Giving you as much information as possible to make better decisions for your life and career is important to us.

Maximise your Locum Recruitment Company skills and services.

Registering with a recruitment company such as AUSSTAT is the first step in making your life easier when it comes to booking locum work. Our team is dedicated to finding you the role which best suits you but there are things you can do to get the best from your account manager and team.

1.    Frequent availability updates gives you a better chance

This is something you will hear us saying often but we really can’t recommend this enough. Vacancies are coming in every hour and if we know you are ready to go now or in 6 months’ time it can make the difference between landing the best locum roles. Whether you do it online, email or over the phone the result is the same and you will get the choice of roles above those that wait. 

2.    No detail is ever too much, being specific and knowing what you want and where you want to go helps

We know your time is valuable and don’t want to needlessly intrude so by giving us the honest truth about what you want out of your locums can help us target not only our system but also our thoughts in that direction to giving you what you want. It might be locations, types of roles, length of work or times of the year or even what you don’t want, it all helps make the best placements for you. Equally if you are happy to do anything and go anywhere and have the skills to match we can cater to your needs too.

3.    Take action – prompt decisions will secure the best jobs

As timeframes can be tight when securing Locum work, it can pay to make decisions quickly to secure the best work.  Your Locum Account Manager will not expect you to accept work without first providing you with much information as they can, to give you the best picture of what the requirements of the placement will be, so you can make a prompt determination as to whether you wish to be put forward for the work.

4.    Be in touch and contactable

We appreciate that you might be working, on holiday or just busy so let us know what is the best way to contact you, what times of the day are ‘no go zones’ and when is good and we will try our best to stick to these. Obviously if your dream locum comes along we don’t want you to miss out either so will be in touch as soon as suitable.

5.    Desire the challenge of new experiences, locations and colleagues

It’s amazing how we humans naturally seek a certain element of routine in our lives but being a locum means that you have or are happy to widen your comfort zone and try new things with the reward generally being new skills, fantastic experiences, people and adventures to places you never knew you wanted to go!

Hot Jobs - weekly pick of the bunch!

Whilst you can call us any time to discuss what and where you would like your next locum to be we like to be proactive and give you a peak at the very best jobs of the week.
