The impact our recruiters have on our providers and vice versa is something that is hard to measure. See what one of our recruiters had to say about the first physician she ever placed.

At Cross Country Locums, our expert recruiters are known for being sociable,
 upbeat, problem-solvers. They love getting to know providers, learning about
 their qualifications, researching positions, and finding the perfect match.
 Time and time again, our staffing professionals say they delight in the
 connections they are able to build with providers &ndash; especially when they
 have the opportunity to forge longer-term relationships! It&rsquo;s just one
 of the details that makes the field so enjoyable.



 Recently, Kelly Berrall, Senior Physician Recruiter with Cross Country Locums,
 shared about one of these cherished relationships and what it has meant to her
 over the years.



 Kelly received an email from the family of a physician she had worked with for
 nearly a decade to let her know he had recently passed away. The
 physician&rsquo;s family member told Kelly:



 &ldquo;&hellip;I know you were so helpful to him, and he appreciated all that
 you did to help him with job placements&hellip;our family is grateful for all
 you did&hellip;Thank you again.&quot;



 Kelly was saddened to hear this news and reflected on the time they had
 together in a recent social media post:



 &ldquo;Dayton was my first ever physician placement. We worked together for 8
 years until about 1.5 years ago when he knew it was time to hang up the
 stethoscope. Later that year, he went to visit his grandkids in AZ and shortly
 after checked himself into a nursing home in South Dakota back home. With age,
 his health was declining.



 Dayton always humored me. He was like a grandfather of a close friend that you
 get to know over time. In the past, I&#39;ve asked physician partners to send
 me postcards from their assignments. The first assignment he ever took with me
 was actually my first placement as a recruiter&hellip;he of course chose to
 send me a 1 cent post card for fun&hellip;That 1 cent post card has been
 framed next to my work desk since it was received, and it will stay there as a
 celebration of a life well lived. An imperfect but good egg and a great doctor
 that devoted his life to medicine.&rdquo;



 Thanks for sharing, Kelly. We&rsquo;re proud to work with recruiters and
 providers like you and Dayton each day.
