      <image:title>Career Advice - How to Build Strong Interprofessional Relationships at Work</image:title>
      <image:caption>Healthcare is delivered by multidisciplinary teams. Clinicians, managers, allied health professionals, support staff and leaders all bring different expertise, perspectives and priorities. When interprofessional relationships are strong, care is safer, services run more smoothly and staff feel more supported. When those relationships break down, communication suffers, conflict increases and patient outcomes can be affected. Building strong interprofessional relationships is therefore not a “soft” skill, but a core professional capability in healthcare.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - How to Advocate for Yourself at Work Without Burning Bridges</image:title>
      <image:caption>In healthcare, advocating for patients comes naturally. Advocating for yourself? That can feel far more uncomfortable. Many healthcare professionals worry about speaking up about workload, career progression, boundaries or recognition will label them as “difficult” or damage professional relationships. But self-advocacy is not about confrontation. Done well, it is a vital skill that supports career development, wellbeing and long-term impact. In high-pressure healthcare environments, learning how to advocate for yourself clearly, calmly and constructively is essential. Here is how to do it without burning bridges along the way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - How to Prepare for a Second Interview: What Employers Look For</image:title>
      <image:caption>A second interview is a strong signal of interest. You’ve already demonstrated that you meet the technical requirements of the role. Now, employers want to go deeper. In healthcare recruitment, second interviews are less about whether you can do the job and more about how you will do it, how you fit within the organisation and the long-term value you bring to patients, teams and services. This stage is often more detailed, more conversational and more strategic. Preparation is essential. Below are the key areas employers focus on during second interviews and how to approach them with confidence.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - Managing Shift Work: Tips to Stay Healthy and Balanced</image:title>
      <image:caption>Shift work is an essential part of healthcare. From nights and weekends to rotating rotas, many healthcare professionals spend their careers working outside the traditional 9-5. While this flexibility keeps services running, it can take a real toll on physical health, mental wellbeing and work-life balance if not managed carefully. The reality is that shift work affects sleep, energy levels, relationships and long-term health. But with the right strategies, it is possible to stay healthy, balanced and resilient while working shifts. Here are practical ways healthcare professionals can protect their wellbeing while managing demanding schedules.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - How to Navigate Workplace Conflict in Healthcare Settings</image:title>
      <image:caption>Conflict is an inevitable part of any workplace, but in healthcare where teams operate under sustained pressure and patient outcomes are directly affected, it carries greater significance.  Handled poorly, conflict can impact morale, collaboration, and ultimately patient care. Managed well, it can strengthen communication, improve decision-making, and build more resilient teams. The ability to navigate conflict constructively is therefore a crucial skill for senior healthcare professionals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - Common Healthcare Interview Questions and How to Answer Them</image:title>
      <image:caption>Healthcare interviews are rarely just about qualifications.

Below are some of the most common healthcare interview questions, along with guidance on how to answer them confidently and effectively.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - How to Ace Group and Panel Interviews in Healthcare</image:title>
      <image:caption>Group and panel interviews can feel intimidating, especially in healthcare where expectations around professionalism, communication and values are high. Instead of one conversation, you may be facing multiple interviewers, competing candidate, or both. It is not surprising many healthcare professionals find this format more challenging than a traditional one-to-one interview. The good news? With the right operations and mindset, group and panel interviews can become an opportunity to stand out for all the right reasons. Here is how to approach them with confidence and clarity.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - The Impact of Not Working with a Good Recruiter</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you are navigating the recruitment process independently, the hiring process can feel unclear, slow, and sometimes frustrating. Applications disappear into a black hole, interviews feel inconsistent, and feedback can be limited or vague. Without the recruiter guiding you, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing pieces of the puzzle, from what hiring managers are really looking for, to when it’s appropriate to follow up, to how to position your skills most effectively.  Here’s a closer look at what can happen when you do it alone in the healthcare job market.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - Handling Gaps in Your Healthcare CV: What to Say and Do</image:title>
      <image:caption>Career gaps are more common that many people think, especially in healthcare. Whether it is due to burnout, family leave, relocation, study, redundancy or simply taking time to reflect, stepping away from the profession does not mean you have stepped backwards. But if you are preparing to re-enter the workforce, it is natural to wonder how to explain that time away, even more so when healthcare recruitment can be highly competitive. Here is how to address gaps in your healthcare CV confidently and strategically.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In healthcare, we often focus heavily on qualifications, clinical expertise and technical competence and rightly so. But in today’s complex, people-driven environment, it is often soft skills that differentiate a good healthcare professional from a great one.  These are the skills that do not appear on a degree certificate but directly impact team performance, patient outcomes and leadership success.  Whether you are on the ward, managing services or leading at board level, these are the soft skills that will help you not just survive, but thrive in your healthcare career.</image:caption>

