a few words about us

Who we are

Welcome to Health Recruitment Specialists

As our company name implies, HRS is a specialist recruitment firm dedicated to servicing the needs of the health sector. We aim to provide the highest standards of service in executive search, advertised selection and contracting. Importantly, all HRS recruitment consultants are drawn from across the industry. We know that to understand the needs of the industry our people must have an intimate knowledge of the health business and a ready network of contacts.

Our main aim as a healthcare recruitment agency is not only to provide the best candidates in a wide, reliable and high standard network but also to nourish long-lasting relationships between employees and organisations. With over two decades of experience, countless relationships established and a highly connected network within the healthcare industry, the proof is in our work.
