What Medstaff National Medical Staffing does

Medstaff National Medical Staffing (legal entity Locum, Inc.) is a U.S. locum tenens and physician staffing agency founded in 1985 in North Carolina and headquartered in Raleigh-Durham at 15200 Weston Parkway, Suite 104. The company is privately held and owned by President and CEO Andrea Boehme-Hernandez, who purchased the firm in 2008 after joining it in 1998 and serving as COO from 2001 onward. Medstaff generates revenue primarily through per-assignment placement fees paid by hospitals, clinics, and federal healthcare facilities for temporary physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, CRNAs, and dentists, with secondary revenue from state licensure assistance billed at $600 per state.

The firm operates three core service lines — locum tenens staffing, permanent placement, and government healthcare placements (VA, military, IHS, state facilities) — supplemented by two add-on modules: a state licensure service and credentialing/privileging support. Its flagship commercial proposition is medstaffONE, an exclusive strategic partnership sub-brand offering guaranteed shift coverage, a single account manager, consolidated invoicing, and customizable reporting for facilities with sustained locum tenens needs. Provider-side, candidates engage through a Salesforce-hosted job board and one-hour-recruiter-callback promise, with $500 referral bonuses and no placement fees charged to providers.

The technology stack is centered on a Salesforce-based job board and applicant tracking system, with provider-facing interfaces hosted on Salesforce Sites and supplemented by email/SMS job notifications. Medstaff is a founding/charter member of NALTO and holds active memberships in AAPPR, NAPR, MGMA, the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (covering 31 states), and the DoD Military Spouse Employment Partnership. The firm has earned Best of Staffing Diamond awards from ClearlyRated for ten consecutive years (Client and Talent), with 76% of coverage delivered to repeat clients and a 92% candidate NPS against a ~30% industry benchmark.
