Locum Leaders is an Atlanta-based firm in the Employment Agencies segment of the Professional Services industry, focusing on connecting healthcare facilities with qualified locum tenens physicians and advanced practitioners.

Unlike general job placement firms, Locum Leaders works exclusively in healthcare staffing.

For clinicians, Locum Leaders functions as a focused career partner within the Employment Agencies space. Recruiters help candidates:
Most communication happens by phone, email, and a secure online portal where providers can share documents, track assignments, and stay connected with their recruiter.
