MedSales Radar is a free job board for US medical sales roles: medical device, pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostics, health technology and distribution. Every listing is read from the employer’s own careers page and links to the employer’s own application. From those postings the site computes public reports on pay, hiring, requirements and who hires career changers, and sells the data behind them to recruiters and analysts as the Business plan.
Where the figures come from: Employers’ own careers pages and applicant tracking systems, read twice a day. Nothing is taken from other job boards, recruiting agencies or surveys, and no figure is estimated: a posting that does not state one is counted as not stating it. The only projections anywhere are trial dates a sponsor states, and those are labeled projected and never counted as having happened.
What is counted: Job postings, not hires or headcount. A new posting may replace someone who left, and a posting taken down may have been filled, paused or put back up. Every figure says what it counts and the day it was counted.
When a role closes: When the employer stops listing it for three days, or sooner when the employer’s own hiring system confirms it closed. Closure records begin in August 2026, so month-over-month comparisons grow as the history does.
No personal data: The reports and the files hold nothing about job seekers or about the people who use the site: no resumes, no contact details, no tracking of individuals. Use of the site itself is counted only as daily totals, never as a record of a person.
Public events beside the hiring: FDA clearances and approvals, Phase 3 trials, SEC filings and SEC cost lines are read daily from the public record. An FDA or trial record is tied to an employer first through reviewed tables (the registered name, the board’s rename, acquisition, division and parent tables, a subsidiary list read by a person) and, failing those, by three narrow name rules: a registered name as the company’s first words, an owner the name states outright, or, for drug approvals only, a one-word sponsor on a reviewed list. SEC rows are named by the employer’s own SEC number or its listed parent’s. Every row says which rule tied it; anything no rule ties is left out. They sit on each employer’s scorecard, in the market events file and in the Monday hiring alert, all for Business accounts.
Monthly report: One dated page a month, frozen with that month’s datasets: roles opened and closed, the employers posting most, where, median advertised pay and the share of postings stating pay.
Hiring activity: Roles opened and closed in a calendar month, by employer, state, industry, call point and product line.
Salary guide: Median and quartile advertised base pay, from the postings that publish a range, by product line, call point, experience, state, industry and level.
Pay transparency: How often employers state what a job pays, by state, industry and employer.
Degrees and majors: How firmly postings ask for a degree, and in which fields.
Career changers: Which postings say they will take someone from outside medical sales: outside sales, clinical, military, technical or athletic backgrounds.
The datasets: The five monthly series behind the reports, with their license and how to cite them.
Name MedSales Radar and link the page the figure is on. Quote the date the page states beside the figure, and the day you read it and any filters you applied, because the live reports move with the board and a figure read today may differ from one read next month; the monthly report is frozen and carries its own date for exactly this reason.
A suggested form: MedSales Radar, “Medical sales in [month and year],” counted [the date the page states], medsalesradar.com/medical-sales-report/[year-month]. The monthly report page carries its own date and address to copy.
Salary figures are advertised base ranges from job postings, not total compensation and not verified earnings; hourly rates and on-target figures are labeled and left out of every base-pay median, and on-target pay is reported apart.
The reports are free to read and to cite with credit, by anyone. The files behind them (the monthly datasets, the live openings database, the employer scorecards, the competitive markets and the market events file) are licensed to one person on the Business plan for their own work: figures, charts and extracts of up to 50 rows may be shared with colleagues and clients, and quoted, with credit; the files, the private links and the sign-in may not be passed on. A research project, a newsroom or a team that needs the files on other terms can ask through the partner form.
No survey, no self-reported pay and no estimated pay: every figure about jobs and pay is computed from postings. The public events beside them are the agencies’ own records, and the only projected dates are trial dates a sponsor states, labeled as such.
No paid or sponsored listings, and no roles from recruiting firms.
No comparison before August 2026, because the history begins then and is never backfilled.
No figure is typed into a page by hand: a number on a report is computed when the page is built or read.
MedSales Radar is run by its founder, named on the about page. For a figure, a method question, a correction or an interview, write to contact@medsalesradar.com. Corrections are recorded on the corrections page.
