IRVING, TX, UNITED STATES, May 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Locums.com, the career and resource hub for locum tenens providers and recruiters, today released new survey findings on what locum providers are looking for right now and where the locum process is falling short.

The survey shows that providers want more useful information earlier, especially around pay, assignment details, and logistics. It also points to recurring frustrations around credentialing delays, communication gaps, licensing complexity, and incomplete assignment information.
