Amazing at getting me locums! Thanks Charlie!
Always very professional and helpful
Charlie made the process incredibly easy and stress-free. He was flexible with my availability, always available to answer questions, and regularly checked in to ensure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!
All fine and smooth
Lizzie was amazing, found me shifts at the drop of a hat and sorted the admin aspect within record time! Also had the personal touch of a text to check in, ensuring everything was going well. Thanks Lizzie ☺️
Recruit4vets has been excellent for me. I am doing locum work for the first time in my long career. Jonny has found great placements, negotiated good rates, provided help where needed and is always really efficient.
Lizzie is great. Thanks for being so patient and productive when it comes to finding jobs for me x
Charlie is very approachable and friendly. He listened carefully and followed my search criteria and within 24 hours filled my agenda with the perfect position. After that, he assisted me with any query I had. Very happy with the service. 🙂 Will definitely recommend

This is one of the top recruitment agencies i have worked alongside with for a number of years. Ella and Catherine are fantastic there, they really do go the extra mile for their locums that they find job roles for. I cannot recommend this agency enough!
Phil & Ella are fab. Communication was fab and they found us a brilliant locum nurse Kerry 🙂
