Hear what three practice managers said about us in August, they have all shared great feedback on how we’ve helped streamline their recruitment and secure the right staff effectively.
- “We have now recruited for our receptionist position. I wanted to let you know it’s been a really positive process from when we requested the advert to go live, it was posted really quickly, response to the advert – really good quality candidates and lots of responses, using the system to manage the applicants and invite them for interview.”
- “You have made the recruitment of new staff so much simpler for me. The calibre of the applicants is better than expected and any changes or amendments have been dealt with swiftly and efficiently.”
- “We are happy with our experience of using Primary Care Careers. The website is easy to navigate and staff have always been helpful and quick to reply to any queries we have. We have successful recruited 3 new members of staff over recent weeks. Thank you!”
