Pharmacy Locum Staffing FAQs
Can I differentiate between retail and hospital pharmacy locums?
Yes! Create separate job classifications: 'Retail Pharmacist' and 'Hospital Pharmacist'. Each can have different credential requirements, pay structures, and shift workflows. System only notifies pharmacists with the matching classification.
How does same-day urgent fill work?
Click 'Boost' on the shift. Set tight geo-targeting (e.g., 15km radius for retail pharmacy). System sends instant email to pharmacists who've opted in for urgent notifications. Get responses in minutes instead of hours.
What pharmacy credentials does Hirepad track?
All major credentials: pharmacy registration (GPhC UK, AHPRA Australia, State Boards USA), immunization training certificates, professional indemnity insurance, DBS/police checks. Track issue and expiry dates with progressive reminders.
Can pharmacists negotiate rates?
Yes. Pharmacists can request shifts and propose rates. You can accept or counter-offer. All negotiation history is logged transparently. Speeds up booking significantly compared to email back-and-forth.
What if I need immunization-trained pharmacists only?
Set ‘Immunization Certificate’ as a required credential for the shift or classification. System only allows pharmacists with valid immunization training to request those shifts.
How does geo-targeting work for pharmacy chains?
Each pharmacy location has its own latitude/longitude. Set notification radius per shift (e.g., 15km for suburban pharmacy, 10km for city pharmacy). Pharmacists only get alerted if they're within commuting distance.
Can I track which pharmacists work at which pharmacy locations?
Yes. All shift history is logged per pharmacist and per pharmacy location. You can see placement history and identify which pharmacists work well at specific locations.
Do you support permanent pharmacist placements too?
Yes! Use regular job postings (not shift mode) for permanent pharmacy roles. Full ATS pipeline (Leads → Applied → Interview → Hired). Same platform for locum and permanent recruitment.
