Transforming recruitment in the NHS

This is a practical guide to delivering faster, smarter and more efficient hiring across your NHS Trust.

The NHS is the UK’s largest employer with over 1.5 million employees - and yet it faces a relentless recruitment challenge that only gets tougher by the day. More than 80,000 clinical vacancies must be filled each year, and that's just to maintain current levels of care. Add in budget constraints, legacy systems and increasing candidate expectations, and it’s clear: the way the NHS hires needs to change.

That’s why we’ve created a free, insight-driven discussion guide:
‘Transformation of recruitment within the NHS’.

Written by Chris Keeling, a former NHS leader and now CEO of Jobtrain, this guide offers a candid, practical look at how Trusts can modernise their approach to recruitment. It shares real-world examples, first-hand insights and proven results from NHS organisations already driving meaningful change.

In this free download, you'll discover:

• How one NHS organisation cut time-to-hire by 31% - and the knock-on impact that has had on reducing costs and efficiency gains.

• What over 5,000 job applicants told us about the frustrations they face – and how to fix them

• The surprising truth about onboarding – and how delays here can undo all your recruitment efforts

• Why collaboration between Trusts is a game-changer, from shared service models to regional recruitment strategies

• What efficient, data-led recruitment actually looks like – and how the right technology makes it possible

It's not just about improving the margins, it's about rethinking recruitment from the ground up – with candidate experience, automation and measurable performance at the heart of it.

If you're involved in NHS recruitment, HR, workforce planning or transformation, this guide is for you.
