Quick Answer: You’ll start getting booking requests as soon as your profile is 100% complete and live on Airlocum.
1. Check Your Profile Status
Look at the Profile Progress Bar at the top of your dashboard:
Green & filling up = you’re making progress.
Solid green = your profile is complete and live.
Click the grey “?” icon beside the progress bar to see which sections still need work.
2. Complete These Key Sections
Make sure you’ve added:
✅ Personal details & contact info
✅ Professional qualifications & GDC registration
✅ Professional photo
✅ Availability calendar & working days
✅ Travel distance preferences
✅ Get Paid section completed (Stripe connected)
✅ Hourly rate set
3. Once Live
You’ll appear in practice searches immediately.
Our algorithm will start sending booking requests based on your location, availability, and ratings.
Some locums receive their first request the same day they go live.
4. If You’re Not Seeing Requests
Expand your travel distance for more opportunities.
Keep your availability calendar updated.
Review your hourly rate to ensure it’s competitive for your area.
