Was head hunted by Nic Sangar for a specific remote – rural GP specialist position internationally, as an experienced specialist GP from the Czech Republic, I was initially told by a previous recruitment agency that it would be impossible to find a job in New Zealand. However, Nic Sangar proved them wrong. He introduced me to an excellent opportunity within a remote – rural community hospital.

Nic advised and guided me through all the endless procedures, including NZ immigration, and fully supported me through long negotiations with the Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ).

Even after the process was complete, he has remained in contact with me, providing continued support. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge and expertise, clarity, transparency and dedication, I am now successfully working in amazing New Zealand.

I have no hesitation and with pleasure, highly recommend Nic Sangar to any other GP specialists who are looking to work Internationally.

I’m writing this testimonial in reference to the excellent care and service I received from Mr. N Sangar as my international recruiter. Mr Sangar has helped me every step of the way for over a year in my pursuit of a medical directorship position in Wellington, New Zealand. He has been extremely attentive and helped navigate me though a foreign medical system and immigration processes.

Any issue that arouse that he could not solve immediately was handled with care and expediently resolved after diligent investigation. He has always been available when needed and has been a pleasure to work with overall. Without reservation, I would recommend Mr Sangar services to anyone trying to find a job in New Zealand.

I and my family were very blessed to have Nic as our agent. He was with us every step of the way during finding an appropriate employer and negotiating the details of the contract. Even when the things didn’t work out, he didn’t give up and continued working on finding a place which would suit our needs.

We admire Nic’s diligence and hardworking attitude which helped in our complicated situation. It took him a while to find the place which would suit us because of our very specific demands and that required a long time and plenty of effort from him. Yet he remained always professional and very kind in his communications and went to great lengths trying to understand our specific desires. After finding the employer he continued working with NZ Medical Council and made sure that all the paperwork was done accordingly.

In short, we are extremely grateful for all his time, efforts, and assistance in our relocation and would recommend him again any time.

I am pleased to share my experience in working with Family Medicine Specialists . They were most helpful, diligent and persistent in working with me to obtain sabbatical experience outside Canada. I was initially considering the UK and within less than two weeks, Nic and staff at Family Medicine Specialists  had obtained several possibilities. Nic obtained relevant information, followed by initial discussion with the potential employer, arranged interviews and negotiated a financial package.

For several personal reasons, I decided the UK was not going to work well and he graciously closed the conversations with the UK contact. Subsequently he asked if I might be interested in either Australia or New Zealand. Within a short time, he had obtained several places in each country to consider. Once again, he provided materials, arranged interviews and followed with good negotiations on my behalf as conditions of employment, travel, benefits, etc. In the end, I have worked in New Zealand on a 6 month locum with the option at my discretion to extend to 12 months. It has been a valuable and enjoyable experience.

Throughout, Nic was supportive of both my wife and myself in seeking what would best suit us, both professionally and personally. He also offered possible future opportunities as well. For example, part way through the NZ Locum, he once again had explored several other work options up for consideration. I do regard these efforts as upholding our interests very well and as such, they have been most valuable. I would indeed highly recommend Family Medicine Specialists to those considering international work employment.

It is a pleasure to recommend Nic Sangar and Family medicine specialists for helping me get a job in New Zealand as a General Physician.

After working as a GP in North Staffordshire for 15 years, I had this feeling to work in another country and experience a different system than NHS. Nic and me go a long way back. About 3 years back I thought of going to Canada but somehow changed my mind. Next year thought about New Zealand .

I postponed my decision due to family reasons. This year I was free to move away and the plan was to get a year in NZ

Nic had been very helpful in getting offers and then negotiated a good contract according to my wish. He always told me to tell him what I wanted. I acknowledge his communication skills and dedication to his client. He seemed to be giving me a personnel service as we had been on telephone at 0100 GMT at times. It was a long process but he was honest from the beginning and helped me through a lot of times.

He is a gentleman and very friendly, respectful at all times. Wish him and FamilyMedicineSpecialists.co.uk all the success in the future.

I have been with Family Medicine specialists.co.uk, in particular, Nic Sangar, for two years. I have been successfully placed in jobs in New Zealand.

As I requested, he has endeavoured to maintain on-going support and interest. I would recommend his services to any colleague desirous of experiencing work in areas covered by Family Medicine specialists.co.uk

I have been practising in Ireland as GP over 7 years and was looking for some change and fortunately I found Family Medicine Specialists advertised a GP position in New Zealand. Although I really was searching for the venture and a new professional experience, but It was not an easy decision as New Zealand is too far from home.

Thanks to Nick from Family Medicine Specialists.co.uk my decision making and then the registration process with Medical Council of New Zealand went smoothly. Nic was always ready to give an advice and a help in any time I referred to him, was competent and supportive. Additionally I had not been left alone while arrived to New Zealand, I felt well looked after by him while settling in and afterwards.

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Nic.

After working for around 6 years in the Singapore healthcare system as a doctor, I was exploring my option to move to a different country. I was especially interested in New Zealand as its healthcare system was comparable to that of Singapore. However, internet searches and multiple failed applications proved that securing a job in New Zealand and getting medical registration is a near-impossible task. I had almost given up on the idea when an online form I had filled out earlier connected me with Nic.

Initially, I didn’t expect Nic. to be of much help also given the complicated process involved in cross border movement of health professionals in covid times,  but he proved me wrong. With his past experience and dedication, he was not only able to secure a job in my field of expertise but also navigated across the complex paperwork for me to get registered with the medical council. I am sure without Nic’s help I would not be here in New Zealand today.

Warm regards, Ali.

I was introduced to Nic Sangar from Family medicine Specialists  through a close friend of mine. He helped me secure jobs in Canada, New Zealand, and the Republic of Ireland. Nic ensured that the application processes were smooth sailing and stress-free. I found Nic to be incredibly approachable and helpful and was always there to answer any queries I had had even outside normal working hours. He always went the extra mile to alleviate any concerns that arose. I would thoroughly recommend any doctor wishing to find work abroad to use the services of Nic in Family Medicine Specialists.

Nic Sangar is the ultimate recruitment consultant.

I first called Nic from Family medicine specialists almost a year ago as I was seeking advice about moving abroad as a GP.  I had contacted others in the initial enquiry phase but immediately felt that Nic really stood out.  He is professional but also gives a personalised touch to his service which is a rare quality.  My experience with Nic has been outstanding and I really feel like I could not have asked for more during the process.

Nic took me through the process seamlessly and took into account my experience and personal wishes.  He put me forward for suitable roles and made the whole process seem straightforward.  I was successful in getting a job offer for a suitable role and am very thankful for such a positive experience.  Nic has been incredibly responsive, supportive , helpful and kind.  I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Nic and highly recommend him if you are seeking to move abroad as a doctor.  He is dedicated to the recruitment process and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Nic.
