A smarter way to connect

We've taken the best parts of traditional recruitment — the human support, the problem-solving, the accountability — and combined them with smart automation. The result? A level playing field where placements are made on merit, not to the highest bidder, with real people still there when you need them.

For Clinics

Traditional agency commissions of 15% on every shift and $20,000+ conversion fees add up fast. That's money that could be spent on nursing support, consumables, and admin. With LocumLounge, you get transparent flat-rate pricing and real insight into every locum's track record before you book.

For Doctors

No more walking into the unknown. See payment terms, working conditions, and clinic culture upfront — rated by doctors who've actually worked there. And because clinics aren't paying agency fees on top, you won't be offered lower rates to make the numbers work.

The Hearts Rating System

A mutual accountability system where both clinics and doctors rate each other after every shift. Because trust goes both ways.

🏥 Why Clinics Love It

  • See a doctor's verified track record before accepting them
  • Ratings from real clinics, not agency spin
  • Identify reliable, professional doctors who show up prepared
  • Confidence that locums on the platform are accountable
  • Pre-Pay Service means one less task post-placement — we handle payments for you

👨‍⚕️ Why Doctors Love It

  • See how clinics actually treat their locums before accepting
  • Know what to expect: payment reliability, clinic culture, support, and conditions
  • Your professional reputation is portable across the platform
  • Protection from unfair or exploitative clinics
  • Get offered fair rates — not reduced rates to cover agency fees
  • Pre-Pay Service means timely payment without chasing funds

Protected, Private & Moderated

All ratings are automatically anonymous, protecting honest feedback. Reviews are only visible to vetted users on the platform — not the general public. Both parties have a right of reply to any review.

🔒 Anonymous by default
Vetted users only
⚖️ Neutral dispute resolution
🛡️ Quality you can trust

Low ratings trigger a resolution process — a neutral third party reviews the situation and attempts to resolve disputes before any negative rating is published. If issues are substantiated, misconduct can result in a ban from the app, giving users peace of mind on quality.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

No commissions. No posting fees. No conversion fees. Just straightforward pricing that makes sense.
