Our Purpose and Value
At Quest, when others say “we can’t,” we say “we’re ready!” We have our finger on the pulse of niche specialty markets, proactively sourcing passive candidates you won’t find anywhere else, even for the hardest to fill roles. We deliver the best people match, period, turning locums into a value driver for your healthcare organization.
“Recently we recruited another agency to help us in a search for a full time FP physician. Their egotism cost us over $12k let alone angst, anger, wasted time and we still have no physician. So given our desperation to find a locum physician you might understand why we treaded lightly in getting the contract signed for Quest. But am I glad we did. Again, Quest went light years above and beyond in finding us someone. I clearly felt they were completely dedicated full-time to finding us someone. When they did, again, Quest went way above our expectations in getting the forms completed, the doctor credentialed, and prepared to show up at our facility.”
-Joseph Clouse, Director of HR, Newport Hospital & Health Services
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Locum Tenens?
Locum tenens is derived from a Latin phrase meaning “to hold the place of.” Most commonly referring to temporary physicians, locum tenens physicians contract with staffing agencies to perform medical services for a healthcare organization over a certain period of time. The physician works as an independent contractor paid through the staffing agency, which is in turn paid by the healthcare facility.
