International recruitment done properly
We source, screen, license, and deploy healthcare professionals from global talent pools — handling everything from DataFlow to first-day arrival so your HR team doesn't have to.
What sets us apart
Multi-region sourcing
Most agencies recruit from a single source country. We operate across multiple regions and continents — Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia. This gives you access to greater diversity, a wider skills pool, and salary flexibility. Package costs vary by nationality, and we help you build a workforce mix that meets your clinical needs and your budget.
Volume interview capability
We organise in-person recruitment trips — travelling to your facility to plan and execute the visit with you. For high-volume requirements we run online mass interview days, screening hundreds of candidates in a single day. Whether you need 2 or 200, we have the infrastructure.
All specialities. All seniority.
From newly qualified staff nurses to senior consultants. From general ward to subspecialty ICU. We recruit across every clinical discipline and every level of seniority. There is no requirement too small and no programme too large.
End-to-end international placement — not just sourcing
Most agencies stop at introductions. We manage the entire journey from candidate identification to post-deployment support — reducing your HR burden and improving retention outcomes.
Candidate sourcing & screening
We access a global network of qualified healthcare professionals across Nursing, Midwifery, AHP, and Physician categories. Initial screening covers qualification verification, experience level, language competency, and destination eligibility before any candidate reaches you.
- Qualification and registration verification
- Experience and clinical competency assessment
- English language and communication screening
- Destination-specific eligibility check
Licensing & regulatory management
We manage the full licensing pathway — DataFlow submission, SCFHS/DHA/QCHP/NHRA/NMC/HCPC applications, document chasing, and status tracking — so your HR team receives candidates who are ready to deploy, not stuck mid-process.
- DataFlow submission and tracking
- Gulf licensing body registration management
- UK NMC / HCPC pathway support
- Document preparation and quality control
Visa coordination & deployment
We liaise with your PRO and coordinate all documentation required for visa processing. We provide candidate briefings covering accommodation, cultural norms, first-day logistics, and post-arrival contacts — reducing no-shows and early attrition.
- Visa document preparation
- PRO liaison and coordination
- Pre-departure candidate briefing
- Post-arrival first-week support
Ongoing account management
Your account is managed directly by a named consultant, not a call centre. We handle ongoing placement needs, manage candidate retention concerns before they become resignations, and provide market intelligence on salary competitiveness.
- Named account manager
- Proactive retention monitoring
- Contract renewal management
- Salary benchmarking on request

What we do. What we don't do.
We won't send you candidates who aren't eligible. Every profile we present has been assessed for destination-specific licensing requirements, qualification standards, and clinical experience.
We track DataFlow and licensing body applications, chase delays, and escalate where needed. You shouldn't have to ask us where a candidate is in the process — we tell you.
We tell candidates exactly what to expect before they arrive. That transparency reduces first-week dropouts and contract early-terminations — which ultimately saves you recruitment cost.
A candidate who has a problem in their first month will call Prodesse before they call HR. We handle that call and resolve issues before they escalate to resignation.
We are a registered NHS Ethical Recruiter. We do not charge placement fees, processing fees, or any other charge to candidates. Our income comes entirely from employer fees.
We do not operate a CV-forwarding model. Every candidate we present has been spoken to, assessed, and confirmed as willing and eligible before their profile reaches you.
We don't consider a placement complete once a candidate starts. Account management continues through the contract period, with proactive outreach at 3, 6, and 12 months.
If a candidate isn't a fit for your role, we'll say so rather than present them anyway. Our reputation — and yours — depends on quality, not quantity.
Three profession categories. One process.
Nurses & Midwives
Staff nurses, ICU/critical care, theatre, midwives, community nurses, charge nurses, and nursing management. Sourced globally with particular strength in UK, Irish, Filipino, Indian, South African, and Zimbabwean trained professionals.
Allied Health Professionals
Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, radiographers, laboratory scientists, pharmacists, speech therapists, dietitians, and other AHP categories. Gulf destinations have strong and consistent demand.
Physicians & Consultants
General practitioners, specialist consultants, and senior medical professionals. Placement is selective and managed by senior consultants. Packages are fully bespoke to specialty, experience, and institution.
Compliance isn't a checkbox. It's how we operate.
Prodesse is a registered NHS Ethical Recruiter. We operate under the NHS Code of Practice for International Recruitment — which means transparent employment terms and no active recruitment from countries experiencing severe healthcare workforce shortages.
For employers, our ethical status is relevant beyond compliance: candidates who join through an ethical recruiter are more likely to feel fairly treated, reducing early attrition and reputational risk for your institution.
Independently verified compliance with the NHS Code of Practice
