We recruit from countries worldwide including the Philippines, India, Nigeria, Jamaica, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and many others. We focus on countries with strong healthcare education systems and professionals who meet U.S. standards. All candidates undergo rigorous screening to ensure they meet your facility's clinical and cultural requirements.

The international placement process typically takes 6-12 months from initial candidate selection to arrival at your facility. This timeline includes credential evaluation, licensing (if needed), visa processing, immigration approval, and travel arrangements. Timelines can vary based on the candidate's country of origin, visa type, licensing requirements, and current processing times. We keep you informed throughout the process and work to expedite when possible.

We handle various visa types including H-1B visas for specialty occupations, TN visas for Canadian and Mexican professionals, EB-3 visas for permanent residency, and other appropriate visa categories. We work with immigration attorneys to determine the best visa option for each candidate and guide them through the application process. We ensure all visa requirements are met and documentation is properly prepared.

We use recognized credential evaluation services to verify international education and credentials. This includes verification of degrees, transcripts, licenses, and certifications through appropriate agencies. We also verify work experience, conduct reference checks, and ensure candidates meet U.S. equivalency standards. For licensed professionals, we verify their ability to obtain U.S. licensure and support them through the licensing process.

We provide comprehensive cultural integration support including pre-arrival orientation about U.S. healthcare systems and workplace culture, assistance with housing and transportation, help with banking, social security, and other administrative tasks, cultural sensitivity training, and ongoing support during the first months of employment. We also facilitate connections with community resources and support networks to help international professionals feel at home.

Costs vary based on the professional's country of origin, visa type, licensing requirements, and services needed. Typical costs include credential evaluation, visa and immigration fees, licensing and exam fees, travel expenses, and placement fees. We provide transparent cost breakdowns upfront and work with you to determine which costs are facility responsibilities versus candidate responsibilities. Many facilities find that the long-term value of international placements outweighs the initial investment.
