Testimonials

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.

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.
