Connect with vetted physicians for freelance, contract, or consulting work.
Tessellate helps legal teams, life science companies, telehealth orgs, and many others connect with physicians for high-quality short-term or project-based work - without cold outreach or recruiter noise.
Hiring physicians for freelance, contract, or expert work can be slow, scattered, and inconsistent. Tessellate changes that.
We work directly with physicians to understand their areas of interest, availability, and consulting preferences — then match you with those who are already open to freelance engagements. That means both parties are protected until all qualifications and interest are met.
In this brief call, we’ll:
-
Learn about your freelance/project-based needs
-
Determine the types of physicians who best fit
-
Walk through how our matching process works
-
Discuss timeline, access, and next steps
Whether you need an expert witness, research partner, fractional medical director, or advisor — Tessellate can help you connect with physicians efficiently and compliantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Tessellate different from a job board or agency?
Tessellate isn’t a recruiter or a job board. We work directly with physicians to understand their consulting preferences, availability, and scope of interest — and only match them to freelance opportunities they’ve opted into.
You don’t have to chase resumes or field dozens of unqualified applications. We deliver physicians who already fit your project needs and are ready to engage.

We connect organizations to physicians for:
-
Expert witness and legal case review

Fractional medical leadership
-
Telehealth coverage
-
Health tech product advisory

Thought leadership and speaking
If your work requires physician insight, clinical review, or licensing — we can help you connect with the right MDs.
How much does Tessellate cost?
Our pricing is designed to be simple, transparent, and aligned with value — not volume.
For freelance and contract engagements, we typically charge a straightforward fee based on project scope and duration. There are no upfront costs, no posting fees, and no retainers. You only pay when we successfully connect you to a physician who accepts the work.
We’re committed to keeping fees below traditional recruiting and staffing markups, and we’re happy to discuss flexible options based on your needs.
How do you match physicians to our needs?
We collect data from both sides:
-
From you: project type, duration, specialty needs, compliance/credentialing requirements
-
From physicians: availability, areas of interest, preferred types of freelance work
Then we apply structured matching logic to ensure alignment — and only surface physicians who are ready, qualified, and interested.
What do you need from us to get started?
Just 10–15 minutes to understand your use case. We’ll ask a few questions about your needs and ideal physician profile, and then we’ll take it from there.
You don’t need to post anything publicly or chase cold leads.
How quickly can we expect to see candidates?
In most cases, within a few business days. If you’re requesting a highly specialized or urgent role, we’ll fast-track outreach to physicians who’ve pre-qualified interest in similar opportunities.
Can we use Tessellate for one-off projects or part-time engagements?
Yes — that’s exactly what we’re designed for. Whether you need a physician for a 1-hour review or a 3-month fractional role, we can help.
Do physicians work directly with us, or does Tessellate stay involved?
That’s up to you and the physician. Physicians can work with you directly or continue to engage via Tessellate — especially if you want help managing scheduling, communication, or vetting.
We’re here to make the process as light-touch or hands-on as you prefer.
What types of physicians are available through Tessellate?
Our platform includes board-certified physicians across specialties who are:
-
Open to freelance or consulting work
-
Licensed in one or more states
-
Actively interested in non-clinical or flexible opportunities
We screen for quality, availability, and alignment — so you’re not chasing passive or uninterested talent.
