Here what our candidates have to say

I had an incredible experience working with JPS Recruitment, and I cannot thank Thomas enough for his exceptional support. Throughout my entire job application process in Australia, Thomas was incredibly supportive, proactive, and encouraging. Navigating a new job market can be challenging, but he provided valuable guidance and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend both JPS Recruitment and Thomas to anyone looking for their next career move in Australia.

Dr. Kunzang Norbu - ED Registrar,

Had a great experience with JPS, when I got my first Australian job, as part of my Srilankan Post graduate training in MD-Internal Medicine. Thom from JPS is a really cool guy , guided me from A to Z. He guided me through from how to face an interview to applying to RACP, AHPRA and Visa. I applied through SST pathway and will highly recommend Thom and JPS recruitment.

Dr Anushanth Uthayakumar - General Medicine Registrar,

Krystal has been amazing in handling my recruitment process from the beginning, very attentive to the needs of my career and got me the opportunity of work in the place that aligns with my goals, she has been great with communicating all the necessary steps and checking in on the progress from beginning till I arrived in Australia. i can not thank her enough. Definitely recommending her services.

Dr Hussein Kinani - ED Registrar,

I worked with Thom and he quickly got me a specialist job in Victoria. Highly recommend working with JPS as an overseas trained doctor – you will need a hospital who will be prepared to do your peer-review and JPS and Thom did a great job organising all that for me.

Dr Martin Klein - Nephrologist,

I had an excellent experience working with Krystal Freeman from JPS Recruitment. As a psychiatrist from Sri Lanka seeking a psychiatry registrar position in Australia, the process initially felt overwhelming. However, Krystal made the entire journey smooth, professional, and stress-free. Krystal was very supportive, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me secure the right opportunity. Krystal not only identified a suitable employer for me but also ensured clear and effective communication throughout the process. Her guidance at every step—from job matching to connecting with the employer—was invaluable. What stood out most was her dedication and personalized approach. She truly understood my background, career goals, and expectations, and worked tirelessly to align me with the right position. I am extremely grateful for her support and would highly recommend Krystal Freeman and JPS Recruitment to any medical professional looking for opportunities in Australia. Her professionalism and commitment make her exceptional in her field.

Dr Umaharan Thamotharampillai - Psychiatric Registrar,

I recommend Corrie from JPS Recruitment very highly . From the very beginning of my journey to securing a medical position in Australia, she has been incredibly supportive, professional, and dedicated. Corrie went above and beyond to guide me through every step of the process, including job applications, interview preparation, visa documentation, and relocation arrangements. Her assistance did not stop once the job offer was secured—she continued to provide guidance and support until I successfully arrived in Australia. What truly sets Corrie apart is not only her expertise but also her genuine care for people. She understands the emotions, concerns, and challenges involved in moving to a new country and starting a new career chapter. Her advice was always thoughtful, practical, and tailored to my situation. Thanks to her commitment, patience, and encouragement, my transition to Australia was much smoother than I could have imagined. I am sincerely grateful for everything she has done for me and my family. Thank you, Corrie, for your exceptional support and for being such a wonderful human being.

Dr Prashant Tripathi - ED Registrar,

I had the great pleasure of working with Mr. Thomas Moore at JPS recruitment for my exploration of work options in Australia. I am a consultant medical specialist from Canada ,and had already gone through the RACP evaluation process. Mr. Moore identified a position for me, and prepared me very well for the interview and ensured that all reference letters were available to be reviewed in a timely fashion. I did get a job offer, and this was entirely due to Mr. Moore’s expertise and professionalism. I would not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Moore at JPS medical recruitment if you are interested in looking at work in Australia or New Zealand. You will receive first class, incredibly competent, service. I thank Thom very much for all of his work on my behalf, and I wish the whole team at JPS medical recruitment, all my very best.

Steven Sutcliffe, MD, FRCPC,

A big shoutout to Mr Thomas Moore from JPS. Words cannot express how grateful I am for everything he had done in helping me securing an ED Registrar position in Australia.

Thomas was highly professional, helpful and attentive throughout the entire process, starting from arranging the job interview, securing the position and assisting with the Aphra and working visa application. His guidance made the whole journey much smoother.

I am truly grateful, could not come this far without Thom’s excellent help and dedication. Thank you to Thom once again for the outstanding support.

Dr Lim Boon Pin - ED Registrar,

All my gratitude goes to Thom Moore who not only secured a job for me as an ICU registrar but also a rotational HMO post for my husband in the same hospital. I had certain requests and Thom fulfilled them all. Thom is very professional, transparent and pleasant to work with! I would recommend JPS recruitment to anyone because I definitely felt safe in Thom’s guidance.

Dr Rochini Arnold - ICU Reg,

I got stranded by another agency – leaving me with no job despite multiple applications made to multiple roles that were advertising under them. However, Jenii Prasad from JPS helped me get a contract within a week of being in contact with her AND at the same hospital that I was left stranded in under my previous agency! This woman will move mountains for you! Thank you Jenii!!
