As a full-service locum tenens agency working in high-demand medical specialties, LocumTenens.com connects qualified clinicians with top healthcare facilities. With a strong commitment to quality connections, the organization has partnered with Doximity Talent Finder since 2014 and finds value in the tool’s precision targeting and access to top physicians. Most recently, LocumTenens.com has seen the power of Doximity Talent Finder while sourcing military physicians specializing in urology. 

Partnership

The LocumTenens.com recruitment team is driven by its mission to connect clients and clinicians to take care of patients. Much of their success can be attributed to the structure of their recruitment teams - the recruiters work on specialty teams and focus on one specialty at a time. This strategy leads to specialized knowledge and personal relationships, which we can see through their recent efforts to recruit military urologists.

Caroline Grounds, an Account Director at LocumTenens.com, has been in the recruitment industry for over 12 years and specializes in recruiting for urology positions. She has found that urologists in the military like to make extra income on leave or a break from deployments. Many of these physicians have student debt, and locums work allows them to resolve some of the financial burdens.

Most recently, she was tasked with finding a physician to fill in for a urologist who needed a personal break. Being that this was a challenging position to fill, Caroline turned to Doximity Talent Finder to narrow down a candidate pool that would be a fit for this role. By using the extensive search filters, she was able to narrow down to physicians who had the right experience, skills, and training for this role while also pinpointing those physicians close to the area. Through Doximity Talent Finder’s DocMail messaging, she connected with a military physician who already had leave scheduled during the time the position would be open, and the physician wanted to use her leave time to supplement her income. Caroline connected the candidate with the organization - the Minnesota urologist got a break, the community got the needed coverage, and the military urologist earned extra income.

Caroline has also used Doximity Talent Finder’s precise targeting for urology positions in rural areas. Narrowing the candidate pool to physicians who currently live (or have previously lived) in rural areas is a tactic she has used to find physicians who would be more likely to accept this type of role.

Keys to Success

1. Focus on the geography and ties to the area first and pay attention to small details. Does a candidate have links to the place where the client’s opportunity is? Is the candidate affiliated with a medical group or hospital? How about the size of the clinics they’ve worked in?
   
   
2. Finding physicians who want to work in locum tenens positions requires a lot of factors to align perfectly, so use the advanced search features to keep narrowing your search. It’s invaluable. 
   
   
3. Use Doximity Talent Finder to get referrals. The doctors you’re working with have colleagues they may recommend. 
   
   
4. Personalize as much as possible. It’s a great feature for DocMail message outreach that Caroline loves.
