Why Recruitroo

How Recruitroo helps healthcare employers.

Visa filing on your behalf

We submit Critical Skills, GEP and UK Skilled Worker (Senior Care) cases for you — the candidate just hands over details, data and documents.

Arrival logistics, accommodation guidance and first-week onboarding tracked through the platform instead of inboxes.

Common challenges

Where healthcare hiring usually breaks — and what we do about it.

Problem

NMBI / NMC paperwork stuck mid-process

Problem

Senior Care Worker sponsor licence pressure

Recruitroo

We prepare Certificate of Sponsorship workflows in advance so issuing CoS doesn't bottleneck hiring.

Problem

Arrival logistics falling on the care home manager

Recruitroo

Accommodation, bank appointment and first-week check-in handled by Recruitroo — not the rota team.

FAQ

Healthcare hiring questions

Can you source candidates with NMBI or NMC registration?

Yes. We work with internationally-trained nurses and verify the NMBI / NMC application stage as part of the case-readiness workflow before they arrive.

Do you handle the visa for Senior Care Workers under the UK Skilled Worker route?

Yes. We file the Skilled Worker application on the employer's behalf, including the Certificate of Sponsorship workflow, and track every milestone in the platform.

How long from role brief to a candidate starting on site?

Typically 4–6 months for healthcare roles, depending on the visa route and country of origin. The case-readiness checks we run up-front keep avoidable refusals out of the timeline.
