At Messly, we aim to make your search for locum work as simple and rewarding as possible. That’s why we’ve introduced Featured Jobs, a new way for recruiters to highlight key opportunities directly to you. But what does this mean, and how does it help you? Here’s a breakdown.


What Are Featured Jobs?

Featured Jobs are roles selected by recruiters to receive special visibility on your Discover page and emails.. These are typically high-priority positions that recruiters want to fill quickly or opportunities that match common preferences among doctors, such as competitive rates, desirable locations, or flexible working conditions.


When a job is featured, it’s prioritised on your Discover page, meaning it appears at the top of your list and is marked as a "Featured Job" with a clear label. This ensures it stands out from other roles, saving you time and helping you spot the most relevant opportunities faster.

Why Are Some Jobs Featured?

Recruiters use the Featured Jobs feature to promote roles that are especially important to them. This might include:

  • Urgent vacancies that need to be filled quickly.

  • Highly competitive roles with attractive pay rates or benefits.

  • Jobs in popular locations or departments that many doctors are looking for.

  • Unusual roles that you may be interested in

By featuring jobs, recruiters can ensure the best opportunities are seen first by doctors who are actively searching for locum work.

Featured Jobs Are Always Recent

One important thing to know about Featured Jobs is that they are only promoted for 7 days. This means you can be confident that every Featured Job you see is recent and relevant. After 7 days, the job will return to its normal position in the list, so you won’t see outdated or inactive roles marked as “Featured.”

This time limit ensures that you’re always looking at fresh opportunities, making it easier to focus on the roles that are currently available.

How Do Featured Jobs Benefit You?

The Featured Jobs feature is designed with your convenience in mind. Here’s how it helps:

  1. Saves Time: Instead of scrolling through dozens of roles, you’ll see the most in-demand and relevant opportunities right at the top of your page.

  2. Highlights Key Opportunities: Featured Jobs make it easier for you to spot roles that recruiters think will be a great match for you.

  3. Keeps You Updated: Featured Jobs ensure that you don’t miss out on roles that may be popular or quickly filled due to high demand.

What Should You Do When You See a Featured Job?

If a Featured Job catches your eye, take a moment to review the details and see if it aligns with what you’re looking for. These roles are often high-priority, so acting quickly—whether by applying or requesting more information—can increase your chances of securing the position.

Featured Jobs are a new way for recruiters to bring top locum opportunities directly to you. They ensure that high-demand roles are easier to find, saving you time and helping you focus on roles that match your preferences. Keep an eye out for the "Featured Job" label as you browse your jobs page to stay ahead of the game in your locum work search.

We hope this makes your experience on Messly even smoother and more efficient. If you have any questions about Featured Jobs, feel free to reach out to our team. Happy job hunting!
