What it's like to be in Medical Recruitment
A career in medical recruitment is demanding but also rewarding. It is a complex and challenging sales role. It is not HR.
It is not “just a job”, it is much more of a way of life.
By helping the healthcare system every day and providing doctors to fill critical positions, you will be rewarded with a sense of purpose, achievement, a great package and some experiences and relationships you will never forget.
In the candidate short, high demand market, We don’t just advertise on a job board and hope for the doctors to come to us, because they wont.
It involves managing the expectations and needs of highly skilled and pressured people working in challenging healthcare environments.
Unlike many careers it is a true meritocracy and 1Medical benchmarks our remuneration against the market to make sure we are rewarding people appropriately.
Our approach
WFH? The office is where you will learn your craft!
Due to the complex nature of doctor recruitment we have an office focused culture, but we try our best to create a flexible balance for our team. We provide the flexibility to work from home when they really need to, and encourage a regular day a week at home, once you have become competent and more autonomous. We have some very successful remote consultants, but they learnt their craft in the office!
Flexibility – Exercise on your own schedule!
Healthcare work is diverse, and doctors often work varied shift times. To help with this we are flexible with our team and assist them to create their best daily schedule to match the type of doctors they are working with.
Refresh & replenish with - Wellbeing Leave
Take the time you need to recharge and refocus. Enjoy a half-day off every 6 months to prioritise your mental and physical wellness without using up your annual leave.
We provide a wellness allowance to treat yourself to something that enhances your health and wellness journey. Whether it’s a gym membership, a massage or a yoga class.
Incentive Work Outings
To reward our team for their achievements and hard work, we have monthly, quarterly and annual work events. We celebrate performance and in return have company dinners and events to show our appreciation to all our staff members.
All expenses paid trip!
Every year we create a target for all our employees to work towards and if the target is met, all team members who contributed to the target are taken out for a complimentary holiday vacation with all expenses paid for.
Annual Leave – Extra leave!
Instead of 20 days of annual leave, we increased our leave days for an additional day a year up to 25 days instead. For people that are performing well, we are fairly relaxed when it comes to holidays, especially for the ex-pats needing to get back home to see the family!

Events
As a company, we engage in yearly team-building activities. We take part in the GreenFleet tree planting scheme to help the environment but also an opportunity to get out in the sun and engage in fun teamwork.
We get involved in team sporting events to encourage physical well-being and to develop team-building skills. In the past, we participated in gameshows with the Great Amazing Race hosted via Zoom during covid times, charity walks, and many more fun activities.
Flexibility, Growth & Rewards
We like to reward individual work performance as well as team incentives. The quarterly Big Biller Club is created for high achievers who show their hard work every quarter of the year reaching targets in sales. For the consultants who reach this target, they are taken for a grandioso dinner to celebrate their achievements and milestones.
