Over the past couple of years, the Trust have formed a great working relationship with Stuart and the wider team at Kaizen Recruitment. Whilst we were initially cautious of using recruitment agencies, we have been thoroughly impressed with the high quality candidates that have been supplied to us.

ClientPeople & OD partner, University Hospital- South West

I have worked with one of the founders of Kaizen Recruitment for many years and have always been impressed with the quality of service and dedication to sourcing reliable and genuine candidates we have been shown.

ClientHead of Medical Workforce, NHS Partnership Trust

We have used Kaizen Recruitment on several occasions to assist with finding the very best possible candidates and have always been very pleased with the service offered. There was delay with payment from our side, due to administrative error but the team at Kaizen were very understanding and supportive.

ClientBusiness Support Manager, NHS Foundation Trust- North West

Kaizen Recruitment have been really helpful in recruiting for this organisation. We have worked well in recruitment for posts in ED in particular. When we appointed four registrars from outside of the EU we had to go through the GMC SELR process to get them registered.

ClientChief Of Service Medicine & Medical Director

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to Kaizen Recruitment for your incredible support in getting me set up at the NHS. Your clear communication, expert rota management, and guidance through the NHS system were top-notch.

GIM RegistrarDr Bhardwaj- GIM Registrar

I'm delighted to share my positive experience with Mia Maybury from Kaizen Recruitment. As soon as I completed my FRCR, I was approached by multiple recruiting agencies who asked for my CV. But what truly set Mia apart was she knew exactly what role fit me just by having a quick conversation with me.

Radiology ConsultantDr. Shaikh- Radiology Consultant

After a long struggle to find employment in the UK, I got in touch with Drew Eaton from Kaizen Recruitment, who in a very short time found a job suitable for my skill set.

I recently moved to UK after completing my FRCR. Dane was the only person I spoke to from Kaizen Recruitment besides other agencies. Dane stood apart from most of the people I spoke too when I was looking to relocate. He is very diligent, kind, respectful and has been a huge help in making this move.
