Why Global MedTeam
For hospitals actively evaluating options
Direct hire, day one

Direct hire.
Zero recruitment fees
to nurses.

Most recruiters place nurses with hospitals. We place them as hospital employees, and that difference decides who manages the relationship, who bears the risk, and how long the nurse stays.
What actually sets us apart

Direct hire, in practice.

No staffing contract · No agency employer
01

No rotation

Placed with you, and stays with you. The nurse your ICU team knows in month one is the same nurse there in month twelve.
02

A cost you can actually forecast

No recurring markup on every hour worked, no multi-year contract inflating the true cost. You hire once, carry a known salary and benefits line, and budget them like any permanent employee. A variable, agency-controlled expense becomes a fixed, predictable one you own.
03

Continuity your patients feel

The same nurse, on the same unit, building the same team relationships from month one through year two and beyond. Continuity of staff is continuity of care, it shows up in patient safety, team cohesion, and institutional knowledge.
One hire, answerable to your hospital alone. Predictable cost for the office that funds it, lasting continuity for the unit that depends on it.
Zero recruitment fees to nurses
Employer Pays Principle

Good ethics, and good risk management.

We don’t charge nurses a recruitment fee, upfront cost, or hidden processing charge. The hospital pays that cost. For your hospital, this protects far more than your ethical standing.
01When agencies pass costs onto clinicians, they create a cycle of debt, a primary indicator of forced labor under international labor standards.
02A nurse arriving with recruiter-imposed financial burdens creates a compliance liability for your clinical and legal teams.
03Institutional exposure often reaches the facility benefiting from the placement, not just the third-party recruiter.
And it’s a retention asset: a nurse who isn’t carrying recruitment debt has one less reason to leave.
A government-cited source of truth
Philippine Department of Health

Cited by a government, not by us.

The Philippine Department of Health adopted Global MedTeam’s white paper as its source of truth for ethical international nurse recruitment. Because the Philippines is the largest source of internationally educated nurses to the United States, an endorsement from the government that regulates that workforce tells your hospital its nurses are sourced through a channel the origin country itself stands behind, lowering the recruitment-integrity risk that would otherwise land on your institution.

White Glove, start to finish
Through the first year

Support does not stop at the visa.

From pre-departure planning through housing, banking, transportation and a full first year of settling-in support for the nurse and their family, we stay involved after the placement closes, not just up to it.
What White Glove covers →
A partner, not just a recruiter
Clear division of labor

We take the process. You keep the clinical call.

We manage sourcing, licensure, immigration and relocation so your team can focus on the parts only you can do: defining the role, interviewing candidates, and running your own onboarding.
