About Inland Care Jobs

Where the jobs come from

We collect health care openings directly from employers' public career sites. A job comes down once it has been missing from the employer's site on 2 checks in a row (one miss can be a glitch on their end). If a site can't be read at all, its jobs stay up for up to 7 days while we keep trying, and then come down. We store the facts of each job (title, employer, location, pay, schedule, requirements, benefits and posting date) and link to the employer's own page to apply. We don't copy employers' job descriptions; any job summary is written in our own words.

How pay and requirements are shown

Pay comes from the range in the employer's posting, whole: if a posting gives a starting rate and a full pay scale, we show the scale. When a job lists yearly or monthly pay, we also show the hourly equivalent at 2,080 hours a year so jobs can be compared. Pay per visit, common in home health, is shown as posted; a visit's length varies, so it has no hourly equivalent and isn't in hourly comparisons. Sign-on bonuses appear separately and aren't counted as pay. If a posting has no pay range, we say so.

Requirements are listed the way the posting states them: what's required, what's only preferred, what's needed only in some cases ("if the job involves driving") and what can be earned after you start ("within 30 days of hire"). Benefits a posting offers only to full-time staff aren't shown on part-time jobs.

When we compare pay, we compare posted ranges with posted ranges, only when enough postings from enough employers go into the figure, and we never rank a job as "below" anything.

How we count

Every figure comes from the pay ranges employers publish in their own job postings, for the jobs open on this board. For a group of postings we report the typical start of their ranges (the middle value of the minimums) and the typical top (the middle value of the maximums). Salaried and monthly pay is converted to hourly at 2,080 hours a year.

A typical range needs at least 5 postings with a full pay range, from at least 2 employers, so one employer's postings never stand in for a whole market. With fewer, we show the postings themselves, lowest to highest, and say how many there are. Postings that give a single figure or only a starting rate aren't used for typical ranges, because a starting rate looks low next to other employers' full ranges. Neither are postings open to two credentials, like “RN or LPN”, since their pay may be for either, nor internships, student, trainee and apprentice jobs, which pay while people learn, below what trained staff earn; their pages say so. Nurse practitioners, PAs, physicians and pharmacists are different professions with different pay, so they get no single typical range.

These are advertised ranges, not what people are paid. Where a new hire lands depends on experience, and at union employers on the step of the pay scale. Sign-on bonuses, shift differentials and benefits aren't included in the ranges.

Featured listings

Employers can pay to feature their own jobs. Any list shows at most 3 Sponsored jobs at the top, plus 1 after the 10th job, always labeled; when more employers feature jobs on a list, they take turns, drawn fresh every day. When you sort by pay or by newest, that decides, and a sponsored job never jumps ahead. Everything else is ordered fairly: this week's jobs first, then older ones, with employers taking turns so no one fills the top of a list for free. A job's page shows only that employer's other openings, never paid placements from anyone else. Paying never changes a job's details or pay figures, and no staffing agency can feature jobs here. Separately, a few partners pay the site a fee for links to them, which never appear on a job's or an employer's page: Stay22's maps and links for places to stay near the hospitals and a travel nursing link from Trusted Health. Searching and applying for jobs here is always free.

Correct or remove a listing

Every listing is read from the employer's own careers site at each update of the board, so a correction to the posting is a correction here: the listing follows at the next update, and when a posting comes down, its listing closes. An employer that doesn't want its jobs here can disallow our crawler, InlandCareJobsBot, in its careers site's robots.txt: we stop reading the site at the next update, and its listings come down within 7 days.

Employers can also see the applicants we send them in their own hiring system: track our applicants in your ATS.

Our crawler

Our crawler identifies itself as InlandCareJobsBot, follows robots.txt, requests at most one page per second from any site, and only reads pages that anyone can see without logging in. It reads employers' career pages and a few public event calendars for our Events page. To stop it, disallow InlandCareJobsBot in your site's robots.txt: it reads that file before every visit.

Privacy

There are no accounts here, and the site sets no tracking cookies (the partner map on the travel nurse housing page sets its own). Jobs you save stay in your own browser. If you sign up for email alerts, we use your address only to send them. We don't sell data, and we don't collect resumes or personal details about job seekers. The full privacy policy has the details.

Accessibility

We want every page to work with a keyboard, a screen reader and zoomed text, and we aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. If something doesn't work for you, write to support@inlandcarejobs.com and we'll fix it or send you the information another way.
