This blog is designed to empower CRNAs seeking more control over their careers and financial security. Here, we’ll explore the benefits of working directly with healthcare facilities or practice management organizations through Lokum App.
Recruitment Agencies vs. Direct Placement
Traditionally, CRNAs have relied on recruitment agencies to connect them with job opportunities. While agencies can offer convenience and access to a wider range of jobs, they often come with significant drawbacks:
- High Fees: Agencies typically charge Facilities 25-35% of the CRNA’s hourly rate. This limits the CRNA’s take-home pay and can make you less attractive to facilities seeking cost-effective solutions. Locums budgets are temporary and CRNAs cannot expect to get paid locums rates on a permanent basis, or the Group risks losing their hospital contracts.
- Limited Control: Agencies outside of Lokum App may restrict your job options and negotiation power. You might find yourself locked into contracts with hefty buy-out clauses, hindering your ability to explore permanent opportunities directly with the facility for up to 2 years.
- Opaque Processes: The job search process with agencies can be complex, involving multiple layers of communication and limited transparency.
