Our five star feedback!

Indigo Healthcare has helped in my relocation last year. I can say accepting their offer was the best decision I have made, I started my CESR training immediately after joining the Trust as I was promised. Communication was very smooth with Indigo team, Stella was with me all the time, helping answering my queries, replying to my emails instantly, and assisting me until I settled down in my new place.

H GorielCandidate

The best recruitment agency in the UK. Had very good experience finding my first job in the UK. Stella was very helpful and she did everything for me, even helping me to prepare for my interview. Highly recommend Indigo!

A ElgardariCandidate

I had gotten a Specialty Doctor position in the NHS through the help of Indigo. Stella was extremely helpful in streamlining the process. From the initial advert, interview offer, and relocation all within few weeks, she kept in touch and ensured the smoothest process ever. I only hope more trusts will utilise the services of Indigo as a way to improve the HR inefficiencies in the NHS.

D GbenedioCandidate

I am writing to express my utmost appreciation for the outstanding service provided by Hashim from Indigo. Hashim went above and beyond in helping me secure my job, and I cannot thank him enough for his dedication and professionalism throughout the process.
