Reviewing job opportunities

Reviewing locum tenens job opportunities

As soon as your consultant has enough information to start matching you with jobs, they’ll actively begin looking for opportunities that meet your requirements. Once they find a good match, they’ll contact you to share the details.

Even if your preferred method of communication is text or email, it’s best to have a phone conversation now so you can ask questions and get answers without the delay of email or text. The best jobs often open and close quickly, so too long a delay can result in a missed opportunity.

What to look for in a locum tenens job opportunity

  • What does the job pay?
  • What are the typical job duties?
  • What will the clinical responsibilities be?
  • What is the patient volume?
  • What is the work schedule/shifts?

Pro tip: If you’re not seeing the info you want, be sure to ask your consultant. Some job descriptions provide every detail, while others only provide the highlights. Your consultant can help you get the information you need to properly evaluate an opportunity.
