How Airlocum Works
Think of us like Uber:
Practices post shifts when they need cover.
Our algorithm notifies the best-matched locums.
You accept or decline based on your availability.
We’re the platform — practices choose who to book.
Why You Might Not See Requests
Travel Distance Too Small – Increase your mileage radius in your profile.
Availability Calendar Not Updated – Mark days as available (no grey diagonal line).
Hourly Rate Too High – Check local market rates and adjust if needed.
Fewer Practices Nearby – Consider expanding your travel radius.
How to Get More Shifts

Performance = Priority
Our algorithm prioritises:
Distance from practice
Reliability score (90%+ recommended)
Star rating (4.5+ stars)
Engagement (check-in feature, fast responses)
💡 Tip: Contact support if you’re unsure why requests are low — we can review your settings and even reach out to practices on your behalf.
