As a hiring professional in the healthcare industry, there will always be multiple locum tenens agencies vying for your business. There are so many things to consider when choosing a locum tenens staffing partner, so it may seem like a tall order to make a selection.
In a crowded locum tenens marketplace, Covelo Direct has found ways to differentiate itself from the competition. Here are just a few reasons why it’s a smart business decision to partner with Covelo Direct:
Relationship driven
The largest locum tenens agencies have massive teams , meaning you could find yourself speaking with someone new each time they answer your call. With no consistent point of contact, messages get lost in translation, and it will be harder to meet your individual needs.
In contrast, Covelo Direct’s boutique, yet full-service, size allows us to come to the table with a customizable approach for each individual client, serving as a true staffing partner. Every client is important to us, as our team relies on those bread-and-butter relationships.
We focus on finding candidates who embody exactly the qualities you’re looking for in a locum tenens physician, with the right experience and qualifications to get the job done. And if a concern ever arises about one of our placements, our recruiters will pivot until a solution is found.
We understand that lasting client-agency relationships pay dividends down the road through enduring business partnerships and possible referrals.
Just the right size
At Covelo Direct, we’re not too big to know the ins and outs of our client’s staffing needs, and we’re not too small so we have the resources to get the job done. Working with a mid-sized agency like Covelo Direct feels “just right,” as Goldilocks famously said.
On the other hand, working with a massive locum tenens organization with hundreds of clients will make you feel like just a number. Larger staffing companies are known to send their physicians to work for the highest bidders, putting hospitals with leaner budgets or fewer positions to fill at a disadvantage. They are also less motivated to problem solve, as clients are one of many and are deemed expendable.
Healthcare connections
Partnering with Covelo Direct offers unique benefits over other locum tenens companies. Our sister company, Covelo Group, is a healthcare staffing agency specializing in nursing and allied health. Working with Covelo Direct to meet your physician staffing needs can also facilitate a relationship with Covelo Group’s experienced RNs, CNAs, MAs, respiratory therapists, phlebotomists, sterile processing techs, X-ray techs, and even hospital janitors and office admins. Between the two companies, we can staff nearly every position in your hospital.
Trusted partnership

With more than 15 years of healthcare staffing experience, Covelo Direct focuses exclusively on placing physicians, physician assistants and advanced practitioners.
