MedSpa Recruiting vs ScrubOps

The short version

MedSpa Recruiting is a job platform. You pay $997 once, post unlimited jobs and receive candidates matched by license type, market and experience. ScrubOps is a recruiting service. It runs local searches for specific roles and charges a placement fee of 20% to 25% of the hire's first-year base salary, due only when you hire. Both sites publish an exclusive niche (medical aesthetics and wellness for MedSpa Recruiting, med spas for ScrubOps), both publish their prices, and neither names a client.

Pricing

MedSpa Recruiting publishes one price: a one-time $997 for lifetime access. Its plan list covers unlimited job posts, matching by license type, market and experience, direct messaging with interested candidates, market salary data and priority customer support. The site says there are no monthly fees, no per-listing charges and no expiration. It does not state extra costs or which channels back that support.

ScrubOps publishes two fee levels, both a share of first-year base salary. Specialized recruiting, covering injectors, aesthetic nurses, NPs, PAs, practice managers, clinical directors, medical directors and senior leadership, is 25% of first-year base salary. Team recruiting, covering estheticians and laser techs, treatment coordinators and sales consultants, receptionists and scheduling coordinators, and patient concierge and practice support staff, is 20%. Its site does not state a setup fee or extra costs.

Contract and cancellation

MedSpa Recruiting sells a one-time payment, and its site says access does not expire and there are no recurring charges. Refund terms are not published. Its 30-day placement guarantee says that if the first post gets no matched candidates, the post is reposted and access extended for free.

ScrubOps' site does not state a minimum term or a cancellation notice period. Its pricing page says there is no placement fee if you do not hire, and that fee calculations, payment timing and replacement terms are confirmed in the client agreement before the search starts. The replacement guarantee's period and conditions are not on the site.

Built for med spas

Both sites publish an exclusive niche: MedSpa Recruiting says "Medical aesthetics and wellness. Nothing else." and ScrubOps describes itself as a US-based recruiting partner focused on med spas. MedSpa Recruiting's employer page addresses medical spas with 1 to 20 locations actively hiring, and candidates submit license numbers and work history before their profiles are visible to employers. The plans include salary data for aesthetic roles and hiring guides. Its site does not state which regions it covers; a Sheridan, Wyoming address appears in its footer.

ScrubOps describes itself as a US-based recruiting and staffing partner for med spas. It runs local searches for injectors, aesthetic nurses, NPs, PAs, estheticians and laser techs, and for treatment coordinators, receptionists and patient concierge staff, and it screens for license status and injectable experience. Its stated work covers sourcing, screening, candidate handoff, interview support and offer coordination. It offers a 30-minute staffing consult and publishes support by email and booked call.

Which one to look at first

Look at MedSpa Recruiting first if you hire for several roles across the year, want to post jobs and screen candidates yourself, and want the full price published before you talk to anyone. You pay whether or not a hire follows, and refund terms are not published, so ask what happens if the 30-day guarantee produces no matched candidates.

Look at ScrubOps first if you want a recruiter to run a local search for a specific role and pay only when you hire. Before the search starts, get the replacement guarantee period and the fee terms in writing; its site leaves both to the client agreement.

Neither site names a client or publishes a case study result, so ask each for a reference practice of your size. See the rest of the field in recruitment and staffing.
