Keep availability current and distinguish general interest from a confirmed shift commitment. Per-diem recruiting depends on schedule fit, assignment details and the agency’s approval process. A large list of clinicians is not the same as a pool available for a particular facility and time.
How to put it into practice
- Ask which days, shifts, settings and travel areas candidates want to consider.
- Refresh availability at an agreed cadence and make changes easy to report.
- Route interested clinicians through required agency and facility review before confirming assignments.
A practical example
A clinician available on weekends this month may be unavailable next month. Store the date of the availability confirmation and ask again before treating that information as current.
What to measure
Measure current availability, completed review and confirmed coverage separately.
A mistake to avoid
Avoid sending irrelevant urgent requests to everyone in the database or treating an interest response as acceptance of a shift.
