Screening for Skills

When posting a Locum Tenens position, it is important to be very clear about the capabilities and skills you expect of providers.

Depending on the circumstances, you may have to make small adjustments in the job requirements to better accommodate specific skills of your preferred applicant.

Screening for Availability

Availability and scheduling are very important in finding qualified candidates. You may need to be flexible regarding assignment location, hours, etc. to work with a provider’s schedule. Being flexible with scheduling can net you a larger pool of highly-qualified and vetted candidates.
