Supporting a Canadian Healthcare Network to Recruit International UK-Trained GPs
A leading healthcare network in Canada faced challenges in filling key clinic locations at the volume required, managing placement costs, and ensuring candidates were well-prepared for relocation. Their goal was to recruit international UK-trained GPs for their practices in Canada efficiently, without overburdening internal resources.
Partnering with Prospect Health in March 2025, the team quickly aligned on recruitment strategies tailored to the client’s specific needs. Prospect Health handled candidate preparation, communication, and expectation management, ensuring a smooth transition for doctors relocating to Canada. By July, the collaboration was fully underway, combining high-value recruitment support with minimal demand on the client’s internal team.
Within six months, the healthcare network was on track to place 17 international UK-trained GPs in critical locations. Prospect Health’s strategic approach, professional communication, and deep understanding of the candidate pool proved instrumental in delivering strong leads and successful placements.
This case highlights how practices looking to recruit international UK-trained GPs for their practice in Canada can benefit from a structured, candidate-focused international recruitment strategy that drives measurable results.
“We first reached out to Prospect Health in March 2025, and by July we had begun working together to align our recruitment needs.
Before partnering with them, we faced challenges in filling key locations at the volume required, controlling placement fees, and managing candidates’ expectations around remuneration and relocation to Canada.
Prospect Health has done an excellent job preparing candidates for their transition, while ensuring alignment with our mandates and expectations.
Working with Ashley and the Prospect Health team has been smooth and efficient, low touch from our side, but high value in return. They took the time to understand our company, our opportunities, and what success looks like for both parties. Their communication is excellent, professional, and requires minimal resources from our team. In just six months, we’re on track to have 17 candidates signed in our critical locations. Prospect Health has already provided strong leads, and we’re excited for these candidates to start. Their team has added real value to our recruitment process and has the expertise to continue doing so. I would highly recommend Prospect Health, their professionalism, candidate knowledge, and ability to deliver results set them apart in the field. They are an excellent team to work with”
