It's hard to believe that 9 years have passed since I embarked on the crazy journey of creating and launching my own medical recruitment agency, Your Doctor jobs or YDJ.

Starting an agency from scratch has been a humbling, yet immensely satisfying experience, validating that my vision to become a premier choice for doctors, clients, and staff was more than just a pipe dream.

The recruitment industry is often known for high staff turnover, but our mantra has always been to cultivate a stable, fun, and supportive work environment that values everyone who interacts with us. This approach has paid off, with only one staff member departing in the past 9 years - a rare feat of workforce consistency in this field.

Our strategic plan is straightforward - let revenue guide our organic growth, and ensure our consultants are well-supported and empowered to succeed. I'm proud to say that I have one of the best and most experienced teams in the industry, comprising 9 exceptional individuals with diverse backgrounds, interests, and perspectives that lend depth and personality to our agency.

Over the years, we've managed to achieve consistent year-on-year growth, which was recently recognised when we won the Rising Star award at the TIARA awards in 2022, followed by the Best Agency to Work For award in 2023. This year, we're finalists in 4 categories, further validating our success.

I still have a deep passion for recruitment and making a positive impact on rural communities by supplying doctors. As we reach the end of our current strategic plan, I'm excited about the future and what the next chapter holds for YDJ.



People sometime ask me why the name YDJ and it was a strategic choice based on the two most commonly searched keywords in medical recruitment at the time - "doctor" and "jobs." I may be tight on the marketing budget, but I like to think I'm savvy when it comes to branding!
