What past exhibitors have to say about the expo

“PSS International are once again impressed with the number of serious migrants that the Working In Opportunities Abroad / Health Jobs Around the World Expos have attracted. We have been exhibiting with Working In since the outset, and can attest to the fact they have their finger on the pulse and always get the right people through the doors. The operations team on the ground never fails to impress. Thank you and see you again next year!”
Susan J Corke, PSS International Removals

“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, five pharmacists, three physiotherapists, two 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.”
Dr Khaled Alkandari – International Health Services, Kuwait

“I’ve been impressed by the number and diversity of health professionals that have come to the expos. I have generated 174 applications and, additionally, this has been a very useful branding opportunity. Based on the success of this year we are planning to come back next year.”
Margaret McCallum, South Australia Health

“Amazing opportunity for networking. A lot more participants than expected. Overall, a very productive expo. We’ll be back in 2010!”
Viviane Goodwin, Medacs

“With the UK and Ireland being a primary market for skilled clinicians, Queensland Health will continue to be involved with this expo series. Good numbers of skilled candidates attended these Expos, with the end result being additional experienced clinicians for Queensland’s public health system.”
Paul Stephens, Queensland Health

“If you are going to recruit in the UK, I would strongly suggest you use Working In.”
Gary McIntosh, Manitoba Health, Canada

“We will make 15 job offers to nurses. In 12 months time between six-12 nurses will turn up at The Bays. That will be equivalent to our current shortfall. The expos are better than using agents or recruitment consultants. Less costly and more effective as they allow you to assess the culture and personality fit of staff that will be working with you.”
Peter Wilkinson, The Bays Hospital Group

“Quality is excellent. We’ve found a couple of almost perfect candidates...We’ll be back next year.”
Jon Cooper, Aspen Medical, Australia
