The Quality Difference

Traditional recruitment often feels like a lottery, with practices having minimal insight into who's arriving until they walk through the door. Ronda's comprehensive review and verification system changes this dynamic completely:

Verified Professional Profiles

Each locum on Ronda is verified through:
  • ID checks
  • Confirmation of RCVS registration
  • Proof of right to work in the UK (for non-UK nationals)
  • Their profiles go beyond a generic CV, offering a detailed overview of their skills, experience, and performance history
Profiles are tailored specifically to veterinary work, with clearly structured categories and making it easier for practices to find the right match quickly and confidently:
small animal
exotic
emergency
surgical skills
ID verification
Verified
RCVS registration number

Work Eligibility

The Two-Way Review System

After each placement, practices provide reviews of locums and locums review practices. This mutual accountability creates:
  • Quality Assurance
    Know a locum's actual performance before booking
  • Skill Verification
    Confirm specific capabilities through previous practice experiences
  • Cultural Fit Insights
    Understand how locums integrate with teams
  • Ongoing Improvement
    Constructive feedback helps everyone advance
  • Community Standards
    Overall elevation of professionalism and quality

Addressing Your Staffing Challenges

Emergency Coverage Gaps
When a team member calls in sick or emergencies create sudden demand spikes, every minute spent searching for coverage impacts patient care. Ronda's instant notification system alerts available locums in your area, dramatically reducing time-to-fill for urgent shifts.
Specialist Skills Access
Finding locums with specific skills—from laparoscopic surgery to exotic animal experience—is exceptionally difficult through general agencies. Our detailed skills matching connects you with precisely qualified professionals.
Seasonal Demand Fluctuations
Holiday periods, summer peaks, or local events can create predictable but challenging staffing demands. Ronda's advance booking capability helps you secure quality coverage before these high-competition periods..
Long-term Staffing Gaps
During extended team absences or while recruiting permanent staff, finding consistent, quality locum coverage is essential. Our platform helps you build relationships with reliable locums who can provide continuity of care.
Reliable Weekend and Night Coverage
Securing after-hours coverage often means accepting whoever is available. With Ronda, you can identify and build relationships with locums who specialize in emergency or out-of-hours work.

The Transition from Agencies: Addressing Your Concerns

Many practices have valid concerns about changing their locum recruitment approach. Here's how Ronda addresses these common questions:
quotes

Will there be enough qualified locums on the platform?

We're building both sides of the marketplace simultaneously, with a focus on quality professionals. Our initial concentration on London and the Southeast ensures a dense population of available locums from launch. As a Founding Member, you'll have priority access to this talent pool.
quotes

We've invested time in explaining our needs to our current agencies.

The one-time setup of your detailed practice profile on Ronda replaces repeated explanations to multiple agencies. Once completed, all locums see consistent, comprehensive information about your requirements.
quotes

What if we need emergency coverage at the last minute?

Our platform includes urgent shift notifications that immediately alert available locums in your area. Early testing shows faster response times than traditional agency calls, particularly outside business hours.
quotes

How can we be sure about locum
quality without an agency's assurance?

Our verified review system actually provides more reliable quality assurance than agency recommendations. You'll see detailed feedback from other practices, specific skill verifications, and comprehensive performance metrics before booking.
quotes

We have long-standing relationships
with certain locums through agencies.

Ronda doesn't replace these valuable relationships, it enhances them. You can continue working with preferred locums while using our platform to find additional coverage. Many practices use Ronda to identify new talent that then becomes part of their regular rotation.
We've reimagined every aspect of the locum hiring process to make it faster, more reliable, and focused on quality—giving you back valuable time to focus on what matters most: your patients and your team.
