You Place the Physician. We Help Them Stay.
A physician who feels financially organized in independent practice works more consistently, stays in locums longer, and refers the colleagues who trust them. Locum Independence gives your placed physicians that financial coordination, without adding anything to your workload.
The financial side is where locum physicians lose confidence.
You can place a physician into the right assignment and still watch them hesitate. The hesitation is rarely about the work. It's about everything around the work: how to structure an entity, what happens to taxes with no employer withholding, how to replace benefits, whether any of it is being done correctly.
Those questions don't reach you. They surface quietly, after placement, and they shape whether a physician leans into locums or treats it as temporary. A physician who never resolves them tends to work fewer assignments, disengage sooner, and refer no one.
This is a structural gap, not a recruiting failure. Recruiting fills the assignment. It was never built to answer what a physician faces the day they start earning 1099 income.
Financial coordination that lives alongside the placement, not inside your workflow.
Locum Independence gives your physicians access to a coordinated network of specialists covering tax strategy, entity structure, benefits, insurance, retirement, and asset protection. The same coordination that anchors the Locum Wealth System for direct clients becomes a resource your physicians can draw on from the moment they consider independent practice.
Alongside the specialists, physicians receive practical education built for the locum transition: guides on first-time setup and entity selection, self-assessments that surface tax and protection gaps, and webinars on the questions that come up most. None of it requires you to create content or manage delivery.
The support continues after placement. Locum Independence remains a financial reference point across a physician's locum career, which means the confusion that usually erodes engagement gets addressed where it starts, by people equipped to address it.
Three toolkits, mapped to where physicians actually need support.
Partnership isn't a single handoff. It supports the physician relationship at the three points where recruiters most often lose ground: converting a hesitant prospect, retaining an active provider, and turning a satisfied physician into a referral source.
Conversion
Physician-facing resources you can put to work during recruiting conversations: a transition guide covering first-time setup, entity selection, and the common early mistakes; a financial self-assessment that helps a physician see their own tax and protection gaps; and a webinar library addressing the questions that stall a decision. The effect is to remove the financial uncertainty that keeps a qualified physician from committing.
Retention
Resources that keep a placed physician engaged without asking you to produce them: a monthly physician newsletter, quarterly educational events you can invite physicians to, and annual review prompts that keep planning on their radar. Engagement compounds. A physician who stays financially organized stays active.
Referral
Physicians refer when they receive value beyond the placement. This toolkit gives them the language to do it: simple referral scripts, shareable educational content that forwards naturally to peers, and campaign templates that make introductions easy to make.
The full inventory of guides, checklists, webinar topics, and email series is available as a partner one-sheet during your partnership call.

How the partnership runs.
You introduce the physician
You provide access to Locum Independence resources through your onboarding, your email campaigns, or a recruiting conversation. Nothing changes in how you recruit.
We educate and coordinate
Physicians receive the educational content, assessments, and specialist coordination. The work of supporting them financially sits with us.
Physicians gain confidence
As the financial uncertainty resolves, physicians grow more comfortable operating as independent professionals, which tends to increase how consistently they take assignments.
The relationship strengthens
Physicians receive support they value, you become the recruiter who provided it, and the relationship gains a reason to continue past any single placement.
Who this is built for.
Locum Independence partners with independent locum recruiters, physician recruiting firms, national and specialty staffing agencies, healthcare staffing companies, and placement consultants. The common thread is a book of 1099 physicians whose financial confidence directly affects how long and how actively they stay in locums.

A partnership call covers how Locum Independence fits your recruiting process, what your physicians receive, and what co-branded resources are available to you. It takes about thirty minutes and commits you to nothing.
