When it comes to evaluating locum tenens staffing agencies, claims are easy to make. Consistently high satisfaction scores are not.
On February 3, 2026, ClearlyRated released its annual Best of Staffing awards, recognizing healthcare staffing firms that earned top marks in the client and talent categories. The 2026 results spotlight locum tenens agencies known for reliable service, strong communication, and consistent clinician support.
The Best of Staffing designations are based on verified satisfaction surveys completed by clinicians and facility partners and independently audited by ClearlyRated. Out of hundreds of locum tenens agencies operating across the US, just 19 earned recognition for client satisfaction, while 24 were awarded for provider experience. Because the results are rooted in validated feedback, the awards serve as a trusted benchmark for evaluating agency performance and service standards.
For agencies, earning a Best of Staffing award reflects a sustained commitment to the locum tenens community. For physicians and advanced practice providers, it serves as a practical indicator when assessing potential staffing partners, highlighting firms that have demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and strong support for the clinicians they place.
