<h2>5 Traits to Look for in a Locum Tenens Recruiter</h2>

 As you research recruiters, don’t hesitate to ask each individual about their
 experience and approach. Recruiters will be asking you plenty of questions,
 and it’s perfectly acceptable to ask them questions to get an idea of their
 skills, strengths and personality. Ideally, you’ll be able to find the right
 match and build a long-term connection with a recruiter who is best for you.

Top locum tenens recruiters are:

<ul style="list-style:none;">
 <li>
 1.Sociable, warm and friendly. Though you can’t possibly
 know how well-connected a recruiter is right off the bat, it’s a good sign
 if the recruiter strikes you as a “people-person.” By nature, successful
 recruiters are typically confident, outgoing and approachable, even with
 people they’ve just met. Since recruiters spend a great deal of time
 networking, they must be able to navigate relationships well. Look for
 someone who seems professional, solution-oriented, poised and kind.
 </li>
 <li>
 2. Organized, efficient and detail-oriented. Recruiters
 juggle numerous tasks on tight timelines. If the recruiter you’re
 considering repeatedly misses calls, forgets details or doesn’t promptly
 return emails, look elsewhere. The best recruiters are quick. They don’t
 leave loose ends. They understand all facets of their industry – licensing,
 credentialing, vetting, traveling, onboarding, and much more. They are
 dedicated to overcoming challenges and fulfilling requests. They’re the type
 of people who get a kick out of solving problems.
 </li>
 <li>
 3. Advocates and negotiators. Masterful recruiters know how
 to make the puzzle pieces fit together for providers and facilities. That’s
 why they are skilled at finding the right provider for their clients AND
 negotiating for providers’ wants and needs. When you work with a recruiter,
 you won’t have to negotiate directly with the facility. Your recruiter will
 advocate on your behalf. Great recruiters are experts at facilitating deals!
 </li>
 <li>
 4. Career coaches. Experienced recruiters have spent
 countless hours pouring over cover letters and CVs, so they know what works
 and what doesn’t. They can provide feedback and recommend improvements.
 Plus, proactive recruiters give interview tips, guidance and insight. If you
 develop a long-term connection with a recruiter, they can even help you grow
 your career over the years.
 </li>
 <li>
 5. Free to you! Best of all, great recruiters won’t charge
 you a dime. Their services are paid for by their clients (health systems,
 hospitals, surgical centers, government health agencies, and the like). If a
 recruiter tries to charge you, find a different agency.
 </li>
</ul>