But real career progression is not just about getting a more senior title. It is about making intentional moves that align with your strengths, values and long-term goals. Here is how to stop and act on genuine career advancement opportunities before someone else does.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>For many healthcare professionals, networking feels like a corporate buzzword, more relevant to business or tech than clinical or operational roles in the NHS or private sector. While LinkedIn is an important tool, it is just one piece of the puzzle. In a sector built on collaboration, innovation and trust, relationships matter. Whether you are a Director of Nursing, a COO, or a rising clinical leader, strategic networking can shape your career in ways that job boards and CVs never could.

It’ll look like I’m looking for a job.” We understand. In healthcare, where loyalty, stability and discretion are highly valued, being visible on LinkedIn can feel... awkward.

      <image:title>Career Advice - Work-Life Balance in Healthcare: Is It Achievable?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The phrase “work-life balance” gets used a lot, but in healthcare, where patient care does not pause at 5 p.m., it can feel like a fantasy. Shift work, long hours, emotional intensity, and staffing pressures often leave little time or energy for anything outside of work. So let us ask the honest question: Is work-life balance in healthcare achievable? The short answer: Yes, but not without boundaries, intention, and support. Here is how to rethink what balance can look like in a healthcare setting and how to make space for life outside the job.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Healthcare is one of the most rewarding and demanding career paths. Whether you are managing high patient loads, navigating staff shortages, or handling emotionally intense cases, the work can take a toll.  That is why resilience is not just a buzzword. It is an essential skill for sustaining a long and meaningful career in healthcare.  Resilience is not about being tough all the time or pretending stress does not affect you. It is about building emotional strength so you can recover from setbacks, stay grounded under pressure, and continue showing up as the best version of yourself.</image:caption>

It is a familiar tale: an employee submits their resignation, and in a bid to retain talent, the current employer presents a counteroffer.

