Why Use Menlo Park?

How many times has your practice struggled to fill a vacancy?

We reach where advertising does not.We tap into a different pool of candidates that normal advertising doesn’t reach and as a result we are able to source higher-quality candidates. The best clinicians aren’t always looking for a job, but we can source them for you.
We are experts at what we do. We combine the latest recruitment technology with knowledgeable Consultants to deliver first-rate results within surprising timeframes.
We work proactively and scour the market. Our research shows that we typically have some form of contact with around 60-70% of the local candidate marketplace when working a job brief, in comparison to advertising’s 5%
We find Clinicians who want to join for the right reasons. There is evidence to show that Clinicians who are recruited through a recruitment consultancy are likely to last longer than those recruited through a job advert

I genuinely felt that it was important to David to find us a GP who fitted in our organisation, it wasn’t about just sending anyone over to us, the people we saw were outstanding.

Tracy Robertson-Glenn - Riverside Practice, Cambridgeshire

We were initially reluctant to engage with a recruitment agency but have not looked back since making contact with Menlo Park. Since 2021 we have recruited 4 GPs and an Advanced Nurse Practitioner via Menlo Park and all of the candidates have been excellent. Patrick & Rohan ensured they fully understood the practice, the culture and our patient demographic. Both are extremely knowledgeable in regards to primary care and market-rate for salaries locally which was very helpful when finalising our offer to candidates I would have no hesitation in recommending Menlo Park to any practice.”

Matt Berry - Park Medical Centre, Staffordshire

After struggling to recruit a GP we made the decision to look for an agency to assist with our search, but we were reluctant. It was really refreshing to deal with such a professional agency. Matthew was very professional and knowledgeable about the local area and totally honest about the challenges we may face. He really took the time to understand what we required from a candidate and how we worked as a practice to get the right person for us.
He kept us up-to-date regularly and because of the time and effort he had given us in the beginning meant that we found the perfect candidate for us.

The 2026 GP Hiring Surge

New NHS practice-level reimbursement funding (2026–27 contract) is driving a wave of salaried GP demand, at exactly the moment candidate supply has tightened sharply from its 2023 peak. Vacancies are surging, but roles are increasingly hard to fill. The market has fundamentally shifted.
