Or do you run a hospital seeking physicians in different specialties, or a practice that needs additional medical staff to care for its patients?<\/p>\n<p>We bring these two groups together. As healthcare continues to develop, we aim to contribute through <strong>specialist doctor recruitment<\/strong> and build on our experience in this field.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balkaninvest.eu\/en\/\">recruitment agency<\/a> based in Bulgaria, we focus particularly on placing Bulgarian doctors in Germany.

Depending on the assignment, this can also include help organising language courses and coordinating administrative steps. Doctor recruitment is a complex process that benefits from a coordinated approach.<\/p>\n<p>Both doctors seeking a new role and healthcare employers can benefit from this comprehensive support.

Our focus is on hospitals, medical care centres and employed roles in larger practices in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This service does not cover practice succession or the purchase of a practice.<\/p>\n<p>If further language preparation is needed, we discuss suitable options with the candidate and employer.
