Business Description

  • Markets practices to candidates with branded job advertisements and a Hot Jobs email sent to over 1,000 GPs, and offers long term recruitment partnerships for practices with ongoing needs.

Best for: general practices, corporate groups and rural and regional clinics recruiting permanent GPs, including overseas trained doctors.
