mission

We’re here to ensure every placement feels like a match made in healthcare heaven.
Who we are
Appoint Group is a team of ambitious and fun individuals, united in our vision of providing the number one consultative recruitment service, as rated by our clients and candidates, delivered with consistency and care. We will remain true to the 12 points of our culture statement to ensure that all candidates who work with Appoint Group move closer to their own personal goals, and all clients move closer to achieving their corporate goals.
What business we're in

We are in the business of enhancing the hiring prospects of our clients and improving the job prospects of our applicants through thorough consultation. We also consider ourselves to be in the business of continuous improvement and development, both for ourselves and also for our clients and candidates. We will educate ourselves continually, to ensure we remain at least one step ahead of our competition, working towards our vision of being the ‘Number One’ recruitment company, as rated by our clients and candidates. We will help to educate our clients on ‘best practice’ recruitment processes, giving them a strategic advantage in an ever more competitive battle for skills. We will educate our candidates on how they can best achieve their career goals, whilst minimising the stress and uncertainty they endure in the process.

Our service has a particular emphasis on being consultative and bespoke to each person or organisation we work with.

Who our customers are

Clients – Our clients will be thoughtfully and strategically selected, based on attitudes. We aim to work in partnership with our clients where we have the opportunity to communicate to a high standard and add value by influencing their recruitment skills, processes and attitudes for the better. We will be committed to our clients and do everything we can to help them achieve their goals, and expect that they are committed to working proactively and efficiently with us in return.

Candidates – Our candidates will be sincere about their career development and genuinely keen to work with a specialist and caring recruitment company. They will commit to working with us, making themselves available to communicate with us as necessary.

What makes us different from our competition

At Appoint Group, we understand that career choices are some of the most stressful but significant, exciting and important life decisions that people have to make. We believe that people should have the right support and advice to help them make the best choices possible along the way whilst doing our best to make the process fun and enjoyable.

We will therefore aim to operate not just as a recruitment agent, but as a personal career consultancy service. We will continue to offer the upmost care to all the people we work with and remain committed to helping our candidates find the best career move for them.
