One of the best Recruitment Agencies you’ll ever meet.

My experience with them was unbelievable! These people are so open and honest and do exactly what they say they will do. Thank you, Resource Finder, for bringing me to the UK!

Resource Finder had the simplest requirements unlike with other agencies, which reduces anxiety.

My CoS was available in approximately two weeks, which is for me was a fast track and I was always provided with updates regarding my queries with assurance always there. The most crucial part was when I reach the UK and it is time for OSCE. I was so anxious at that time, but Resource Finder supported and motivated me, and now I have passed OSCE after being in the UK only nine days.   Unfortunately, I was sick for a day, and I reached out to Resource Finder whose team provided me with the time to assess my condition and gave me options including offering financial support for medication. This kind of action from an agency is very impactful because I felt cared for, and it boosts my moral to strive hard knowing there are people who trust in you to be successful. Thank you, Resource Finder.

We’ve worked with Resource Finder for five years now and it has been the best move we had ever made.

As a Trust we have a close working relationship that we know we can depend on. The support from Resource Finder has had a massive impact on the establishment, particularly for international nurses with a process that has become seamless and very easy to manage as a result of the expertise and the genuine passion Resource Finder has for what they do. I would recommend them to anybody!

My OSCE training was very informative. Kerry ensures that we know and understand everything. I gained a lot of confidence in OSCE through the course.

Kerry make sure that whatever she teaches is up to date with the marking criteria. She is giving each station practise material for us, also guiding us how to approach each station. Allowing us to practise the APIE and skill station, gives feedback which was very honest and comprehensive, and it is very helpful. She is always available to deal with queries that we have, very supportive and encouraging.

Having worked with Resource Finder in my last three Trust’s over the last seven years, I can say the reason we have continued to work together is the fact they always deliver.

I have witnessed the company’s growth; however, the level of personal service and close working relationship has always
been maintained. Top performance and delivery consistently!
