UK Recruitment – Focus on Registered Nurses
Hello everyone,
I come from a technical recruitment background, and as many of you know, the recruitment landscape in the UK is quite challenging at the moment.
I’ve decided to take the plunge and launch my own agency that will specialize in recruiting Registered Nurses within specific regions of the UK.
I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate any insights:
- What are the best avenues for sourcing candidates who hold NMC Pins? I’m considering platforms like TikTok, but I’m open to suggestions in this niche.
- Is there a reliable website where I can purchase databases for Care Home contacts?
- Which CV library do you believe is the most effective? (For example, should I prioritize Indeed or another platform?)
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there!
It’s great to hear about your new venture into recruitment for Registered Nurses in the UK! Here are some thoughts on your questions:
Sourcing Candidates with NMC Pins: In addition to TikTok, which can be a good platform for reaching younger professionals, consider using LinkedIn to connect with experienced nurses and showcase job opportunities. Nursing forums, Facebook groups, and specialized nursing job boards (like Nursing Times Jobs, Nurse.com, and RCN Jobs) are also valuable for finding qualified candidates. You might also consider collaborating with nursing schools or universities to reach newly graduated nurses.
Care Home Contact Databases: You can explore websites such as Care Home Professional and CareInfo for contact directories and insights. Networking within industry-specific groups or associations might also help you gather contacts. Just ensure to comply with data protection regulations when acquiring or using databases.
Best CV Libraries: While Indeed is a popular choice, you might also want to explore platforms like CV-Library, Totaljobs, or Reed. Each of these platforms has its own strengths, so it may be worth trying a few to see which yields the best results for your specific needs in nursing recruitment.
Wishing you the best of luck with your recruitment agency! If you have any more questions or need further advice, feel free to ask!
