By Ben Argeband, Founder & CEO of Heartbeat.ai<\/strong> \u2014 A practical, no-nonsense recruiter workflow.<\/em><\/p>\n

Locums is a speed game. The recruiter who reaches a real decision-maker first, at the right time, with a clean offer summary, usually wins the placement \u2014 mostly because the clinician is already fielding calls from someone else. This playbook is built around placement speed, connectability, and workflow fit rather than raw activity volume.<\/p>\n

Two things drive the workflow: early outreach tends to win, and a meaningful share of clinicians simply aren’t reachable through LinkedIn or other professional networks. That means your channel mix and data hygiene matter as much as your pitch. Heartbeat.ai supports this by ranking mobile numbers by answer probability and providing line-tested contact data, so your team spends time talking instead of guessing.<\/p>\n
