Scholten Medical Recruitment

Scholten Medical is a specialist recruitment agency with almost 40 years of experience placing candidates into open roles across the Swiss healthcare system. The agency organises every step of the move for candidates free of charge, from the application through to housing, from a trial day (Schnupperli) through to buddy mentoring, and from onboarding through to further training. Its five step process guides candidates from orientation, through building a portfolio and application, to a trial placement and finally the start of their new role.

Scholten Medical recruits for nursing and midwifery staff (Pflegefachpersonal / Hebammen), specialised nursing staff, medical technical personnel, medical therapeutic personnel, medical doctors, and other healthcare support staff. The agency positions itself around a personal, close relationship with each candidate rather than a purely transactional placement service.

Every placement Scholten Medical arranges is exclusively into Switzerland, with candidates placed into regions including Graubünden, Zurich, Lucerne, St Gallen and Aargau. Candidates cite the agency's personal guidance, administrative support and mentoring as the reason they recommend Scholten Medical, with several highlighting the help they received settling into a new country and securing permanent employment (Festanstellung).
