How To Find The Best Locum Doctor Recruitment Agency For You?

Lets take a Deep look into How To Find The Best Locum Doctor Recruitment Agency in Australia For You?

If there is one thing, you can be sure there will never be a shortage of Australian locum agencies.


Healthcare recruitment is vast. From one person to a boutique to a handful of large-scale corporate entities, competition is fierce, and that’s a good thing.


More competition means more incentive to show you as a locum doctor if our marketing spiel matches reality.


Before you choose the first sponsored ad you have seen on Google, consider these handy hints on finding the best locum doctor recruitment agency for you. 


Ask a Mate

There’s a good chance that the friends you went to medical school with will end up on the locum doctor scene in their early career. If they have already taken the plunge, bombard that Whatsapp group with requests for a candid breakdown of the best locum doctor agencies they have used.

Payment Process

Does the locum agency use an outsourced payroll function? We recommend you ask this vital question. Why? Because if they do, it means they are loaning the money to pay you. If they have their own in-house you can rest assured they have built you healthy reserves from happy clients to make sure you are paid weekly with no fuss for your locum work.

Google Reviews

The proof is in the locum pudding, and you can find out a huge amount of happy customers that have come before you. A public Google Review is a hefty stamp of approval for the locum agency, so get your cup of tea and get browsing them.

Flexibility

Did the locum agency you just called get you off the phone within minutes and just ask you to fill out an online form? That’s probably one to avoid. However, if they took 30 minutes to delve deeper to get to know what you want from locum jobs in Australia , and then offered to meet you and walk you through your paperwork, they may be a keeper.

Market knowledge

How many locum jobs were you presented with? How quickly did they do this? How confident were they explaining what it’s really like to work at a location? A locum agency that shares is a locum agency that cares. Put them on the spot and listen hard for those gems of wisdom.

She had fantastic things to say about the department and had a great time exploring the area with her husband. She even said that it’s her favourite place she’s locumed to date and has already booked in another locum there for later in the year!