      <image:caption>The Eisenhower Method, or Eisenhower Principle, is a way of reviewing which tasks really need your attention now. Firstly, decide whether each task on your list is 1) important and 2) urgent. This leaves you with four task combinations: Important and urgent Important but not urgent Unimportant but urgent Neither important nor urgent The first group are tasks you should do immediately. Those that are important but not urgent can be scheduled for later. The two types of unimportant tasks can be either delegated - for those that are urgent - or deleted – for those that are neither urgent nor important.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - 7 tried and tested time management techniques - 5. Build-in Breaks with the Pomodoro Technique</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Pomodoro technique is fantastic for when you have a large task to complete in a limited time. It encourages making the most of the time you have by working in 25-minute sprints, followed by 5-minute breaks. After four of these sprints, take a longer break, 15 – 30 minutes or so, to give yourself a bit of time to recharge. Although a break every half hour may seem like a lot, this method means you will be working undistracted and fully focussed for 100 minutes out of every two hours, and those short breaks will ensure you remain productive during that time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - How training and development can support your healthcare career - The process of enhancing and maintaining professional knowledge and skills can be defined as Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Evidence of accomplishing CPD such as achieving specific competencies, reflective learning, and employer/employee agreed learning objectives can be showcased in a personal professional portfolio. This serves as a useful tool allowing for the ongoing collection of data to support your individual growth and serves to highlight learning, goal attainment, and key achievements, beneficial for the appraisal, performance review,  and interview process. CPD is something you should drive, and a good employer should support; it’s less about the training you receive when starting a new job, and more about the education you seek out to improve within your specific field or broaden your skillset.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Relocating for work is a big decision and moving to a new area can bring with it a lot of unknowns. One of the most important things to consider when you’re looking at moving for work is your budget and how any move would affect your financial security. Many companies will offer relocation assistance for candidates who are moving geographical locations to take up a role. This is becoming increasingly common in sectors such as healthcare where homeworking is impractical, as it allows employers to attract the best talent from around the UK and beyond. To explore this further, what specific factors should you research before accepting a job offer that requires relocation?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - Healthcare myth busting: Working in the independent sector</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a leading specialist healthcare recruitment firm, we regularly speak to candidates who are considering leaving the public sector to work privately, this move can be filled with trepidation. A high majority of healthcare professionals who train in the UK will start their careers in the NHS. When jobs become available in the private sector, some people fear they will be ‘abandoning’ the service, that they will lose job security, or that it will hinder their career. As is often the case, a lot of these narratives are based on misunderstandings of how the industry works, and others are just conjecture and rumour. Here are a few of the most common myths we hear about moving to the private sector, and the reality behind them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - Understanding and responding to workplace stress</image:title>
      <image:caption>Workplace stress is a common, yet often overlooked issue that can have a significant impact on an individual's physical and mental well-being. It can be defined by the physiological and emotional responses to job role demands, often not aligned with the capabilities, resources, or needs of the employee.  This results in a detrimental effect on an both an individual’s workplace performance and their overall quality of life. Identifying the signs of workplace stress is the first step towards managing it effectively. Common symptoms can include irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and physical ailments such as headaches or gastrointestinal issues. Moreover, behaviours such as increased absenteeism, decreased performance, and social withdrawal can also indicate stress. By recognising these signs early, both employers and employees can take proactive measures to address the issue before it escalates.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Career Advice - Be salary savvy, but consider your holistic needs</image:title>
      <image:caption>The demand for healthcare professionals is consistent and not showing any signs of decline. Independent healthcare providers are working harder than ever to engage and retain top talent with employer value propositions recognised as a prime growth strategy. Professional development programs, digital innovation, enhanced employee reward schemes, competitive salaries, and promotion of diverse inclusive cultures are key areas targeted in this approach. As a result, there has never been a better time to pursue a career in healthcare or make a career move. When navigating the job market, the salary offered plays a pivotal part in your decision-making process, but there are other things to consider. The healthcare industry is seeing a rise of the ‘savvy candidate’ that considers not only the gross salary but the work commute, company culture, aligned values, and professional development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Hiring for Culture Add: Building Stronger, More Innovative Healthcare Teams</image:title>
      <image:caption>In healthcare recruitment, “culture fit” has long been a popular term. While well-intentioned, hiring solely for fit can unintentionally limit diversity, reinforce groupthink, and exclude candidates who could bring valuable new perspectives.  A more effective approach is hiring for culture add. Culture add focuses on what unique value a candidate can bring to an organisation, rather than just how well they “fit in” with the existing team. Unlike culture fit, which often seeks similarity and comfort, culture add emphasises diversity of thought, experience, and perspective while still aligning with your organisation’s core values. Put simply, it’s about finding candidates who share your mission and standards of care while bringing fresh ideas, skills and strengths that help your organisation grow.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Rethinking the Job Description: Writing for Performance, Not Just Task</image:title>
      <image:caption>Job descriptions are often treated as static documents, created once and rarely revisited. Many focus heavily on listing tasks and responsibilities but fail to communicate what success in the role actually looks like. A well-written job description should do more than outline duties. It should define performance, set expectations and support better hiring and management outcomes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Scaling Quickly Without Sacrificing Quality Hires</image:title>
      <image:caption>In healthcare recruitment, growth often comes fast. New contracts, increased patient demand or service expansion can require teams to scale rapidly. While speed is critical, hiring too quickly without the right strategy can lead to poor-quality hires, increased turnover and added pressure on already stretched teams.  The challenge isn’t choosing between speed and quality, it’s knowing how to achieve both.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Congratulations, your candidate has accepted the offer! It is a pivotal moment in healthcare recruitment. But the journey does not end there. In fact, the time between offer acceptance and day one, often called the preboarding period, is critical to securing your new hire’s commitment and setting them up for success. This phase is also where many organisations lose candidates, often due to a lack of engagement, communication or clarity. Closing the preboarding gap is essential to ensure your new team member starts confidently, motivated and ready to contribute.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - The Role of Hiring Managers vs Recruiters: Who Does What? - Hiring is a team sport. But in many organisations, especially fast-paced ones like healthcare, the players are not always clear on their roles.   When responsibilities between hiring managers and recruiters are well defined, the hiring process runs smoothly and efficiently, delivering stronger outcomes. But when those roles blur, the result is often confusion, delays, and poor hiring decisions.   So who does what?</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Inclusive Language in Job Ads: A Practical Guide - If your job advert is unintentionally turning away qualified candidates, your talent pipeline is already limited before you have even begun.   Inclusive language in recruitment is not about political correctness. It is about strategic, effective communication that ensures you attract the best talent, regardless of gender, age, race, background, or ability.   In healthcare, where workforce diversity drives better outcomes and stronger teams, inclusive language is not optional. It is essential.   Here is how to make sure your job adverts welcome the right candidates, rather than unintentionally filtering them out.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - The Case for Recruitment Marketing Automation - Recruiting top healthcare talent has never been more competitive or more complex. Between staffing shortages, evolving candidate expectations, and constant pressure to fill critical roles quickly, traditional recruiting methods are no longer enough.   That is where recruitment marketing automation comes in.   By using smart tools to streamline and personalise the candidate journey, healthcare organisations can stay ahead of hiring needs, attract higher-quality applicants, and save valuable time.   Here is why recruitment marketing automation is no longer a nice-to-have; it is a strategic must.</image:title>

