Airlocum uses a smart matching system to connect locums with the best shifts quickly and fairly.


How It Works

When a practice posts a shift, our system ranks available locums using four factors:

  1. Distance – How close you are to the practice.

  2. Reliability – Based on your last 10 shifts.

  3. Star Rating – From previous bookings.

  4. Engagement – Using the Check-In feature to confirm you’re on your way.

Locums with the highest combined scores are notified first. Every 60 seconds, the next group of top-scoring locums is notified until the shift is filled.


Why It Benefits You

  • More opportunities – High reliability and ratings mean earlier notifications.

  • Less travel time – Nearby shifts prioritised.

  • Score improvement – Each successful shift boosts your ranking.

  • Simple engagement – Click the Check-In link 60 minutes before your shift to show commitment.


💡 Tip: Every shift is a chance to raise your score, leading to more early notifications and better booking opportunities.
