MOLLY - Locum RVN

Always offered to help

I have been a locum for 5 years now and always found my own work because I never trusted agencies or the agencies I did try bombarded me with calls and emails that caused more stress than help. Me and Hannah started talking when she worked at a different agency one I didn’t use as I was finding my own work. What made Hannah stand out to me at that very moment was she support me in my direct bookings. She wasn’t getting paid from my direct booking but always offered to help where she could with my contracts and understanding the practice before I went. Due to the transparency Hannah oozes and the passion she has for every candidate she works with is the reason I now work with Hannah for nearly all my locum shifts. Having someone who I know has my best interests at heart has really taken the stress off me. The admin side of my locum business has decreased due to Hannah doing it for me and now I can simply build great relationships with practices and focus on the job I love; working hours and shifts that suit me. Hannah’s superpower lies in finding perfect permanent roles for vets, nurses, ACA, receptionist and specialists. Personally, I have never wanted a permanent job but If I did, I would have no doubt that Hannah could find me one and support me in getting the salary, shifts and work environment that suits me.

Zero stress

Working with Hannah has been a pleasure. She managed to secure me a role that is exactly what I was looking for. Everything went smoothly and with zero stress.

EMILY - Locum RVN

No fuss, friendly and effortless

After working with previous recruitment companies and being frustrated by being bombarded by them it really put me off using them to find locum work. But Hannah has been such a dream to work with. She is down to earth and there is no stress involved in finding placements. Definitely would recommend her to any locum colleagues, if you want a no fuss, friendly and effortless process to find your next bookings!

Listening to my needs

A big THANK YOU to Hannah for initially listening to my needs for a new out-of-hours position, taking consideration of my skills and experience. After a couple of weeks, finding one within the area I was looking for (which wasn't widely advertised). Hannah also negotiated with the practice to secure a great role with good pay and conditions. Not planning to move at the moment, but if I do, I'll be asking Hannah for her expertise.

MAURO - Locum Vet Surgeon

Hannah is making her best efforts

I have to say thanks to Hannah for all her patience and hard work. So far I have been very lucky with her placements. And I had the sensation than she doesn’t only consider the interest of the clinic, as just only a few times happens with locum agencies and that happens with a few and the best, she is taking at heart the interest of the employee. Therefore this is what it makes the difference with the many locum agency which use the employee as a pay day. Work is something more serious and Hannah is making her best efforts to help professionally vets and nurses.

ANTONIO - Locum Vet Surgeon

I couldn't be happier with their service

I have been a locum for the last 5 years and I have worked with multiple agencies and agents throughout the years and Hannah and the whole team are in a different league from anyone I have used before, I couldn't be happier with their service and the way HSL runs as a whole. Anyone looking for locum work or permanent positions should contact them as they will be as gladly surprised as I was.

ROSIE - Locum RVN

Help Search Locate have been so helpful

I have been an RVN now for 3 years, I decided to take the leap this year (2024) into locum work. As this is all new territory to me, Help Search Locate have been so helpful in providing support and booking work. Kai has been great at finding shifts and is always so quick to respond to any queries I’ve thrown in his direction. I am due to start my first locum placement in May thanks to him, and looking forward to what lies ahead in the locum world! Thank you 🙂

BONNIE - Locum RVN

Overall great service

Thank you to Kai and HSL team for providing me with great communication, quick responding times and overall great service. I initially needed some urgent locum RVN work due to a company last minute cancelling me. Kai and the team worked so quickly and efficiently to find me a clinic in less than a day which suited my specific needs and worked his magic with rates and hours. Will definitely be using again for my next job!

LIZZIE - Locum RVN

She really listened to my requirements, kept in regular contact with me, and quickly found me a position. She kept me updated throughout the entire process but did not bombard me.