This meeting sets the foundation for a smooth recruitment journey by aligning everyone involved on goals, expectations, and timelines. In healthcare organisations, where roles are often highly specialised and the stakes are high, a thorough kick-off meeting is essential.

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Why Your Hiring Funnel Might be Leaking Candidates - Finding skilled professionals who align with your organisation’s values and needs can be challenging, especially when your hiring funnel is leaking talented candidates before they reach the finish line.   A ‘leaky’ hiring funnel means losing potential hires at various stages of the recruitment process, often without knowing why. This leads to longer time-to-fill, increased recruitment costs, and, most importantly, missed opportunities to hire top talent who could make a real impact.   Here is a closer look at why your hiring funnel might be leaking candidates and what you can do about it.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Interview Fatigue is Real: Streamlining the Process Without Cutting Corners - Finding the right candidate quickly is crucial, but the interview process can often become exhausting for everyone involved. Interview fatigue is real, and if not addressed, it can lead to lost talent, reduced candidate engagement, and longer hiring cycles.   As healthcare recruiters, we have seen firsthand how overly long or repetitive interview processes can overwhelm candidates who are already juggling demanding schedules and responsibilities. At the same time, rushing through interviews can leave candidates feeling steamrolled and undervalued, which risks losing great talent.   So, how can we strike the right balance? Here are some key strategies to streamline the interview process without cutting corners:</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - How to Create a Compelling “Why Join Us” Narrative - In healthcare, job seekers aren’t just looking for roles. They’re looking for meaningful work, trustworthy leadership, and a culture that aligns with their values.   That’s why having a strong “Why Join Us” narrative is no longer optional. It’s your employer brand elevator pitch. It tells candidates not only what you do, but why it matters, how it feels to be part of your team, and what makes your workplace different from the hospital or clinic down the road.   As recruiters, we’ve seen time and again how a well-crafted narrative can attract the right people more quickly and keep them for longer.   Here’s how to build one that truly resonates.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - The Hidden Cost of Vacancy: Why Speed in Healthcare Recruitment Matters - In healthcare, every unfilled position isn’t just a line item on a staffing report, it’s a direct hit to patient care, staff morale, and organisational performance. Yet many employers underestimate the true cost of vacancy, treating unfilled roles as temporary inconveniences rather than strategic liabilities.   The reality? Vacancy costs compound quickly and quietly. Understanding and calculating the real return on investment (ROI) of timely hiring is key to building the business case for smarter, faster recruitment.   Let’s explore what vacancy truly costs, how to quantify it, and how recruiters and HR leaders can turn this insight into action.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - The Role of Employer Flexibility in Attracting Diverse Talent - Flexibility is no longer a perk, it’s a strategic imperative. For healthcare organisations seeking to attract and retain a diverse, high-performing workforce, employer flexibility is one of the most effective tools available. From shift patterns to parental leave policies, the ability to accommodate individual needs and circumstances signals a culture of respect, inclusivity, and forward-thinking leadership. This is especially critical in healthcare, where burnout, demographic shifts, and skills shortages intersect daily. So, what does employer flexibility look like in practice and how can it support diversity in the healthcare workforce?</image:title>

