When a new opportunity opens, the very first thing we do is look to the doctors already in our community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large number of the opportunities we work on move quietly in the background. Many vacancies never make it onto job boards or LinkedIn. They are filled through our trusted networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How it works<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We take very specific job briefs from our clients including their needs for skillset, availability, interests, and sometimes even personality fit. When we identify permanent or locum doctor vacancies or GP opportunities, we look for the talent in our network who matches the brief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we treat you as an individual, not just a CV<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we never send your details to a client without your knowledge and consent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we never send your CV unsolicited<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>For doctors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to partnering with doctors, we are passionate about putting people first.
