OUR OFFER.....

We are committed to delivering a fully comprehensive and efficient recruitment process. This is an end to end process designed to meet all NHS recruitment needs regardless of the role, contract type, or discipline.
Having worked within the health and social care, and public sectors for many years, we have vast specialist knowledge, and a firm grasp on the candidate market.
While we are based in the North East, we have vast experience of successfully recruiting outside of the region, having recruited for positions across London, the North West, the South West, and the Midlands.
We have the expertise on our team to offer our service UK wide, and we are not limited to the type of roles we work on.
Our consultants are experienced and highly skilled Healthcare Recruiters who will invest time in understanding the role, its requirements, and will then use their knowledge of the candidate market, together with a package of tools and resources to identify the strongest candidates for consideration.
Once candidates are identified, we manage the full end to end process, liaising with the client and the candidates throughout the assessment process, and providing support with the offer and the appointment of the candidate. We will carry out compliance checks together with any additional vetting and verification checks that the NHS require, and we will endeavour to complete these as quickly as possible to avoid any unnecessary delays to the recruitment process.
We maintain communication with both the NHS and the candidate until the candidate has successfully taken up appointment and started their role. We do this to ensure the desired outcomes have been met and that everyone is satisfied with the process.

CANDIDATE CARE...

• We know that our candidates are the 'stars of our show' and as such we deliver a high standard of candidate care, ensuring they feel valued and represented fairly and honestly.
• We ensure our candidates understand the application process, inclusive of the assessment, vetting and verification processes.
• We ensure candidates are fully briefed on the opportunity, supporting them at every stage of the process, ensuring they are adequately prepared.
• Via our high standard of candidate care, we ensure candidates are kept informed and engaged throughout the recruitment process. This minimises the potential risk of dropout or disengagement.
• We notify candidates of their success or failure at each stage.
• We are genuinely interested in what our candidates have to say about our process, and so invite our candidates to give honest feedback. We capture this feedback and use it as part of our ongoing self evaluation.
