confirming who holds the contract is still your phone call.
Path A · Find openings
You have territory and need work to pitch into. You are working the list from Action 2. Take one unbadged facility with two or more agencies on it and open the facility page. It shows every active opening there, an MSP banner if one applies, and a phone number when we have one. Read the other open specialties, because a facility short in two places is a facility in trouble, and that is a better conversation than one vacancy.
Star it before you move on. Tomorrow the Favorites filter is your target list and one click shows what moved overnight at accounts you already care about.
Do this now
Path A, for real, right now
Your top specialty, your home state, Confidence High. Find one unbadged facility with 2+ agencies. Open it, read its other open specialties, star it, and use the page to find the right door: chair, practice administrator, or the contracted group, per the callout above. Not the switchboard as your target.
Nothing in your state clears the bar? Widen Posting Age to 30 days before you widen geography. Freshness is the cheaper concession.
Path B · Market a provider
Plan check
Hot docs are an Agent plan and above feature. Scout accounts see the teaser but cannot create one. Caps by plan: Agent 3 active, Handler 10, Operator 25, Enterprise unlimited. On Scout, read this anyway and then run Path A, which needs no upgrade.
A hot doc is a provider you are actively marketing. Save the profile once and MOLE matches them against every opportunity in the feed, nightly and on creation, and hands you a ranked list of facilities that fit. Upload the CV and MOLE parses it, or enter the profile by hand.
Licences: active only, and IMLC is physicians only
The IMLC flag is the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, and it covers physicians only, MD and DO. It does not exist for CRNAs, NPs or PAs, and there is no equivalent flag for them here. Even for a physician it is a faster route to a licence, not a licence: an IMLC-eligible state still means paperwork, a fee and weeks of waiting before anyone works a shift.
So treat an IMLC-eligible match as a lead that needs licensing started, never as an available provider. Track compact eligibility and pending applications in your own notes with target dates, and keep them out of the licence field.

Two signatures before a name leaves your office
Before a provider's name or CV goes to any facility, two things must already be signed.
1 · A right to represent (RTR) from the provider. Their written authorisation for you to present them to that facility, by name. Without it you are marketing someone who never agreed to it, and if two agencies submit the same provider the facility usually disqualifies them both.
2 · A client agreement with the facility. Rates, terms and liability settled in writing. Send a CV before that exists and you have handed over your candidate with nothing obliging anyone to pay you for the placement.
An anonymous profile needs neither, which is exactly why the first touch is anonymous. MOLE does not track RTRs or client agreements. That lives in your ATS or CRM, and the paperwork is yours to confirm before you attach anything.
Do this now
Path B, for real, right now
Create one hot doc for the provider you brought with you. Open their matches. Take the highest-scoring unbadged facility and draft the first outreach. The AI reason is your opening line.
Pitch the provider anonymously. No name, no CV attached. Something like: "Board-certified CRNA, active FL/GA, available Nov 1. You have had a CRNA role posted in Jacksonville for three weeks. Worth a conversation?" The name goes across once the RTR and client agreement are signed, not before.
Zero matches? Check licence states first. It is a hard gate, and only active licences belong there. Then check specialty spelling. If the provider is a CRNA, NP or PA, remember there is no compact flag that will widen the search for you.
The rule
Your first 15 minutes, every morning
Before the phone. Before email. This is the whole habit, and it is the difference between MOLE being software you bought and MOLE being how you work.
High Confidence, then Favorites

Once a week, audit a competitor
Once a week, one hot doc per active provider
Cut your prep time in half and your connect rate goes up on its own, because you are calling people who are actually hiring.
One number to not quote wrong
When you have more time, Trend Intel gives you the 90-day market view: weekly new-posting volume, agency-overlap percentage, most active states and specialty competition. Use it for territory planning and rate conversations, not daily. Two scoping notes. It counts CRNA inside APP, while the Briefing Room treats CRNA as its own Level, so a CRNA desk will not reconcile the two surfaces: the report's APP line is NPs, PAs, CRNAs and CAAs combined. And it measures agency-posted locum demand only, with perm and employer-direct channels excluded by design, so its totals always run lower than the Briefing Room's. Use Trend Intel for direction of travel, and the Briefing Room for anything you are about to quote as a CRNA-specific number.
When you want the depth behind any of this (the scoring model, every filter, how to read a card signal by signal), that is the Field Manual. This page is the path; that one is the reference.

Run it on your own territory
Everything above works the same whether you read it first or sign in first. If you already have an account, open the Briefing Room and work the steps in a second tab. If you don't, the workflow is the product. This page is the honest version of what you'd be buying.
