THE BARTON ASSOCIATES LOCUM TENENS NURSE PRACTITIONER HIRING PROCESS
At Barton Associates, we recognize how valuable your time is and work hard to make finding a great locum tenens job as fast, easy and efficient as possible. There are no required applications to fill out and we won’t waste your time discussing opportunities that don’t suit your needs and goals. And, of course, you’ll receive expert support from our team throughout the process.
Step 1—The initial locum tenens consultation
As a first step, we’ll schedule a phone consultation to discuss your goals and work history in order to get a good sense for what you’re looking for and gather the information needed to place you in a locum tenens job.
This consultation doesn’t take too long and we’ll need a recent copy of your CV beforehand. We’ll also need to gather references so we have everything we need to help you find a locum tenens position.
Step 2—Explore locum tenens opportunities
Once we have a solid understanding of your situation and the type of locum tenens nurse practitioner job you’re looking for, our recruiters go to work. Using our network of contacts and available locum tenens jobs, we’ll work with you to find locum tenens options that fit your needs and goals.
Step 3—Candidate submittal
Once you’ve had the opportunity to review your options and have decided which locum position(s) you’re interested in, we’ll send your CV and other critical information to our client for review. We may also need to schedule a quick phone interview between you and our client to make sure everyone agrees it’s going to be a good fit.
Step 4—Make your decision
Once you’ve had a chance to review your options in detail, let us know if you’d like to move forward. If you and our client agree that the assignment is a good fit, we’ll put together a contract for both parties to sign and finalize the agreement.
Step 5—Let us take care of any licensing, credentialing and travel related issues
Now that you’ve decided to accept the locum job, our team will work with you to manage any remaining issues, including those related to credentialing, licensing, and travel arrangements (if needed). You’ll be assigned a licensing and credentialing specialist and a travel coordinator to walk you through these issues. We’ll also help you with all the paperwork and frustrating details—saving you time and energy.
Step 6—Start your locum tenens job!
Now that we’ve taken care of any licensing, credentialing, and travel related issues, you’re ready to get started! You’ll be paid on a net 15 basis as an independent contractor and, of course, you’ll have access to our team throughout your assignment. We’ll check in with you periodically to see how things are going and to discuss future nurse practitioner job opportunities that might be of interest to you.
Support throughout the process
Throughout the process, you’ll receive support from a team of locum tenens experts committed to making your locum tenens experience as fast, easy, and efficient as possible.
