LocumTenens

What LocumTenens does

LocumTenens.com is a full-service healthcare staffing agency and operator of the industry's largest and most-visited locum tenens job board, placing physicians, CRNAs, PAs, NPs, psychologists, and social workers into temporary and temp-to-perm assignments at healthcare facilities across the United States. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jackson Healthcare and ranks as the third largest healthcare staffing company in the nation according to Staffing Industry Analysts. Its go-to-market combines a self-serve online job board (free for facilities and clinicians) with a high-touch full-service recruitment operation built around 188 specialty-trained recruiters organized by medical specialty, 148 client account executives, 78 customer care and travel coordinators, and credentialing, licensing, and privileging specialists. Revenue is generated primarily through placement fees on locum tenens assignments, with quote-based, multi-year enterprise contracts, plus an enterprise transition management offering that mobilizes large recruiting teams (e.g., 24-person teams) for major staffing model changes at health systems.

The company's technology stack centers on the LocumTenens.com job board and clinician portal, iOS and Android mobile applications for timesheet and assignment management, the LT Telehealth sub-brand (including remote radiology workstations for women's imaging meeting MQSA and ACR requirements), and the Kimedics analytics-driven workforce management platform acquired in October 2023. Credentialing follows NCQA standards with verification from AMA and Federation of State Medical Boards, and the company holds URAC certification in Telemedicine Support Services (the first staffing agency to do so). The Inlightened acquisition (August 2023) extends clinician engagement beyond placement into advisory, consulting, and market research opportunities via a gig-based platform. Distribution spans direct enterprise sales, the self-serve job board, mobile apps, and an ecosystem of clinician-services partnerships (Panacea Financial, Full Scope Wealth, Tend Health, CORE Anesthesia, Barco Uniforms) that layer financial, wellness, and lifestyle benefits onto the core placement relationship. The company has 251-500 employees, is headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, and has operated continuously since its founding in 1995.
