Exceptional locum tenens experiences don’t happen by accident. They occur when physicians are supported by teams who show up, solve problems, and genuinely care. That’s why we’re proud to share that Global Medical Staffing has earned ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Talent Award for the fourth consecutive year.

This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes directly from physician feedback.

What this award means

ClearlyRated’s Best of Staffing Talent Award honors staffing firms that deliver exceptional service based entirely on survey feedback from the professionals they place. Fewer than 2% of staffing agencies in the U.S. and Canada earn this distinction.

In other words, physicians shared their experiences with ClearlyRated, and their satisfaction earned this recognition.

In 2026, Global Medical Staffing was part of a CHG Healthcare sweep, alongside sister companies CompHealth and Weatherby Healthcare—all recognized for service excellence. This reflects CHG’s shared commitment to delivering best-in-class physician support across every brand.

Four years of physician trust

Winning once is exciting. Winning four years in a row reflects consistency. It signals long-term trust from physicians who return, refer colleagues, and continue building their locums careers with us.

It reflects consistent, reliable support for physicians navigating locum tenens, whether they’re taking assignments across the country or across the world. Because great locum tenens support should work everywhere physicians want to go.

Leading in locums worldwide

Global Medical Staffing is known for opening doors to international opportunities, but that’s only part of the story.

Physicians work with us because we help them build locums careers wherever they want to practice. 

That includes:

Whether a physician wants to stay closer to home or step into something completely new, the goal is the same: make locum tenens simple, smooth, and rewarding.

Why service matters in locum tenens

Locum tenens is about more than filling shifts. It’s about helping physicians design careers that fit their lives.

That means:

  • Removing friction from licensing and credentialing

  • Managing travel and logistics

  • Providing clear communication and consistent support

  • Helping physicians move confidently between assignments

This award reflects the work our teams at Global Medical Staffing do every day to make locum tenens work better for physicians.
