The locum tenens operating system

Built only for locums. Engineered for faster fills.

Thotara runs the full locums workflow — providers, clients, job orders, presentations, credentialing, scheduling, travel, timesheets and invoicing — with AI pointed at the number that matters: how quickly an open role becomes a confirmed provider.

  • Ranked, explained shortlists the moment an order lands
  • Live fill probability and the constraint holding each order back
  • Stalled placements and fall-off risk surfaced early
  • Locums-native stages, rate structures and included portals

Platform coverage

One system of record, desk to invoice

Purpose-built for locum tenens firms — no custom objects to invent, no consultants, no spreadsheet handoffs between teams.

Instant ranked shortlists

New coverage request, scored book: who qualifies, who can be credentialed inside the window, who has covered that site before — with the reasoning shown.

Fill probability

Every order carries a live likelihood of filling on time and the one constraint holding it back, so leadership sees risk before the client does.

Next best action

Each desk opens a prioritized queue of the calls, presentations and follow-ups most likely to convert today.

Placement pipeline

Presented, name clear, offer, credentialing and confirmed — with stalls surfaced and fall-off reasons captured instead of lost.

Credentialing without chasing

Client-specific checklists, expiration alerts and packet status the facility can see — the step that usually decides your time-to-fill.

Scheduling and coverage

Shift-level calendars including call and beeper coverage, plus provider-submitted timesheets and client approval.

Travel tied to margin

Flights, lodging and cars attached to the assignment, with cost posted against the margin on that placement.

Insight on demand

Ask why fills slowed, which clients erode margin and where conversion drops — answered from your own live data.

Where the work actually happens

Pipeline, dashboard, job orders, timesheets and reporting — the day-to-day surfaces your recruiters, coordinators and approvers spend their time in.

Placement pipeline

Every candidate, every stage, one board

Presented, name clear, interview, offer and credentialing — each card carries the provider, the job, the rate and the candidate number. Stalls and fall-off reasons are visible the day they happen, not the week they're noticed.

Operations dashboard

The desk, the moment you sign in

Providers on file, open job orders, credential gaps and AI proposals waiting for review — plus Thot Bot, which answers from your own records and asks before it changes anything.

Job orders

Every coverage request and its margin

Each order carries its client, facility, specialty, shift pattern, required credential, status and priority — with AI-drafted orders from incoming messages and a ranked shortlist a click away.

Timesheets

Approve the week, invoice the client

Every submitted week across all assignments in one queue — search any provider, client, job or record number, approve or reject, and turn approved time straight into a client invoice with pay-vs-bill margin on every row.

How the work moves

From coverage request to confirmed provider, faster

  1. 01

    Order lands, shortlist appears

    Thotara ranks your entire book against the request in seconds — licensure feasibility, specialty, availability, rate fit and site history, each with its rationale.

  2. 02

    Present and clear faster

    Presentations, name clears and client responses are tracked with the stall flagged the day it happens instead of the week it's noticed.

  3. 03

    Credential in parallel

    Checklist items, document requests and packet assembly start the moment a provider advances, not after the offer.

  4. 04

    Cover, bill, learn

    Shifts, travel and timesheets flow into pay-vs-bill invoicing — and every outcome sharpens the next match.

Where we differ

Three things a configured CRM never gives you

Locums firms lose placements to slow shortlists, invisible stalls and credentialing surprises. Those are the three problems Thotara was built to remove.

AI aimed at time-to-fill

Not a chat window on the side. Ranking, fill probability, bottleneck detection, fall-off risk and prioritized actions — pointed at the metric that decides whether the desk grows.

Decisions, not dashboards

Insight arrives where the work happens: on the order, on the provider, in the recruiter's queue — with the reasoning attached and a human making the call.

Portals included

A provider portal and a facility portal ship with the platform, protected by the same encryption, MFA and permission controls as your internal desk.
