Is Rohme an agency?

No, Rohme is an online marketplace that is working with agencies to provide hospitals with the workforce they need in a simple and efficient way.

How can I be sure locums are properly vetted?

Each locum goes under a validation process to make sure they are 100% compliant. You can check the status of these documents on their profiles.

Can I cancel a Locum shift?

Yes, you can by simply finding the booked shift and canceling it. However, Rohme takes cancellation seriously in order to avoid unhappy staff. Please read our cancellation policy.

How do I filter candidates to match the medical skills I need?

It’s super easy and time effective to find the right candidate:

Search through our database for the available candidates. To identify the one who best matches your needs, you can filter your search by adding your preferences from the filter tab. If the perfect match is still not available, the job will be posted on our platform and as soon as a Locum that matches your criteria are available, we will send the job request to them.

How can I approve a locum timesheet?

With ease! When the locum has signed out of shift, you will receive a notification to confirm his working time. However if you do not agree with it, you are able to reject it but must explain the reasoning. Your response will  go back to the locum who can then edit his time or reply to you. We rely on trust, transparency and fair play.

How do I book a shift?

There are 2 ways of doing it:

  1. You will be notified if a Manager sends you a booking request. You can accept or decline the request, based on your availability, and on your terms.
  2.  You can select a job from a list of jobs relevant to you and apply for it. A request will be automatically sent to the manager. If you are the right fit for the role, the manager will select you.
How do I get reminders or notifications from the Rohme app regarding a booked shift?

You can select the type of notification you would like to receive from the app. However, we recommend to leave them turned on so you never miss out on anything. One of the solutions we offer is the ease of communication between our key players.