As healthcare recruiters, we’ve seen first hand how organisations that prioritise a talent-centric culture are more resilient, efficient, and ultimately, more successful. Here’s how healthcare organisations can shift from reactive hiring to proactive culture-building, bridging the gap between recruitment and long-term retention.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - What Onboarding Says About Your Hiring Process - You’ve invested time, money, and energy into finding the right candidate. The offer is accepted, the contract signed. Job done? Not quite.   What happens after the hire is just as important as the hiring process itself. In the eyes of a new employee, onboarding isn’t a separate HR task. It’s the final and most revealing stage of your recruitment journey. Done well, it reinforces everything your organisation promised during interviews. Done poorly, it can lead to early disengagement, a loss of trust, and even early resignations.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - What Candidates Really Think About Your Careers Page - When it comes to attracting top healthcare talent, your careers page is often the first real impression a candidate has of your organisation. And just like any first impression, it sticks. While job boards and recruitment agencies can help you reach active jobseekers, your careers page is where candidates go to learn who you are, what you stand for, and whether they can picture themselves in your team. If your page is bland, outdated, or difficult to navigate, you could be losing the very professionals you’re trying to attract without even realising it. So what do candidates really think when they land on your careers page?</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Top reasons candidates decline job offers and how to address them</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the most frustrating outcomes with a recruitment process is if a candidate declines a job offer. It is a waste of everyone's time, and a real bugbear for anyone involved. The situation can be avoided, with a good recruiter being able to recognise the tell-tale signs of a failing campaign, intervening swiftly. However, with many external influencing factors, it is not always possible to predict the unforeseen and  a change in a candidate’s personal circumstances can result in role rejection. If you are witnessing this on a regular basis, the ability to understand a candidate’s reason for declining an attractive employment offer becomes imperative in refining future hiring strategies and enhancing the employer branding. This article serves to explore some of the most common reasons candidates might walk away from a job offer and offers actionable solutions to address these challenges.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Maximising&amp;nbsp;your hiring process: The power of employee referrals - Sourcing quality candidates is challenging! Traditional recruitment channels often fall short in providing qualified candidates who are culturally aligned. This is where the innovative strategy of employee referrals comes into play, positioning itself as a potent tool that can radically transform recruitment outcomes. The concept of employee referrals is simple yet powerful: current employees are encouraged to recommend candidates for open positions within their organisation. This approach taps into the pre-existing social networks of employees, thereby expanding the reach of recruitment efforts.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Increase your job applications: State the salary! - Healthcare providers compete fiercely for talent that aligns not only with their skill requirements but also with their cultural ethos. This competitive nature has been magnified by the shift in candidate expectations; today’s job seekers are not just interested in the role itself but are keenly aware of the organisational values they are stepping into. Transparency, especially concerning salary, plays a pivotal role in shaping these expectations. The digital age, characterised by platforms like Glassdoor and LinkedIn, has empowered candidates with insights into workplace cultures and employer practices, thus heightening the demand for openness in all employment dealings.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - The power of interview feedback - As the job market becomes increasingly competitive, the importance of the candidate experience cannot be understated. Healthcare providers are realising that beyond the process of simply filling vacancies, candidate perception of their journey through the recruitment process plays a monumental role in shaping the overall success and reputation of the company itself. The candidate experience refers to the sum of all interactions that potential employees have with a company throughout the recruitment process, stretching from the first point of contact—be it a job advert or referral—through to the final stage of hiring decision and onboarding. Each round presents an opportunity to influence the candidate's perception, embedding either a positive or a negative impression. Research suggests that a poor candidate experience can impact an employer’s reputation considerably—candidates who have a negative experience are often vocal about their displeasure, which can deter others from applying and tarnish the employer’s public image.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - Navigating salary expectations: A guide for employers - Understanding salary expectations is vital to attracting and retaining the best talent available. Recently there has been a dramatic reaction from healthcare employers responding to workforce needs leading to the introduction of employee-centric benefits that enhance professional growth and increase job satisfaction. However, the most compelling reason for an employee to stay in their current position or alternatively consider a career move is when the salary offered is aligned to the market.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - How to diversify your talent pipeline - Amid the war for talent, more and more companies are refocussing their efforts on ensuring their workplaces are diverse and inclusive, to attract workers who can think differently, and bring fresh perspectives to the challenges they face. Though there is still a lot of work to be done, gone are the days of a business being able to pay lip service to diversity and inclusion – today’s savvy job seekers are looking for the real deal, and will walk away from job offers if they smell insincerity.</image:title>

      <image:title>Hiring Advice - How recruiters shape and enhance your employer brand - The concept of healthcare employer branding revolves around the company’s identity as an employer. It encompasses its core mission, values, and beliefs, displaying its workplace culture and service provision to the wider community. As healthcare companies compete for highly skilled professionals, the employer brand emerges as a critical differentiator that influences not only candidate attraction but also employee retention and overall company reputation.</image:title>

As these technological advancements continue to unfold, there is an increasing demand for recruitment strategies to embrace the adoption of digital innovations.

