Ricky has over 15 years’ experience working in the recruitment industry and has focused on medical recruitment since 2007. He has been with the company from its inception and was responsible for launching the International Doctors division, recruiting doctors from overseas across all specialties on a permanent and fixed term basis to the NHS. He is responsible for taking candidates through the whole recruitment cycle and is heavily involved in tenders and business development.

Ricky has also taken on a number of challenges raising money for charities such as the Make a Wish Foundation and Barnardos.

What do you like about working at Xander Hendrix Healthcare?

I still take immense pleasure in helping a doctor make the move from overseas to the UK with their family and start working in the NHS. I enjoy speaking regularly with candidates and helping to make the transition as smooth as possible. To see how far we have come as a company and the difference we have made to many NHS clients by vastly reducing their locum spend fills me with great pride.
