How It Works

We handle the search.
You handle the work.

Three steps to stop searching and start choosing.

Tell Us What You Want

Share your specialty, preferred setting, location preferences, and compensation goals. Two minutes. Our team gets to work immediately — no resume required to start.

We Source & Curate

Our team searches the market on your behalf — permanent roles, high-paying locum contracts, and direct hire opportunities nationwide — and delivers only what matches your profile. No noise, nothing irrelevant.

You Pick, We Connect

When you see something you want, we make the direct introduction to the facility and support you through the offer process. You stay in control. We do the legwork.

The Numbers

The case for having an agent
is in the data

PAs who work with a dedicated agent earn more, spend less time searching, and land positions faster than those who go it alone. Here's a snapshot of what the data shows.

Why Season One Healthcare

We work for you,
not the facility.

We flip the traditional model on its head. Instead of working for the facility, our team represents your interests — your goals, your timeline, your terms.

02

High-Paying Opportunities Only

We focus on contracts and positions that pay competitively. Locum rates, rural premiums, critical shortage bonuses — our agents know where the money is and find it for you.

03

Free for Life — For PAs

Active PAs and PA students never pay. Our fee comes from the facility at placement. Free while you're in school. Free when you practice. No catch, no tier, no upgrade.

04

Start Before You Graduate

PA students can join now and start building their opportunity pipeline before they finish their program. The best positions go fast — getting ahead starts early.

05

Nationwide Reach

Our team sources opportunities across the country — rural facilities, underserved markets, urban health systems — wherever the right role for you exists, we find it.

06

Curated, Not Blasted

You won't receive a flood of irrelevant listings. Every opportunity is reviewed against your profile, preferences, and goals before it ever reaches your inbox.

Stop searching.
Let us do it for you.

Join free today and our team gets to work on your behalf. High-paying contracts and direct hire opportunities, delivered to you.

About Us

Your Career.
Our Team. Your Terms.

Season One Healthcare was built around a simple belief: every Physician Assistant deserves a dedicated team working in their corner — not a job board, not a recruiter working for the facility, but a team working entirely for them.

Our Story

Built to Represent You

The PA job market is full of job boards, generic recruiters, and platforms built to serve facilities — not clinicians. PAs spend dozens of hours searching, applying, and negotiating alone, while the facilities they're applying to have HR departments, compensation consultants, and legal teams working on their side.

Season One Healthcare was founded to change that dynamic. Our agents work on your behalf — sourcing opportunities, vetting facilities, and identifying the highest-paying contracts and direct hire positions across the country so you don't have to go looking for them.

The name reflects where we are: this is our first season. We're building something deliberately, one PA and one placement at a time, with a commitment to always keeping our service free for the clinicians we represent.

We Work For You

Our team answers to you, not the facility. Your goals, your preferences, your terms drive everything we do.

Quality Over Volume

We don't flood your inbox. Every opportunity is curated and relevant before it reaches you.

Free, Always

Active PAs and PA students never pay — not now, not at placement, not ever. Our fee comes from the facility.

Long-Term Relationship

We're in your corner from PA school through the peak of your career. One team, your whole career.

"Every top performer in every field has someone in their corner working the market on their behalf. Our job is to be that person for every PA in the country."
Season One Healthcare — Our Mission

How Our Team Works For You

01

Market Intelligence

Our team tracks compensation trends, facility needs, and contract premiums nationwide — so you know what you should be earning.

02

Active Sourcing

We don't wait for postings. We proactively reach out to facilities on your behalf to surface opportunities before they hit the open market.

03

Direct Introduction

When you're interested, we make the introduction and support you through the offer process — on your terms.

Facilities We Source From

We know where
the best opportunities are

Our agents focus on facility types that offer strong compensation, broad PA scope, and meaningful clinical work.

01

Critical Access Hospitals

Rural CAHs frequently offer premium compensation packages to attract qualified PAs. Our team knows which facilities are actively recruiting and what they're willing to pay.

02

Federally Qualified Health Centers

FQHCs offer competitive salaries, NHSC loan repayment eligibility, and broad clinical scope. Our agents identify mission-aligned opportunities that also pay well.

03

Rural Health Clinics

RHCs operate in designated shortage areas and frequently offer recruitment bonuses and above-market salaries to fill urgent PA needs. Our team surfaces these before they're widely posted.

04

Tribal Health Programs

Tribally-operated programs offer unique practice environments, strong compensation, and loan repayment programs. Our team approaches these partnerships with care and respect for the communities involved.

05

Locum & Contract Positions

High-paying locum contracts are often the fastest path to top PA compensation. Our team actively sources short-term and long-term contract opportunities across all specialties and regions.
