How Mozibox Helped Polaris Sleep Hire Its First Medical Director
The Challenge
Polaris Sleep was building a new model for sleep care and needed its first Medical Director.
The ideal candidate needed to be fellowship-trained and board-certified in sleep medicine, with strong clinical judgment and the ability to work with a growing company on clinical strategy, protocols, quality, compliance, and the development of its care model.
It was a highly specialized search, and Polaris wanted to move quickly.
The Mozibox Approach
Mozibox tapped into its strong physician network and the trust it has built within the physician community to quickly generate interest in the role.
The opportunity reached physicians not only through Mozibox directly, but also through physicians sharing it with colleagues they thought would be a strong fit. That word-of-mouth effect helped the search reach highly relevant physicians, including those who were not actively looking for a new role.
Mozibox then used AI-assisted matching and physician-led review to help organize and narrow the candidate pool based on specialty, experience, leadership potential, and fit with what Polaris was building.
Within two weeks, Polaris had a strong pipeline of qualified physician candidates.
From that group, Mozibox narrowed the pool to five highly qualified physicians with the strongest combination of clinical fit, relevant experience, leadership potential, and interest in helping build an early-stage care model.

1 Medical Director hired
Polaris ultimately selected Brent Jacobus, MD, a physician dual board-certified in neurology and sleep medicine with highly relevant experience helping build programs from 0 to 1, as its Medical Director.
The search gave Polaris something particularly valuable for a growing healthcare company: speed without sacrificing quality.
Instead of spending months sourcing, screening, and pursuing candidates, Polaris was able to move quickly with a focused group of physicians who were interested in the opportunity and already well aligned with the role.
Why It Worked
The strongest physicians for startup, advisory, and leadership roles are often not actively searching for their next job.
But they may be open to the right opportunity — especially when it comes through a trusted physician network or is shared by a colleague who thinks it could be a good fit.
That is where Mozibox is different.
Mozibox has built a community of physicians who come to the platform for opportunities beyond traditional clinical practice. Over time, that trust creates a network effect: physicians engage with opportunities themselves, share them with colleagues, and help the right roles reach the right people.
Technology helps Mozibox make that process more efficient, but the strength of the network is what makes it work.
For Polaris, the path looked more like this:
Specialized hiring need → trusted physician network → physician-to-physician referrals → strong candidate pipeline → five highly qualified candidates → Medical Director hire
The Bigger Opportunity
As digital health and AI companies grow, physician hiring is becoming increasingly strategic.
The question is no longer simply:
“Can we find a physician?”
It is:
“Can we find the right physician who understands what we are building and can help us build it?”
That is where Mozibox comes in.
