Rx Rooster Launches Free Anesthesia Career Platform for CRNAs and Anesthesiologists

The platform helps anesthesia providers confidentially explore opportunities through employer-blind profiles while giving employers a free way to post verified roles and connect with matched providers.

Rx Rooster today announced the launch of its free anesthesia career platform for CRNAs and anesthesiologists. Built to give providers more control over how they explore the job market, Rx Rooster helps anesthesia professionals compare opportunities, define their preferences, and connect with employers when there is a match, without exposing their identity before they choose to engage.

Anesthesia recruiting remains highly fragmented. Providers often rely on scattered job boards, recruiter outreach, informal networks, and incomplete pay data to understand their options. For clinicians who are already employed, even exploring the market can create professional risk if a search becomes visible too soon. Rx Rooster was designed to make that process more confidential, transparent, and preference-driven.

For CRNAs and anesthesiologists, Rx Rooster provides a confidential way to understand the market, compare opportunities, and connect with employers on their own terms. Providers can create employer-blind profiles, manage their Credential Vault, and explore matched opportunities, all at no cost.

For employers, Rx Rooster provides a free way to create an account, post verified opportunities, connect job feeds, and engage with matched providers. The platform is designed to reduce wasted outreach by focusing recruiting activity on providers whose stated requirements and preferences align with an opportunity.

Rx Rooster is free to use for both providers and employers. Optional premium employer upgrades are available for organizations that want additional platform services.

Rx Rooster is being built as shared workforce infrastructure for anesthesia recruiting. Beyond job discovery and matching, the platform is designed to help providers manage credential readiness and communicate their employment preferences while giving employers a clearer understanding of where qualified anesthesia professionals may be available and under what conditions.

The goal is to reduce friction across the anesthesia labor market by giving both sides a clearer, faster, and more structured path from opportunity to fit.

“Anesthesia recruiting wastes too much time before the right conversation even happens. Providers repeat the same discovery calls, employers advertise broadly, and recruiters pursue clinicians whose requirements may never align with the role. Rx Rooster moves matching upstream. Providers set preferences once, stay confidential, and connect when there’s real fit. That means fewer wasted conversations and a shorter path from opening to a qualified anesthesia provider.”
Alma Knudson, Founder, Rx Rooster

The platform at a glance

One platform, two sides. Everything named below is live in the product today, under the name shown here.

What providers get

All of it free. Providers are not charged.

Market Pulse
A provider who states their rate sees a Market Pulse on their dashboard showing where it sits against current market data.
One career profile
Role preferences, rate expectations, schedule and availability, specialty and skills, and preferred care settings, stated once. Matching runs off that profile, and so does the resume builder.
A Credential Passport over a credential vault
Licenses, certifications, and documents live in a credential vault that flags what is expiring. A Credential Passport scores how ready the file is for the provider’s state, verification results from the federal registries appear alongside it, and state licenses are re-checked on a rolling schedule.
A resume built and shared on their terms
A built-in resume builder assembles a professional CV from the profile. Providers can watermark any resume before it leaves their hands, including a stamp that reads do not present without provider consent, and share chosen credentials by a time-limited link they can revoke.
A confidential marketplace
Open anesthesia roles are browsable on a public map without an account. Inside the platform, providers appear masked, there is no browsable directory of provider names, and an employer’s first message is held until the provider signals interest.
A private path to interview
Every conversation is tracked in a pipeline from interested through interview. Negotiation, availability sharing, and interview scheduling happen on the platform, and a provider’s details open up only when the provider requests or accepts an interview.

What employers get

Self-service is free: registering, posting or connecting listings, matching, connecting, and interviewing.

Market insight on every listing
The listings page shows where each posted rate sits: at, above, or below market.
A free self-service marketplace
A free account, as many openings as the employer wants to run, posted directly or connected as a listings feed. Matching is a deterministic score over the terms both sides stated. There is no posting fee, no placement fee, and no per-connection charge.
Verified, masked matches
Every provider is identity-checked against the federal NPI registry before they can match. Providers appear masked, and when a provider chooses to share, their credentials arrive as a packet the provider assembled.
A pipeline through interview
Employers see the same pipeline from their side: matches, negotiation, availability, and interview scheduling, all on the platform, free in self-service.

Founder

Alma Knudson

Founder & Head of Engineering, RxRooster

Alma Knudson is the founder and head of engineering of RxRooster. He has spent his career building systems that move resources to where they are needed, from the finance and logistics backbone of a major US hospital system to a platform taken into production at a federal public health agency.

He started RxRooster because anesthesia is one of the most expensive and most fragmented workforce problems in healthcare, and hiring in it takes too long to reach the right conversation. Providers face openings in inconsistent formats, most of them mismatched on pay, location or credentials, and negotiations they do not control. Employers have no clear read on market rate and reach the wrong people slowly. The result is coverage arriving late to the facilities and communities that need it.

His aim is an anesthesia market where the provider sets the terms and coverage reaches the room. He applies automation where it earns its place (making a chaotic market legible, verifying credentials) and hard engineering everywhere trust and money are on the line.

Media Q&A

Is RxRooster a job board?
RxRooster is the free anesthesia career platform: providers explore opportunities confidentially through employer-blind profiles, manage their Credential Vault, and connect with employers when there is a match. Employers post verified roles for free and connect with matched providers. Listings are one part of the platform, not the whole of it.
What exactly is free, and for whom?
For employers in self-service: creating an account, connecting or posting listings, matching, connecting with providers, and scheduling and completing interviews. Providers are not charged. There is no placement fee, posting fee, per-connection charge, or self-service interview fee.
Then how does RxRooster make money?
The workflow is free for everyone. An employer can access an optional premium upgrade after it has published a role and completed an interview. We do not publish a price or a specific product name for it beyond calling it premium. Providers are not charged.
Can recruiters browse a list of providers?
No. That surface does not exist in the product. Providers appear masked in matching and in match views. A provider decides when their details open up.
How do you verify that a provider is real?
Identity is checked against the federal NPI registry, the public CMS registry of healthcare provider identifiers.
How many providers, employers, and listings are on the platform?
We publish one company-scale figure: 115,000+ provider-to-listing matches generated in the first year after the 2025 launch. That is match volume the system produced, not connections made or roles filled. We do not publish provider, employer, listing, placement, or source counts. If a number is not on this page, we do not publish it.
Who is the product for?
On one side, CRNAs and anesthesiologists, and SRNAs preparing to enter the market. On the other, the anesthesia groups, staffing companies, hospitals and surgery centers hiring them, and the recruiters who do that work.
What is RxRooster not?
It is not an employer, and it is not a staffing agency. RxRooster does not employ clinicians, set compensation, or take revenue tied to patient care. Credentialing, contracting and the clinical arrangement are between the provider and the group.
Can we get an interview with the founder?
Yes. Email alma@rxrooster.com. He handles press directly.
