Success Stories
“We are targeting nurses, hospital doctors, general practitioners, radiographers, sonographers and midwives, which the UK has a lot of quality candidates for. We were visited by 200 candidates, which were of good quality and can be easily placed. We came to the shows to recruit hard-to-fill-and-find specialities, which we feel we will achieve through the March 2010 Expos. The Working In expos are better than other expos I’ve been to. The quality of visitors is much better than elsewhere.”
Carly Smith, IPA Personnel, Australia
"We saw a mix of fantastic candidates. General quality of candidates was good."

“We had thousands of people visit our stand. We are happy with the quality. We collected 200-300 leads from London and Manchester and gave out double that in packs.

“The Health Jobs Around the World Expos were highly successful. Having attended both the London and Manchester events, I was very impressed with the quantity and calibre of the healthcare professionals that attended looking for new careers abroad.

"Four doctors have signed employment agreements and are now working for us. We have made job offers to another 8 doctors and are currently in negotiation with them. Subject to confirmation of their qualifications, we have also offered jobs to: 25 nurses, 5 pharmacists, 3 physiotherapists, 2 beauticians, an infection control nurse and an occupational therapist. These are all difficult roles to fill. The Expos offer organisations like ours the opportunity to meet other hospitals from around the world and discuss possible affiliation in education, recruitment, setting up referrals, video conferencing, guidance on administration and issues like marketing. I would recommend other hospitals sign up for the full tour as we can recruit even more doctors from outside London. I will definitely be back next year"
