Clinical directors, we know you want the best for your practice, patients and staff. Locum tenens doctors are increasingly leaned on to fill a critical role in achieving those laudable goals.
Of course we all want on-time starts. We know you want doctors with expertise and cultural sensitivities specific to your community and your practice. And certainly, everyone is looking for that gem of a physician who fits in so perfectly they turn into a permanent placement. But when you're in hiring mode, what can be done to ensure that both the clinic and the locum share an amazing and profitable experience?
Be Inclusive
That is, be open and incorporate them into your unique clinical culture. Like permanent placements, locums appreciate being part of the big picture. Discuss organizational goals with them. Invite them to share both their professional passions and personal interests, and you'll be well-positioned to capitalize on their experience and perspective.
Be Decisive
When you find a perfect candidate, don't hesitate. Pull the trigger. Competition for talented practitioners is stiff. Remember: you're competing with intriguing opportunities from every corner of the globe. Be bold!
If you keep these recruitment objectives in mind when you're planning for your next hire, you might just stay one step ahead of the competition!
