County Durham healthcare recruiter fills thousands of new jobs

A North East full-service recruiter has filled thousands of medical roles across the region and beyond during the COVID-19 outbreak.

MedSolve UK, which is headquartered in Chester-le-Street, has placed candidates in over 2,500 jobs across nursing and care amid the ongoing coronavirus crisis.

The firm, which specialises in recruitment across the healthcare sectors, has transformed its interview and training processes to meet the growing demand for staff as well as adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Using virtual interviewing and online training courses, the firm has been able to place thousands of staff across the North East and South West regions.

Lisa Dodds, managing director of MedSolve UK, commented: “Our experienced staff have been amazing and are picking up as many shifts as they possibly can, with the small exception of those that are needing to self-isolate due to keeping their families safe.

“Coronavirus has had an impact on businesses everywhere and we have been no different. We’ve had to completely adapt to the current climate by changing our usual interview process and we’re helping staff with travel wherever we can.”

“It’s been amazing for us to be able to assist our clients in filling these important roles within an urgent timeframe and our team has been fantastic in offering that external support.”
