LocumMatch is an online platform that assists in bridging the gap between Physician Staffing firms, Locum Tenen Providers, and Healthcare Facilities. LocumMatch offers a complete solution to fill the staffing gaps in both hospital settings and private healthcare clinics. LocumMatch.com also acts as a job board for a locum tenen provider, where he/she can search and find both locum tenen and permanent jobs. Physicians or nurses who are interested in earning extra income and are excited about traveling can easily start working a locum tenen job and have their malpractice, housing, and travel costs all provided for. The time-period of the typical locum tenen position varies and can be either a short term, one or two days, or long term, such as weeks or months.

Physicians just need to register for the site LocumMatch, to receive the job listings for both locum tenen and permanent jobs directly into their inbox. The enrolled locum tenen physician, whether it be a Locum Ob/Gyn, emergency medicine locum tenen, Pediatric Locum Tenen or locum tenen doctors of other specialties, will receive an e-mail notifications when a job is posted that meet the search criteria the healthcare provider is interested in. The healthcare provider then can choose which jobs they are interested in by placing their contact information into the healthcare provider pool.  The Physicians or nurses interested in these permanent or locum tenen positions would then be contacted personally by a physician staffing agency that will be placing a physician or nurse into the permanent or locum tenen position. These staffing agencies will also provide the malpractice insurance coverage to the locum tenen provider, while they are working the locum tenen job. Working as a locum physician is a great way toexperience a wide variety of different practice settings and patients, which in turn strengthens the skills of the healthcare provider while also exposing them to new adventures and challenges. A healthcare provider should look into all the financial details, malpractice insurance coverage limits, and other details before giving any staffing agency their express permission to be presented to any healthcare facility. 

LocumMatch is also a boon for hospitals and other healthcare facilities for fulfilling the vacancies or gaps in any coverage that they may have. The site provides a free service to any and all healthcare facilities that have current or future coverage or staffing needs. LocumMatch is providing a platform for these hospitals to submit their permanent or locum tenen staffing to multiple healthcare staffing companies that deal in the specific coverage specialty. Based on the coverage needs, the healthcare facilities then receive bids from different staffing agencies.

Because each staffing agency is knowingly competing against other staffing agencies, LocumMatch helps in getting the best competitive rates from the agencies and in turn saving healthcare facilities on costs.  The best part for healthcare facilities now is that they can see the numbers and choose one or multiple staffing agencies to help fill any and all staffing needs.  No more annoying phone calls.

LocumMatch also benefits the physician and nursing staffing agencies by providing both permanent and locum tenen leads direct from various healthcare facilities free of charge. After registering with LocumMatch and receiving the notification of a new job lead, the staffing agency can then purchase the specific contact information and other details of the locum or permanent position of the healthcare facility who submitted the need.  As an added benefit for the staffing agency purchasing the lead, they will also have immediate access the candidate pool for that particular need.  Each job lead has the potential to come with a pool of ready and available candidates.

A senior official from LocumMatch said, “We are in the business to assist the locum tenen provider, the hospitals and clinics, and all the healthcare staffing agencies in fulfilling their role in the locum tenen process. We provide job listings to the locum tenen providers so that they can pick a position in their specialty anywhere throughout the country. Staffing agencies can now connect directly with various healthcare facilities using our online platform.  The staffing agencies then can bid on the chosen job, and get the chance to connect with the hiring managers with each hospital or private clinic.

They now can compare the most competitive bids of different staffing agencies in order to make the best choice. We aim to provide a comprehensive solution to all three parties involved in any locum tenen or permanent position.”
