What to Look for in an LT Recruiter
A positive Locum Tenens experience begins with finding the right LT recruiting partner. Unfortunately, with so many Locum Tenens staffing firms vying for your business, designating the right firm for your healthcare organization's needs can prove challenging. Knowing what to look for when screening potential recruiting teams can streamline the selection process and position your medical facility for hiring success.
A few essential considerations include:
Proven Experience Levels
When choosing the best available medical staffing company, experience matters. Your selected recruiting team should have a proven track record of successfully navigating the onboarding of Locum Tenens physicians. From screening candidates and orientation at the facility to completion of the locum assignment, an experienced firm will have the insight, skill, and agility needed to streamline and expedite every phase of the hiring process for you.
Qualified, Nationwide Physician Network
Exceptional Locum Tenens staffing companies value your time, offering instant access to an extensive talent pool of licensed, certified, and already-qualified Locum Tenens practitioners. Your chosen vendor’s candidate network should include clinicians licensed in your state and across every medical specialty to ensure they have the resources you need when you need them.
Clear Contract and Process Explanation
A Locum Tenens contract is a legally binding agreement between your practice and the chosen physician. A reputable recruiter will take the time needed to walk you through both the contract and process specifics, helping you to understand exactly what's expected and required throughout every hiring phase, so you're informed and ready to make the best hiring decision possible.
Open Lines of Communication
Your Locum Tenens recruiting partner should be highly reliable, accessible, and responsive at all times. The right firm will ask about how you like to work, honoring your preferred means of communication to expedite the process and optimize final results.

Finally, innovative Locum Tenens companies recognize that there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all staffing strategies.
