Outstanding candidate support
We are justifiably proud of our exemplary reputation for supporting candidates. From day one we provide all the guidance they need to prepare for exams, submit visa applications and get ready for their journey.
On arrival, we provide a VIP-standard welcome and candidates are given comprehensive support to settle in, well after they’ve landed and started their new roles – from assistance with formal tasks like opening bank accounts and registering with GPs, to helping them make friends and adjust to life in the UK.
Quality you can trust
Pre-screening is extremely rigorous with stringent compliance checks in line with NHS standards. Our priority focus is on high-calibre applicants with the very highest levels of experience and language skills.
Less than 60% of our applicants make it through and we consistently achieve interview-hire rates of over 75%, ensuring that the time our clients spend assessing candidates is used in the best possible way.
As a direct result of our focus on quality and candidate support, we have an outstanding retention rate, more than double the industry average, with almost all the professionals we recruit choosing to stay.
