At Big Dog Locums, our journey began with a simple realization: healthcare staffing was broken. Too often, we saw recruiters treating providers like numbers and facilities like afterthoughts. Assignments were mismatched, communication was lacking, and the people who ultimately suffered were patients. We knew there had to be a better way.

That’s when we decided to step up and become the Big Dogs of healthcare staffing — a partner that’s loyal, dependable, and always ready to deliver. 

The name “Big Dog” came naturally — inspired by our CEO’s beloved dog, a certified therapy dog who has spent countless hours visiting hospitals and children’s wards, bringing joy and comfort to patients. Just as that loyal companion brightens someone’s day with a wagging tail, we aim to make a positive impact by ensuring the right clinician is in the right place at the right time. For us, it’s more than staffing — it’s about supporting the caregivers who change lives.

Today, Big Dog Locums proudly serves providers and facilities across the country with the same values our name represents: loyalty, compassion, and reliability. Whether it’s last-minute coverage or a long-term assignment, we’re trained for it — and we’re here to keep the healthcare system strong, one placement at a time.