      <image:title>Reasons to work with us - Are you an internal recruiter or HR professional looking to hire?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many organisations that we work with have an internal recruitment function. The scope of these teams varies significantly but even teams that adopt sophisticated sourcing models (including outsourcing solutions) don’t have the skills to headhunt or have ethical restraints that prevent them from doing so. No matter how well your team performs you will spend 80% of your time trying to fill the 20% of jobs that are ‘difficult to fill’. This is where we add value. The industry leaders that we represent want to reduce recruitment costs and secure the interest of top performing candidates. By filling everyday recruitment directly, costs can be reduced but without a commitment to sourcing top talent, key stakeholder relationships become fractious. Let us compliment your recruitment model, utilise our headhunting skills to find the candidates working for rival brands that can walk through your doors and deliver an immediate return on investment.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608a9f7bf1a00a5ecd1917d1/1619697539322-K2INDREAL5DX9O794KCU/FT+photo.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Reasons to work with us - Are you a manager looking to hire?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Most managers that we work with are keen to secure the interest of candidates who are getting attention from rival firms – they are the ones that can walk through the doors and deliver. Sourcing these candidates is not easy – they are not actively looking to make a career move, they are not sitting on a CV database and they will not apply to an advert no matter how enticing the content. This is where we add value. With no reliance on attracting candidates via advertising or searching CV databases we speak directly with candidates working for your competitors. We are highly tenacious with the pursuit of talent – our search process incorporates a ‘refer a friend scheme’ that specifically targets manager and peer groups that work amongst rival brands. We use clever software that traces candidates through social media.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Reasons to work with us - Be represented by the best in industry!</image:title>
      <image:caption>We know how to find candidates that will join your business and hit the ground running. 73% of candidates sitting on cv databases including LinkedIn are passive job seekers, they are open to hearing about new career opportunities, but they are not actively seeking jobs. The result of this is out of date CVs and incorrect contact details, so if you want to speak to these individuals, you must be highly tenacious. This is where we add value. Our obsession in improving our people, process and practice, yields great results - we make exceptional candidate matches. Our hard working teams are easy to work with and have a genuine desire to create a great experience for all involved</image:caption>

Our process enables you to benchmark the calibre of candidates, so you can guarantee you have secured the best available candidate.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our services - Improve your employer brand</image:title>
      <image:caption>Bad hires typically result in disgruntled employees, the risk with this is saboteur behaviour during their tenure and post-employment. This can lead to reputation issues and prevent you hiring future employees. Overcoming a negative brand perception is easier for a third party to manage, whilst we are impartial, we know your competition and we know how to set you apart from them. When we recruit for you we’re not just filling a job, we are acting as your ‘brand ambassador’, every candidate will have a great experience regardless of them securing the role.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our services - Improve retention</image:title>
      <image:caption>Using us versus a direct sourcing model improves the quality of candidate and this improves retention. The two biggest costs associated with hiring someone is recruitment and then onboarding - training employees and integrating them successfully requires a high level investment and it takes time. Depending on the complexity of the role it can take anything between 3 to 12 months to reach full productively so it’s a crushing blow when you’ve made a bad hire.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Improving Healthcare Outcomes. Recruiting healthcare professionals who make a difference.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Since 2008, we've been matching talented healthcare professionals to some of the UK's most prestigious healthcare providers. Our commitment to our process and our practice has earned us a great reputation, but our strength lies in our unparalleled industry knowledge and ability to match candidates – it's our job to understand your industry. We know your competition and how to set you apart from them. Our primary skill is headhunting – our ability to unearth talented professionals who are not easily accessible makes us stand out from the crowd. This capability enables us to identify candidates who are not actively looking to make a move, they are not sitting on a CV database, and they will not apply to an advert no matter how enticing the content</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Our Fertility Journey</image:title>
      <image:caption>As a company of Stroud Resourcing a leading healthcare recruitment firm, our heritage of recruiting within fertility &amp; Women’s health dates back to 2008. Inspired by their own personal challenge in starting a family, the founders of Stroud Resourcing made the decision in 2021 to launch Fertility Talent, the UK’s first dedicated recruitment firm within this sector. By sharing their story we hope to raise awareness to the struggle of patients trying to become parents and raise appreciation to the healthcare professionals who make a difference every day.</image:caption>
