Permanent Recruitment

Medacs Healthcare's experienced teams help organisations attract, recruit and retain experienced clinical talent for fixed term and permanent positions, sourcing doctors, nurses and allied health professionals from the UK and overseas.

Access to a Broad Talent Network

Medacs Healthcare combines more than 30 years of international healthcare recruitment experience with an extensive global network of candidates, recruiters and referral partners to help organisations access talent for specialist or hard-to-fill roles.

Our specialist sourcing teams use advanced, AI-enabled attraction campaigns, targeted search and headhunting to connect and engage with active and passive candidates across multiple markets.

Alongside candidate sourcing, we work with you to understand what makes your organisation an attractive place to build a career, helping to position opportunities effectively and improve candidate engagement.

This combination of market insight, global reach and specialist healthcare recruitment expertise enables us to attract candidates who are not only clinically capable, but also well aligned to your organisation and long-term workforce needs.

Note: Medacs Healthcare adheres to the DHSC Code of Practice for ethical international recruitment. For more information see the NHS Employers website.

Rigorous Screening Standards

Successful recruitment depends on more than filling vacancies. It relies on finding professionals who have the right clinical skills, experience and values for your organisation.

Every candidate shortlisted by Medacs Healthcare undergoes a detailed and clinically informed assessment process. Screening includes comprehensive pre-employment checks, professional verification, compliance assessments and language testing, all delivered in line with NHS and regulatory requirements.

Our recruitment teams take the time to understand each candidate's experience, career aspirations, communication skills and motivations before presenting them for consideration. This detailed approach helps ensure a stronger match between candidate and employer, reducing recruitment risk and improving long-term retention.

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 permanent professionals we recruit choosing to stay in their roles long term.

Supporting Newly Recruited Talent to Settle and Stay

For more than three decades, Medacs Healthcare has supported international healthcare professionals throughout every stage of their relocation journey, providing guidance before departure, during arrival and throughout the early stages of employment. Our dedicated candidate support teams help professionals navigate registration and visa requirements, relocation planning and practical settlement needs.

This ongoing support contributes to retention by helping candidates feel confident, connected and prepared for life and work in a new healthcare system. As a result, almost all of the professionals we place remain in their roles, delivering continuity for healthcare providers and stability for patients.

Combining careful candidate selection with comprehensive aftercare helps create successful long-term placements that benefit both organisations and the healthcare professionals they recruit.

Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO)

For organisations seeking a strategic recruitment partner, Medacs Healthcare provides end-to-end Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services that support every stage of the hiring journey.

RPO is often used when healthcare organisations need to recruit a number of permanent clinicians, address persistent vacancies, or improve the efficiency of existing recruitment processes. Rather than focusing on individual hires, RPO services provide end-to-end management of the recruitment lifecycle, from workforce planning and candidate attraction through to onboarding and retention.

Medacs Healthcare's RPO specialists work as an extension of your team, managing vacancy forecasting, job descriptions, sourcing, screening, interviews, offers and onboarding. Alongside recruitment delivery, we provide workforce insights that help inform recruitment strategy, strengthen employer value propositions and support long-term workforce planning.
