Medical Recruitment Companies

Links to some of the many companies that work with International Medical Graduates.

Will a Medical Recruitment Company Help You?

I will firstly be able to guide you as to whether a recruitment company may help you as well as direct you to an effective agent should this be the case.
There is no cost to you for contacting me first. But I may sometimes receive a commission which goes a long way to helping me continue to provide free information to a large audience of doctors.

Note: in many cases the State Area of Need listings are not publicly available and you may have to look at the e-recruitment portals or go via a recruitment agent.

In reality, it is rare to find a viable Area of Need Post these days as employers prefer you apply to the college.
