What a Podiatry Recruitment Agency Does

Qualified clinicians in this field are in short supply, and the right candidate depends on more than a qualification. A diabetic foot service needs different experience from a sports and MSK clinic, and a nail surgery list needs someone who is trained and confident with it. A podiatry recruitment agency takes your brief, finds clinicians with the right caseload and specialism, screens them and sends you a shortlist worth interviewing.

Alliance handles the search, the screening and the interview coordination, so your clinical leads only spend time with candidates who fit your service, your patients and your working pattern.

Podiatry Recruitment FAQs

Q 1. What does a podiatry recruitment agency do?

A podiatry recruitment agency finds, screens and shortlists podiatrists and podiatry staff for clinics, hospitals and healthcare providers. Alliance agrees a brief with you, sources candidates through its database, job boards and direct approach, collects registration details, checks clinical experience and references, and coordinates interviews and offers. You only meet clinicians who match your caseload, specialism and working pattern.

Q 2. Which podiatry roles does Alliance recruit?

We recruit podiatrists from newly qualified to experienced, specialist podiatrists in diabetic foot, MSK and biomechanics, wound care and paediatrics, senior and lead podiatrists, podiatric surgeons, and podiatry assistants and foot health practitioners. In the United States we also recruit Doctors of Podiatric Medicine. Tell us the role, setting and location, and we will confirm how we can help.

Q 3. Do you supply locum podiatrists?

Outside the UK, yes. Alliance places permanent and fixed-term contract staff and also supplies locum podiatrists for assignments of at least one month. We do not offer day-by-day or per diem cover. In the UK, we recruit podiatrists on a permanent or fixed-term contract basis only, for example for maternity cover or a funded project post.

Q 4. How do you screen podiatry candidates?

We check each candidate’s clinical experience against your brief, including caseload, specialism and the procedures they perform, and take up references from previous employers. We collect the professional registration the role requires, such as HCPC registration in the UK or a state licence in the United States, before the shortlist, and confirm right to work in your country.

Q 5. How quickly can you send podiatry candidates?

Once we have agreed the brief with you, Alliance usually sends a shortlist of screened candidates within 24 to 48 hours. How quickly a hire is completed then depends on your interview stages, the candidate’s notice period and, for international hires, the registration and visa steps in your country, which we explain at the start of the search.

Q 6. Can you recruit podiatrists from other countries?

Yes. Alliance recruits for employers in more than 36 countries, using in-country recruitment and cross-border sourcing. For international hires, Alliance prepares the candidate documentation for the work visa application, while visa sponsorship stays with you as the employer. The candidate must also hold the professional registration your country requires before starting clinical work.

Q 7. What happens if a permanent podiatry hire leaves early?

Every permanent placement comes with a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the person you hired leaves within 90 days of accepting the job offer, Alliance finds a replacement at no extra charge. The 90 days start on the day the candidate accepts the offer. Fixed-term contract and locum assignments are covered by the terms agreed in writing for each assignment.

Q 8. How are podiatry recruitment fees agreed?

Fees depend on the role, the hiring model and the number of people you need, and we agree them with you in writing before any work starts. For permanent hires on a contingency basis, you pay only when a candidate is placed. For fixed-term contract and locum staff, the rates and terms are set out in writing for each assignment.
