Our Mission
To make trust the foundation of healthcare staffing in Africa. We build the infrastructure that lets facilities confidently send verified professionals to patient bedsides — because staffing is not about availability, it's about trust.

Staffing Isn’t the Problem. Trust Is.
Facilities can find people fast. What they can’t find is confidence. We turned trust into a product layer that travels with every professional.
The Real Problem
Healthcare facilities don’t struggle to find workers. They struggle to trust them.
Trust as Product
OnLocum makes trust visible and actionable:
- 1Reputation tiersStandard → Pro → Elite based on verified performance.
- 2Portable trustReputation follows workers across facilities.
- 3Behavioral dataOn-time rates, completion rates, facility ratings.
- 4GPS verificationClock-in/out proves they showed up and worked the shift.
- 5Credential currencyExpiry tracking with auto-suspension on lapse.
Result: facilities get confidence at a glance, not a stack of documents.

The Trust Insight
The pivot wasn’t a new feature. It was a new lens on what facilities truly buy.
We built the marketplace.
We started where most staffing platforms start: connect supply with demand. We onboarded 900+ healthcare workers, yet facilities weren’t posting shifts.
The gap became clear.
Facilities said they didn’t trust the workers. We pointed to credentials. They replied: credentials don’t equal trust.
The insight shifted everything.
We had built a matching engine for a market that needed a trust engine. Facilities aren’t hiring workers—they’re granting access to vulnerable patients, controlled substances, and institutional reputation.
Today, trust compounds.
Every completed shift adds to a worker’s reputation. Facilities can see exactly who they’re letting through the door.
“Credentials don’t equal trust.”
That sentence reframed everything we built, from onboarding to reputation tiers.
“Trust became portable, measurable, and compounding — the layer that makes staffing decisions feel safe.”
