How long does the process take?

The NHS shortlisting process can take up to three months. We prioritise strategic submissions over speed to ensure effectiveness.

Do you guarantee a job offer?

While we can’t promise a job offer, our tailored approach has helped many candidates get interviews faster than going it alone.

Can I choose the roles you apply for?

Yes, we work with you to shortlist roles that align with your goals, experience, and preferred locations.

Is interview preparation included?

We offer interview prep as an optional add-on. Our recruiters will guide you on what NHS panels expect and how to stand out.

What makes your service different from others?

Unlike generic job boards or passive services, Recruit Today provides hands-on support, real-time updates, and NHS-specific expertise.

How do you handle confidentiality?

We take privacy seriously. Your details are never shared without your consent, and all submissions are made under our professional account.

What if I get shortlisted before all applications are submitted?

We’ll adjust the plan to suit your new situation — you stay in control throughout.

Do you use AI to write supporting statements?

No. Every statement is written by our team who understand NHS Trust requirements and role-specific expectations.

How do I get started?

Simple — just get in touch via our website to book a free consultation. A member of the Recruit Today team will guide you from there.

How It Works

Your NHS Application Journey

NHS recruitment has its own rules — TRAC applications, person specifications, values-based interviews. Here’s exactly how we handle each stage.

Step 1

Discovery call

We learn your specialism, Band, preferred locations, and any constraints — visa status, notice period — before anything else happens.

Step 2

NHS-ready CV & profile

Your CV gets rebuilt against the person specification format NHS shortlisting panels actually score against — not a generic commercial CV.

Step 3

Trust matching

We research and hand-select relevant Trusts and vacancies matching your Band and specialism, presenting each for your approval.

Step 4

TRAC & NHS Jobs applications

We submit your supporting information through the official TRAC.jobs and NHS Jobs systems, addressing every essential and desirable criterion.

Step 5

Values-based interview prep

NHS interviews score against the NHS Constitution's values, not just competency — we prepare you specifically for that format.

Step 6

Offer & Band support

Once an offer lands, we help you understand Banding and negotiate where there's room to, right through to your start date.
