Consul In Care

Consul in Care is a Dutch medical recruitment company founded on the belief that the right doctor in the right place makes the difference. Its own team are doctors, so they know both the profession and the day to day practice, and from that expertise they place qualified professionals within sociale geneeskunde, social medicine. The company works with a personal approach and an eye for quality, aiming to bring artsen and opdrachtgevers together for the long term rather than for a single placement. Candidates can spar directly with a doctor, book a meeloopdag to shadow a role, or arrange a no obligation conversation with one of its arts adviseurs.

The company covers four recruitment areas. For zorgprofessionals it handles werving en selectie of medical staff with the right prior training who can help build care within an institution. It places medical students who are ready to contribute immediately. In zorgmanagement it finds the right interim or permanent manager for an organisation. It also supplies ondersteunend personeel for administrative and telephone support. Its HR team is deliberately mixed, combining medics, intermediaries and HR managers who work together to match candidates and organisations. Verzekeringsgeneeskunde, insurance medicine, has its own dedicated section of the site.

Consul in Care operates across the Netherlands and offers both uitzenddiensten and permanent placement, because it recognises that care organisations have shifting demand and need continuity as well as flexibility. Every worker is screened thoroughly so that all staff hold the correct qualifications for the role, and an extensive reference check plus a VOG, the Dutch certificate of good conduct, are standard. The company has considerable experience guiding doctors from ANIOS through to specialist into suitable posts outside the hospital, where they have more control over their diary, work office hours and can often work partly from home.
