We fully recognize that the utility of Lucidity is dependent on having a large, diverse portfolio of job opportunities.  Yes, you can expect more jobs to be listed soon. We have multiple agreements in place that have occurred over the last 3 weeks or so. We are working now to train these sites and make sure that we provide them with the resources they need to use the site appropriately. I would suggest checking back every couple of weeks as I think it will be slow over the next 1-2 months, but will increase significantly in early 2017. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding. I can tell you we are working very hard to make Lucidity a truly great experience.

Welcome to the forum! What is the business model for Lucidity? It doesn't sound like the job lookers pay. Do the job listers pay to be listed? Do you get some sort of commission when you make a connection? Do you sell ads? How does it work exactly?

I would sign up preemptively, however, my specialty is not listed and it requires you to pick a specialty when creating a login.  Maybe "my specialty is not listed" as an option.

Lucidity is always free for the physician and free to list for the practice. Lucidity charges the practice a flat rate % of the booking fee that is a small fraction of the typical agency fee (We believe this will allow physicians to be paid more, and practices to pay less, simultaneously). You can think of it similarly to a credit card where the vendor pays a small transaction fee when you use your card.

Thank you for your feedback. We are working on addressing this. If you don't mind, what is your specialty?

Hey I set up a Lucidity profile but am disappointed there isn't a single job in my field (pulm/crit care).  What happened?  It sounded like a good concept.

I signed up as well but the wages offered were in the 30th percentile for my field. No way would I leave my current job, especially to travel long distances. They encourage you to negotiate but when the first offer is laughable I just wasn't really interested.

OP, and agree with both above.  I looked into it when I first posted on here and have referred this option to several of my colleagues during these last two years.  Unfortunately, none of us were able to get much out of it.  We were all very hopeful.

Can’t seem to browse listings without signing up.  That is a non-starter for me.
