Direct Engagement (DE)
Clinical Staffing Optimised: The Power of Direct Engagement
Our Direct Engagement (DE) model offers NHS trusts and health boards a transformative way to employ doctors and allied health professionals for temporary roles.
While recruitment agencies continue to identify and vet candidates, these professionals are engaged under direct fixed-term contracts with the trust. This not only leads to significant cost efficiencies but also grants the trust greater oversight and control over its staffing resources.
Furthermore, DE minimises compliance risks related to IR35 regulations, often associated with umbrella workers. By adopting DE, trusts can benefit from a more streamlined, cost-effective, and compliant staffing solution.
Globe Locums proudly offers a DE model through our advanced VMS Recruitment Systems.
This online, end-to-end recruitment and booking management system is tailored to integrate seamlessly with your current supply arrangements, whether under a Managed Service Provider (MSP), a Master Vendor (MV) agreement, or as part of a Preferred Supplier List (PSL).
