Client Testimonials

‘‘As our contract with Pinnacle International now draws to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank your team for the continued commitment and support in the last twelve months. As you are aware, the contract commenced in November 2002 and to date your team have helped us recruit 117 permanent healthcare professionals. This is no mean feat especially in today’s health job market.

Tony Lutkin should really be singled out for special praise. In all fairness, our success should, without a doubt, be contributed to Tony who has managed the contract from start to finish.

Tony has shown great commitment and professionalism throughout this project. He has supported our managers throughout the recruitment process sharing his knowledge and skills; he has acted as a great ambassador, on our behalf to prospective candidates. We will certainly miss his organisational and project management skills and of course his great sense of humour and happy disposition.

Once again, thank you to all concerned.’’

Bev Critchlow - Director of Nursing, Midwifery & Professional Development

‘‘Through the Pinnacle International system, we have been able to recruit nurses of high quality. The Pinnacle International team with whom we worked in Australia was well organised and we found the service friendly and efficient. The nurses we met had all been carefully screened before our arrival, so that most of those interviewed were suitable candidates who fulfilled our requirements. We are now eighteen months down the track and feedback from our wards and departments is positive - not just about the calibre of Pinnacle International nurses but about their enthusiastic, cheerful approach and their interest in contributing to nursing in the UK.’’

Elaine Law, Director of Nursing, St Bartholomew’s Hospital

‘‘Last year we went to Australia with Pinnacle International to do overseas recruitment and were treated amazingly well. The Pinnacle International system is very professional and organised in great detail. Although the itinerary was tough, this was planned around us and our requirements. As a result of this trip, we have already received more than 50 nurses, whose standard was very high. And since the first trip was so successful, we now have another one scheduled in June.

The information and CVs coming from Pinnacle International are always presented very well. We have direct access to a representative from WHE, which immediately means easier communication. Everyone from Pinnacle International is very friendly and receptive to our ideas. They are always willing to go that extra mile to deliver a tailored individual approach, based on our needs. We’re delighted with the results.’’

Michelle Morris, Service Manager, Surgery, Birmingham City Hospital

‘‘International recruitment was a new experience for both myself and our trust. I have appreciated having the experience and support of Pinnacle International helping with the steep learning curve required. I was able to develop a good rapport with our recruitment consultant (Rhonda) and feel we are working as a team. All our recruits have been of a very high calibre and the interviewing team were surprised at the number of senior, skilled nurses they were able to recruit.’’
