What would a permanent hire save?
Put in what a locum costs you for a seat and what you’d pay a permanent physician. This is the same math Hospital ATS uses in its locums-to-perm report, using your real shifts and rates.
Estimated savings
$80,000
| Locum coverage, a year | |
| Permanent, with benefits, a year | |
| One-time hiring costs | |
| Hiring costs paid back in | |
| Net in the first year |
An estimate to start a conversation, not a quote. It leaves out the time a seat stays open while you recruit, and any change in volume after a permanent hire.
How Hospital ATS finds these seats for you
The locums-to-perm report looks at the last 12 months of shifts. Any department with 40 or more agency shifts is a seat worth a look: the report shows the agency hours as full-time positions, the premium over your employed rate, and the savings from hiring. Each row has a button to open a position request.
