Medical Locums Recruitment Process

Medical Recruitment Process

We follow a thorough locum recruitment process ensuring that you as the client get the best medical locums. We know how important it is to select the correct doctor that will fit in with your team or will be able to lead your team of specialists right from the moment that they commence with employment at your hospital or general practice. We know that you require a person with specific skill sets, a commitment to your patients and institution, and the desire to give their best to their employer. As such we thoroughly screen all medical locums to ensure perfect placement for both employer and employee.

The following screening and assessments form part of our locum recruitment process:

Medical locums - initial applications

Each candidate submits a CV which should include their career history. Any gaps in the employment history must be explained and motivated.

Proof of registration

When the candidates register through us, they must also provide proof of registration with the GMC and all relevant professional bodies.

Verification of GMC registration

We verify the GMC registration of the medical locums that apply for positions advertised through us. The verification is done at the specific institution.

Reference checking

We require professional references of the current and previous employers. We verify the references at the source.

Identity checks

We perform full identity checks accordance to the regulations for recruitment of medical locums. This process also includes verification of the personal identification documents, passports, and visas. In addition we also ensure that the person has the right to work as a medical locum in the UK.

Criminal records checking

All candidates for positions as medical locums undergo CRB checking to ensure that their records are clean.

Health assessment

The candidates must complete the health questionnaire forming part of the registration process and must provide proof of the required health checks, and vaccination and immunisation reports.

Interviewing

Each candidate is interviewed according to the requirements for the specific position.

Placement

Once medical locums are placed at the appropriate clients, follow-up reporting will be done. Your feedback is required ensuring that the performance of the specific medical locum can be monitored and recorded.

Payroll

We set up the payroll system and require weekly time sheets to be completed by the medical locums. The time sheets must be authorised by the relevant manager. Payment is done weekly directly into the account of the doctor. We ensure full compliance with all payroll regulations as part of our locum recruitment services.

Compliance, issues, and problem solving

Our clients have the assurance of a locum agency committed to resolving any issues that may arise in a professional manner contributing to the building of a working relationship based on trust.
