How We Help Employers

ACCENT Health Recruitment works exclusively with you throughout the entire search and relocation process, providing continuity and a high-quality service for both you and the healthcare professionals we place.

We take the time to understand your team, your culture and the specific skills you need, then draw on our network of doctors, nurses, midwives and allied health professionals — many already considering a move to New Zealand — to find the right fit.

From first introduction through to a candidate’s first day (and beyond), we stay involved: managing communication and interview coordination; providing contract support; and handling the relocation process itself, so you can focus on your service rather than the logistics of recruiting internationally.

Their team travels internationally to meet and attract doctors to New Zealand and has outstanding knowledge of MCNZ registration and requirements.

"We have worked with Prudence and Accent Health Recruitment for over a decade and in all interactions, we have found Prudence and her team excellent to deal with. Well informed, client and candidate focused, she has successfully connected us to numerous health professionals who have joined St George's Hospital. Ensuring all parties have the correct fit and match is so important. Prudence is exceptional at keeping this front of mind and will only present candidates that she is confident will provide the that match."

They understand the challenges involved in finding experienced Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Psychologists in New Zealand and are proactive in looking both nationally and internationally for suitable candidates.

Lucy Palmer

"I have worked with ACCENT for a number of years to support the recruitment of Consultant Psychiatrists and Registrars to our service and have always found them extremely good to work with. Their team is approachable, responsive and takes the time to really understand our service and our recruitment needs. The communication and attention to detail from ACCENT is excellent. They provide great support throughout the entire recruitment process to both us and the doctor, particularly when navigating the complexities of Medical Council of NZ registration. The assistance ACCENT gives to the incoming doctors around Immigration is also invaluable. I really appreciate the strong relationship we have built with ACCENT over the years and would have no hesitation in recommending them as a well organised and experienced Agency."

They took the time to understand Merivale Hand Clinic, our team and, importantly, the type of person who would be the right fit for us. Their healthcare recruitment knowledge and experience really shows. They are approachable, responsive and genuinely committed to finding the right person, rather than simply filling a vacancy.

With registered nurses on their recruitment team, they know what kind of nurses suit us here at North Shore Surgical Centre — we know they work hard to find the right match and would recommend them to assist nurses from overseas coming to New Zealand. Their knowledge of registration and the relocation process is excellent."

"We've really enjoyed working with ACCENT Health Recruitment to help recruit doctors, nurses and allied health professionals for Dargaville and Bay of Islands Hospitals. Rural recruitment isn't always easy, but ACCENT understands the challenges and works hard to find people who are genuinely interested in living and working in our communities. They offer a very personal service and support candidates with everything from registration and immigration through to relocation and settling into New Zealand. The team is friendly, approachable and easy to work with, and we really value the experience and support they bring to rural recruitment."

Jen Thomas

Operations Manager at Dargaville and Bay of Islands Hospital

"We have really valued ACCENT Health Recruitment's support in recruiting Senior Medical Officers to Whakatāne. They understand the challenges of recruiting doctors to regional New Zealand and have excellent knowledge of the immigration, registration and relocation processes involved when bringing doctors and their families from overseas. Their service is very personal. Candidates are not simply passed on once they accept a position — the ACCENT team stays involved, helping with the practicalities of relocating and settling into New Zealand. That level of care and ongoing communication makes a real difference. I was lucky enough to choose ACCENT for my own journey from the USA to NZ when I came many years ago."

Accent have always been very responsive and have always managed to have candidates for us to review quickly. Accent Health Recruitment are very supportive of staff moving to New Zealand until well after a candidate has begun work with us. Knowing that Accent Health Recruitment are attending trade shows around the world means where there are gaps in our workforce we know Accent can be actively recruiting into these roles. Accent Health recruitment have been a huge help in assisting us with our staffing needs."
