Locum Leaders Reviews

Turnover was unrealistically high. Most of the roles can be considered sub-par entry level positions. There is zero room for career advancement and pay is below industry average. The lack of formal training was my biggest concern as I had zero experience in healthcare staffing. On the sales end, you’re given a few small accounts to manage and a territory that has already been sucked dry. I was sold on the concept of unlimited earning potential which turned out to be fictitious. All the issues I encountered were relative to a privately-owned company however, Locum Leaders is now a subsidiary of a billion dollar healthcare company and no one seems to care to look at the bigger picture in efforts to formulate some kind of retention strategy. There’s an obvious issue if 20 people quit in less than one year.

-Poor Management. Managers are for the most part fake. They will smile and laugh, but simultaneously be looking for a reason to let you go to save the bottom line. The VP is the only one who seems like he has any sense. -Managers are hypocritical, For example:They will talk to fellow coworkers about non-business related topics(30min-1hr), but when a brief conversation is started with your peers you will be told to "focus". If you work here keep your head down and make calls regardless of what management is doing. -Very Micromanaged -Turn around time for a for a hire is months. -Applicant pool is next to 0. Database pool is out dated and out of 400 calls in a week you may find 5 that are actually interested. Most want to be removed from the list. -Most of the jobs they have are pulled from LocumsMart and have no real manager contact. -Lack of detail in job descriptions from sales and questions could take up to a week to be answered. -Recently bought by another company(AMN Heathcare) and if profits dip you will get let go especially if you are within 90 days. -Cubes are filled with people whispering to one another.(I found it to be very rude) -No real opportunity.
