Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The typical timeline from initial briefing to a nurse starting work is 4 to 8 months, depending on NMBI registration status and visa processing. Candidates with NMBI Decision Letters can start sooner. We provide clear timelines and weekly updates throughout.
NMBI registration includes qualification recognition, document verification, English language testing (IELTS/OET), a Decision Letter, and either an Adaptation programme or RCSI Aptitude Test. We manage this entire process for every candidate.
Recruitment fees are paid by the employer, never the nurse. This aligns with WHO Ethical Recruitment Guidelines and ensures we attract genuinely motivated professionals.
Most international nurses require a Critical Skills Employment Permit. In some cases, an Atypical Work Scheme applies during the adaptation period. We handle the full permit application process.
Every candidate undergoes multi-stage screening: nursing qualification verification, clinical experience review, English proficiency assessment, NMBI eligibility check, document review, and reference checks.
Yes. We work with nursing homes, residential care, public and private hospitals, community care, HSE facilities, mental health services, and disability services across Ireland.
We source globally from countries not on the WHO red list, ensuring ethical recruitment compliance. All candidates meet NMBI qualification standards and English language requirements.
Our post-arrival programme includes a first-week welfare check, monthly follow-ups for 6 months, cultural integration support, settling-in assistance, and issue resolution in collaboration with the employer.
Retention starts before arrival with cultural orientation and realistic expectations. Our 6-month post-arrival welfare programme provides regular check-ins, integration support, and early problem resolution.
