Why should I recruit internationally?

Why do we need to recruit internationally?

  • Rise in Demand – There is an increasing need and rise in demand for healthcare professionals as a result of an ageing population, an ageing workforce, and an increased focus on the quality of care.
  • Vacancy Rates Soaring – NICE recommend a maximum vacancy rate of 5% nationally. Currently the vacancy rate is almost double this with one in nine nursing posts lying vacant. In some hospitals that goes up to one in three. There is a shortage of approximately 40,000 nurses in the UK alone.
  • Brexit – Britain’s departure from the UK has resulted in a significant drop in the supply of healthcare candidates from the EU. In some areas we need to look further afield to find the specialist skills we need.

Benefits of recruiting permanent internationally

  • Save Money – Reduce agency costs and reinvest that money in other services
  • Provide Better Patient Care – Temporary staff do not provide the care consistency of a permanent employee
  • Improve Staff Retention – Non-European Economic Area recruits tend to complete a minimum 3 year contract
  • Fill Your Skills Gaps – Create a sustainable workforce that provides the clinical capabilities you need long-term
