# What Tenure Hire does

> Tenure Hire finds clinicians for your open roles by searching its own database and working your job board accounts, then tells you the moment someone is interested.

Tenure Hire is a sourcing tool for healthcare employers and recruiters. You describe a role once, and Tenure contacts the clinicians who fit it on every channel you have: its own database of more than a million clinicians, and the job board accounts you connect (Indeed, PracticeLink, DocCafe, and LocumTenens).

## What a run is

A run is one ask: the role, where it is, what makes it worth a reply, and the message each person receives. When you start a run, Tenure searches its database right away and requests a pass on each of your connected boards. Every channel reports back to the same page, so you see who was contacted, who replied, and who is interested in one place.

## What you get back

- **Interested candidates**, with their contact details unlocked, the moment they reply. You are notified by email and in the app.
- **A contact ledger** of everyone contacted on every channel, filterable and exportable, so nobody is messaged twice and every touch is on the record.
- **Reports** on sourcing activity and, for account admins, on what every user did.

## Where to start

1. [Set up your account and team](/documentation/getting-started/your-account).
2. [Connect a job board](/documentation/job-boards/connect-a-board), if you have one. Tenure's database works without it.
3. [Start your first run](/documentation/getting-started/first-run), or [search the database by hand](/documentation/search/search-the-database).
