3 Locum Tenens Staffing Services An Integrated Approach to Recruiting At Maxim, our goal is providing the best-suited physicians to alleviate our clients staffing challenges. Using an integrated recruitment strategy, our team of physician consultants works to identify the top candidates who meet and exceed the criteria provided by our clients. Internal Database Sourcing 4 The first step in the MPR recruitment process is to cross-reference the client s preferences and job descriptions with our extensive database of available professionals. Only those personnel who are the most compatible will be considered as potential candidates. Recruitment Advertising 4 MPR advertises in trade publications, newspapers, and online in order to target highly specialized professionals in specific areas of the country. We contract with numerous job boards and career sites to attract candidates using online job postings, banner advertisements, and blasts. MPR Web Site Job Postings 4 In addition to job postings on physician-focused job boards and career sites, all open positions are advertised on the Maxim Physician Resources Web site. MPR s marketing strategies include online and offline efforts designed to drive traffic to our Web site, resulting in increased exposure for our clients recruitment needs. Direct Marketing 4 Through our industry partnerships, MPR has access to mailing addresses, phone numbers, and addresses for physician prospects in a broad range of specialties nationwide. We utilize a multichannel approach to recruitment marketing that includes telephone recruiting, marketing, and direct mail (letters and postcards). Marketing 4 MPR distributes highly customized, targeted campaigns to engage physician candidates in niche specialties. We track which physicians open and respond to each , enabling us to narrow our search quickly and efficiently. Social Media Marketing 4 Social media offers a way to engage potential candidates in a manner that traditional recruitment methods can not. MPR utilizes popular social networking sites to connect with prospective employees in an interactive online environment. Career Fairs, Tradeshows, and Conferences 4 The MPR team relishes the opportunity to connect with candidates face-to-face. We participate in a number of career fairs and industry conferences, enabling us to take a more personalized approach to recruiting. MPR exhibits at a variety of national tradeshows, attracting candidates from a range of specialties from internal medicine to radiology. Referrals 4 Some of our most successful placements have been the result of a referral from an existing MPR physician. We take the time to build relationships with our physicians, allowing us to continuously expand our network of qualified providers. Staffing Spectrum Maxim Physician Resources places locum tenens physicians in all medical specialties nationwide. Following is a sample of the most in-demand specialties within our staffing spectrum: Anesthesiology/CRNA Correctional Medicine Dentistry Emergency Medicine Family Practice Home Health Screening/Credentialing Processes MPR verifies the credentials, references, and background history of all physicians prior to assignment. We screen our physicians work history and credentials for status and disciplinary action. Prior to a medical professional s hire, MPR completes a criminal background check and requests a report from the National Practitioner Databank, which contains notations regarding any medical or malpractice actions that were levied against the practitioner. In addition, our screening process confirms that providers possess the following qualifications: Licenses for each state of employment Medical diploma DEA, internship, residency, and all other professional certificates Retention Strategies Hospitalists Internal Medicine Neurology OB/GYN Occupational Health Pediatrics MPR values our talented employees and understands that their satisfaction will directly affect the services our clients receive. In order to retain qualified personnel, we offer competitive compensation and non-monetary benefits, including complete travel arrangement and management, weekly pay, direct deposit for salary and expenses, comprehensive insurance and malpractice coverage, continuing educational opportunities, and additional licensing and renewal services. Employee Performance Monitoring Primary Care Psychiatry Radiology Rural Health Clean background checks Three written professional references Verification of work experience Relevant board certifications #1 At MPR, we hold our physicians to the highest standards of professionalism and patient care. An integral part of our quality assurance program is monitoring and managing employee performance. We maintain constant contact with all clients before and after candidates are placed to make certain that our providers are meeting expectations. MPR also conducts performance appraisals for all new hires. Consistently courteous, responsive, and helpful, Maxim s staff offer proactive support and modeled the physician search exactly to our specifications. Strong and experienced physicians can be a tough search in today s contracted emergency environment. Maxim was immediately responsive with locating two highly qualified candidates who met our strict guidelines. At no time have I felt we had candidates thrown at us who fell outside of our defined criteria. This fact is much appreciated as I have too little time to devote to the recruitment efforts of our practice since other job tasks demand regular attention.

Despite the perception that locum tenens physicians are too costly, many facilities have learned that temporary doctors can positively impact their bottom line. Here are some of the reasons clients of Maxim Physician Resources choose locum tenens physicians for short and long-term coverage: Cost Savings 4 Contracting with locum tenens physicians can have a positive impact on a facility s revenue. Eliminate recruitment, screening, and hiring costs. Alleviate administrative expenses related to payroll, taxes, malpractice coverage, and benefits. Provide extra coverage without hiring additional full-time physicians. Maintain revenue flow when permanent doctors take temporary or extended leave. Continuity of Care 4 Temporary physicians help facilities provide consistent care when patients need it most. Maintain patient care when permanent staff is depleted due to vacation, turnover, leaves of absence, and continuing medical education seminars. Continue treating patients who would otherwise go unseen or seek medical care from competitors. Treat more patients during busy times of year such as tourist and flu seasons. Benefits to Existing Staff 4 Consider working with a locum tenens physician to balance changing patient needs with the busy schedules of existing staff. Boost retention of overworked staff by preventing burn out. Keep referring physicians happy by maintaining a high level of service when permanent doctors are unavailable. Maxim Physician Resources is a sister company to TimeLine Recruiting (TLR), a firm specializing in permanent placement physician staffing. TimeLine offers guaranteed placement* within 12 months, or 100 percent of the professional fees clients invest are refunded. Traditional retained firms practice non-refundable hourly billing or charge per candidate interview, resulting in thousands of dollars in professional fees even if a healthcare professional is never placed. Unlike competitors, TLR provides all of the detailed services that medical facilities expect from a retained firm, but without the financial risk or unexpected billing. MPR and TimeLine collaborate to make the Maxim family of companies a one-stop shop for temporary and permanent physician staffing services. *Refund of professional fees subject to the terms and conditions of Recruiting Agreement: If TimeLine Recruiting fails to fill a search, TimeLine agrees to refund professional fees paid by Client to TimeLine Recruiting, providing Client agrees to: respond to all written and electronic communication in a timely manner, provide feedback on all candidates presented by TimeLine Recruiting within four business days of receipt, and pay all invoices within thirty days of invoice date. We are a small hospital in a rural setting and it is often difficult to get a doctor to cover our area. The staff that has been sent to us has been a perfect fit for our facility. Some of the timing has been difficult to fill, but Maxim has been able to meet every challenge we have encountered. I am very pleased with the level of credentialing Maxim has on each physician. It makes my job of getting our medical staff approval much, much easier and certainly much quicker. Thank you for making our job of filling a temporary slot so painless and pleasant. I will never use another agency other than Maxim.
