How Placements Work
A structured, quality-first approach to locum placement. Every step is designed to ensure the right match and smooth coordination.
From Initial Contact to Successful Placement
Our process is thorough, transparent, and designed to deliver quality outcomes for both locums and employers.
Requirements & Scope
We begin every placement by understanding the full picture. For employers, this means discussing role specifications, required qualifications, shift patterns, duration, and any special requirements. For locums, we assess your credentials, availability, preferences, and career goals. This foundation ensures we can make appropriate matches.
Search & Shortlist
Using our network and database of verified professionals, we identify candidates who match the requirements. We evaluate experience, specialty alignment, availability, and location preferences. Only professionals who meet the criteria proceed to the next stage. This focused approach saves time and ensures quality.
Verification Workflow
Before any candidate is presented to an employer, we complete all necessary verification checks. This includes identity verification, right to work confirmation, professional registration checks (where applicable), and reference validation. Documentation is reviewed and stored securely. This step is non-negotiable.
Confirmation & Scheduling
Once a suitable match is identified and verified, we coordinate the details. This includes arranging interviews (if required), confirming placement dates, finalizing terms, and handling all administrative logistics. We ensure both parties have clear information and agreed expectations before the placement begins.
Start & Coordination
On placement start, we provide support to ensure smooth onboarding. We remain available throughout the assignment to address any questions or issues. For ongoing or repeat placements, we maintain communication to ensure continuity and quality. Our role doesn't end when the placement begins.
Beyond the Placement
Follow-Up & Continuity
After placement completion, we gather feedback from both parties. This helps us improve our service and maintain quality standards. For clients with ongoing needs, we discuss continuity planning and future requirements.
What Guides Our Work
Precision Over Speed
While we work efficiently, we never compromise on quality. Every placement receives the same thorough attention, whether urgent or planned.
Clear Communication
We keep all parties informed at every stage. No surprises, no ambiguity. Expectations are set clearly and met consistently.
Verification First
All checks and documentation are completed before candidates are presented. This protects everyone and ensures compliance.
Respectful Handling
We treat all personal and professional information with appropriate care. Privacy and confidentiality are fundamental to our service.
Timeline Expectations
Standard Placements
For planned placements with adequate notice, expect candidate presentation within 2-5 business days from initial request. Full placement confirmation typically within 7-10 days, depending on interview requirements.
Urgent Placements
For urgent needs, we can often present pre-verified candidates within 24 hours, subject to availability. Same-day placements are possible when suitable candidates are immediately available.
Locum Registration
Initial registration and verification typically takes 5-10 business days, depending on how quickly documentation is provided and references respond. Once registered, you're ready for immediate placement opportunities.
