We're fixing how hospitals find doctors. For good.

11,000 doctors already find their next job on Hoppi. No agencies. No middlemen. No wasted time.

The story

A unit almost shut down. All it needed was one doctor.

A doctor went on maternity leave. Her unit couldn't find a single locum to cover her. Marin and Arthur decided that was unacceptable, and built the fix.

A doctor looking for work

✕Job offers buried in messy Facebook groups.
✕Shifts she hears about too late, after someone else took them.
✕Opaque middlemen standing between her and the hospital.

A hospital unit looking for a doctor

✕Every absence has to be covered, or care stops.
✕The search runs on Excel, email and who you know.
✕No replacement means a unit at risk of shutting down.

Both sides were searching. Neither could see the other. That's the problem we solve.

The healthcare paradox

Hospitals are closing units. Meanwhile, thousands of doctors are ready to work.

This is a matching problem as much as a shortage. The jobs exist. Doctors never see them. Locum days, interim staffing, and scheduling for group practices, health centers, ERs and maternity units: a €500M market in France alone, and it still runs on spreadsheets.

Hoppi market estimates, France.

Why now

Doctors moved on. The industry didn't.

The new generation works differently

Multiple workplaces. Locum by choice. Everything on their phone.

Agencies lost them

Young doctors won't go through staffing agencies. They browse, compare and decide on their own terms.

Hospitals are stuck doing it by hand

Excel. Facebook groups. Staffing agencies. It's slow, it's painful, and nobody guarantees a doctor shows up.

The solution

One platform. Built for doctors. Zero middlemen.

Locum shifts, on-call coverage and permanent jobs. Any type of facility, anywhere in France.

Facility workspace: open locum needs and positions
Step 1

Post in 2 clicks

A hospital posts a need on desktop or in the app. It's live right away.

SMSA locum shift for you
EmailAn offer near you
Push notificationA new offer that matches you
Step 2

We find the right doctors

We match on specialty, location and availability, then alert them by text, email or push. Doctors are verified through the national RPPS registry.

Step 3

They close it themselves

The doctor applies. Both sides chat in the app and lock it in. No agency in between.

65%

of doctors who apply once come back for more. Doctors love it because they stay in control. Hospitals can't browse them. Nobody cold-calls them. They choose.

Impact

Real units. Real patients. Real results.

Patients

Units stay open

CH Fougères, La Casamance and Hôpital Saint-Joseph kept their doors open with doctors they found on Hoppi.

Doctors

We unlocked a hidden workforce

Residents, active retirees and part-timers were invisible to hospitals. Now they're picking up shifts.

Facilities

3x faster in four months

23% of locum needs now get a first application within 24 hours, up from 7% in May. Average wait: 30 hours, our best ever.

Health system

Radical pay transparency

The hospital sets the pay. The doctor sees it. Nobody inflates it behind closed doors.

“Your locum doctor restored our confidence, and we want to work with locum doctors again.”
Christel, medical director of a healthcare facility
Traction

11,000 doctors. 550 facilities. We're just getting started.

11,000+

The super app for every doctor, from med school to retirement

Today

Locum shifts, on-call coverage and permanent jobs, live on a native app since September 2026.

Next

The all-in-one workspace. Doctors and hospitals never leave Hoppi: shifts, hiring, contracts, admin and scheduling in one place. AI makes the paperwork disappear. Public hospitals open up to every doctor through a compliant staffing layer built into the app. Then Spain and Italy.

End of 2027

40,000 active doctors. 2,000 facilities. That's the goal.
