OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS
ASSESSMENT
After you register with Odyssey, we shall contact you to assess your qualifications, skills, achievements, career goals, personal circumstances and preferences. It is important that we gain a thorough understanding of your capabilities, interests and goals so that we can offer you advice about the type of roles, employers and locations which would be best for you.
PREPARATION
Our recruitment consultants may recommend changes to your CV to highlight certain skills, qualifications, experience or achievement. They may advise that you take further qualiifations such as IELTS or other English language tests or exams required for specific medical or other professional licence boards. They may also advise that you take short courses to supplement exisiting qualifications to get ahead of the competition, which for sole roles, can be intense!
INTRODUCTIONS
Odyssey will introduce you to employers with appropriate roles. Our recruitment consultants will make the introduction by the submission of your CV. Some employers request additional copies of credentials and reference reports at this stage. If you are not shortlisted for interview, our consultants shall try to establish the reasons so that shortcomings can be identified and corrected in preparation for the next role.
INTERVIEWS
If you are shortlisted for an interview, our recruitement consultants will prepare you for interview with information about the employer, role and location so that you are well briefed. They will also advise, and practice if necessary, the interview techniques by telephone, skype or zoom. After a client interview, you will be debriefed and our consultants will endeavour to obtain as thorough feedback as possible from the employer if you are not offered the role, again so that shortcomings can be identified and resolved.
JOB OFFERS AND NEGOTIATION
Once an offer of engagement with the employer is made, we shall negotiate on your behalf any alterations to the terms including contactual terms, salaries, commission, incentives and benefits. Our consultants will also advise you about the handling of counter offers and resignation from your current role.
STARTING WORK
Negotiations complete and job offer signed, the steps towards starting work begin. If you need to relocate to another part of the country or another part of the world, we have a complete network of expert and trusted advisers who can help. The formalities which must be completed can at first seem intimidatiing, but with good advice and preparation, can run smoothly. Our affiliate companies manage all aspects of the relocation process from professional licence applications, work permits, immigration, travel arrangements to finding accommodation, schools and moving pets.
POST PLACEMENT FOLLOW UP
We shall keep in touch with you to help ensure that your first few weeks and months in the new job go well and that your relocation is smooth.
UK REVALIDATION AND MEDICAL APPRAISAL
If you hold General Medical Council (GMC) Registration and do not have an active licence to practice and need appraisal or revalidation, we have an associate company which can manage this. Contact Dr Mark Golder for full details of the services.

ABOUT ODYSSEY
Odyssey made its first placement in January 2005 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). This was a Consultant Anaesthetist at the American Hospital Dubai, the first Joint Commission Internional (JCI) accredited hospital inthe UAE, and at that time, the undisputed top private hospital in Dubai. Times have changed. The healthcare sector in the UAE expanded massively over the next decade and more, and the American Hospital is now one of many JCI accredited hospitals in the Emirates working at the premier end of the medical sector.
Over the years we placed many more candidates at the American Hospital Dubai and the other hospitals springing up across the Emirates and in fact the entire Gulf region as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait all developed their healthcare infrastructure. We moved into other markets across the world, each market with its own characteristics and skills requirements.
Our aim has always been to get the best possible deal for our candidates. If you wish to read more about Odyssey
