FROm THE FOUNDER

Hi, I'm Abrar 👋

I'm a British doctor. I started Messly in 2016 with my friend Chris to help physicians have more fulfilling careers. We're excited to bring Messly to US physicians 🇺🇸 🚀

As a physician I've experienced the challenges of finding the right locum tenens work. I know how it feels to miss out on better paid, more rewarding, or more convenient assignments, or just worry about getting started.

Messly is a faster, simpler and more transparent way to find locum tenens work. By giving you choice and putting the power in your hands, you get better paid, more rewarding, and more convenient roles.

We've partnered with PracticeMatch — who work with 300+ health systems and hold a database of 1.5M physicians — to bring that same service to physicians across the US.

HOW IT WORKS

How we find you the perfect assignment

We make finding locum tenens work faster and simpler and give you more control.

Step 1

Tell us what assignments you want

Set your assignment wishlist on your Messly profile, which states exactly what assignments you want. Then only see assignments matched exactly to those needs. No spam, no time-wasting and a personalized service for you.

Your Personalized Profile

Your profile on Messly includes your minimum hourly rate, how far you'll travel, your start date, preferred specialty and much more. It takes less than 5 minutes and helps you get exactly what you're looking for.

Stay Anonymous

We only include your first name on your profile. Only share your full name, NPI number or any contact details when you're ready with staffing companies you've selected.

Privacy First

Only recruiters from staffing companies that are vetted and approved by Messly can see your profile, so you don't need to worry about your colleagues or current hospital coming across it.

Step 2

Get matched with assignments near you

Staffing companies contact you through Messly, offering specific assignments upfront which are tailored to your wishlist. You manage all your conversations from your Messly Inbox, and don't share your personal details until you're sure that you want to go ahead. You can turn off your Messly profile any time, and nobody can contact you.

Your Recommended Assignments Feed

See personalized recommendations. We match your assignments based on your seniority, specialty, location, and pay rates.

See Available Assignments, Up Front

Staffing companies have to mention specific vacancies they have when they message you. No more vague promises of work that don't materialize. Most physicians will get multiple offers on the day they make their profile.

Reviews & Ratings

See reviews and ratings of staffing companies and recruiters written by verified physicians who have worked with them. No more guessing if you've chosen the right company.
