Built by an anesthesiologist, for anesthesia.

For 30 years, anesthesia hiring has run on a single classified-ad site that hasn’t meaningfully changed since 1996. No structured profiles. No mobile design. No applicant tracker. No messaging. Sequential URL IDs. Compensation hidden behind recruiter calls and back-channel rumor.

The anesthesia workforce is roughly 124,000 providers nationally — 67,700 CRNAs, 52,300 anesthesiologists, 4,000+ CAAs — with a projected shortfall of 12,500 anesthesiologists by 2033. The people doing this work deserve infrastructure that looks like the rest of the modern internet, and a clear-eyed answer to the question “is this offer fair?”

A modern Gaswork replacement. Structured job data, real clinician profiles, NPI verification, in-app messaging, mobile-first browsing, applicant tracking for the facility side. No emoji-laden “startup energy” — we built for an audience of physicians and administrators who are allergic to that.

Real-time compensation transparency. The first anesthesia-specific Glassdoor-equivalent. Metro-level granularity from two data streams: every job posted on GlideHire, plus a 13-question self-report survey. Clinicians see where they stand; facilities see what the market actually pays.

We’re launching in the Philadelphia metro for the first six months. The founder lives and practices here — relationships at multiple hospitals and ASCs provide the seed supply and demand. No anesthesia-native competitor is local. We expand to a second metro only after Philly has critical mass.

Posting jobs on GlideHire is free. Browsing applicants is free. Messaging is free. GlideHire charges a flat per-hire placement fee — 4–5× cheaper than the typical anesthesia recruiter — and rebates a portion of every fee back to the hired clinician as a reporting bonus. Clinicians are better than free: they earn a meaningful per-hire bonus for confirming where they landed.

• We are not a credentialing platform. We verify identity (NPI registry) but don’t verify licenses or hospital privileges.
• We are not a payroll platform. No employment, no W-2s, no benefits administration.
• We are not a staffing agency. We don’t source candidates, vet references, or negotiate offers. Facilities and clinicians manage their own hiring.
• We do not scrape competitor sites. Our data comes from our own posted jobs and our own self-report survey. Period.

Founder is Gabe Farkas, MD — a practicing anesthesiologist in a private group covering Main Line Health hospitals and ASCs. Built scheduling and analytics tools for the group. Knows the workforce intimately: supervision ratios, call structures, partnership dynamics, PE buyouts, comp variance. The kind of product an industry outsider would get wrong in a hundred small ways.

Engineering is shipped collaboratively with Claude Code, an agentic coding tool by Anthropic. A two-person team can build what used to require ten — and we’re using that leverage to keep the product opinionated and fast-moving.
