This Agreement outlines the understanding and commitments between AJ Riggins Health Search LLC, Camden Healthcare Staffing LLC, Camden Healthcare Government Staffing LLC and their affiliates, (The Companies) and the named candidate (Candidate), pertaining to search assignments. It will ensure clear communication for all parties, including our Client, during the process of identifying the successful candidate for the position within our Client’s organization.
CIRCUMVENTION:
Circumvention is the act, deliberate or otherwise, of ascertaining the name of a hiring practice through The Companies, and then contacting that hiring practice directly, for the purpose of gaining employment.
THIS AGREEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT CANDIDATES ARE INTRODUCED TO, OR INFORMED OF, BY THE COMPANIES. THIS AGREEMENT IN NO WAY GIVES THE COMPANIES EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO A CANDIDATE'S JOB SEARCH EFFORT.
The following sections cover these situations:
- Clients of The Companies whose name has been disclosed to Candidates
- Clients of The Companies for whom Candidate has perfomed temporary work.
Interviews for permanent jobs
During the consideration period and for a period of two (2) years after the date of this agreement, Candidate agrees not to accept any employment with clients, that the Candidate has been introduced to, or informed of by The Companies, unless granted a written release from this provision by The Companies. Employment is defined as any work done as a permanent W2 employee, temporary employee or independent contractor, whether obtained through the Candidate's direct efforts, or through the efforts of another search agency.
Temporary Assignments
During the consideration period and for a period of two (2) years after the last date of a temporary assignment that the Candidate provided services for a client of the Companies, Candidate agrees not to accept any employment with the client, unless granted a written release from this provision by The Companies. Employment is defined as any work done as a permanent W2 employee, temporary employee or independent contractor, whether obtained through the Candidate's direct efforts, or through the efforts of another search agency.
Candidate acknowledges and agrees that The Companies, in addition to any other rights or remedies available, shall be entitled to injuntive relief to enforce the obligations of this agreement. The restrictions contained in this agreement, shall survive any terminations of business dealings between Candidate and The Companies. This restriction cannot be modified or waived except in a written agreement executed by the candidate and The Companies.
The US Government
The Companies acknowledge that to restrict candidates from entire government agencies nationwide is not reasonable or realistic. Therefore, for US Government jobs, the above restrictions apply only to the specific solicitation involved. Other situations with private or government entities may also qualify for a written release.
CONFIDENTIALITY:
Candidate agrees to maintain strict confidentiality regarding information received about positions from The Companies and/or the Client company in the course of the consideration and interviewing process. Candidate further agrees not to identify the Client, the title, duties or location of this position, or other pertinent information, to any other party, including any search firms or agencies, potential candidates, Client competitors or others, without CHS approval. Once the interview/consideration has begun, Candidate agrees to notify CHS any time the Client company contacts the Candidate directly.
FEES:
All fees are paid by the hiring organizations.

OVERVIEW OF MEDICAL MALPRACTICE FOR LOCUM TENENS
Kinsdale Insurance Company - AM Best rated A- (excellent)
Our policy limits of liability are $1,000,000 each claim/$3,000,000 Aggregate under a claims-made policy form.
Our policy is structured to provide "prior acts" coverage for "medical incidents" that occur while a provider is on assignment irrespective of the date the actual claim is made. The governing coverage/definition is the "retroactive date". The retroactive date determines how far back in time the policy will respond to "medical incidents" that are reported after the providers contract assignment has ended. The retroactive date remains constant with every policy renewal and it is that feature that eliminates the need for a "tail endorsement" as the prior acts coverage would respond to "medical incidents".
Our current retroactive date is June 1, 2008 and will remain unchanged as we continue to renew this policy. This ensures continuous coverage for any covered act, which occurred after the retroactive date and prior to the expiration, cancellation or non-renewal date of the current policy while you work as an independent contractor for the companies. BE ADVISED THAT SHOULD THE POLICY EXPIRE, BE CANCELLED, OR NOT BE RENEWED THEN ALL COVERAGE WOULD END ON THE DATE THE POLICY CANCELS, EXPIRES, OR NON-RENEWS.
