Healthcare recruitment is where I can make a difference and be a part of something that truly matters. |

What education background do you have that helps you with your current job? |
My degree in MA International Relations & Sociology may not seem directly relevant to healthcare recruitment, but it has provided me with valuable skills such as critical thinking, communication, and research, which are essential in my role as a recruiter. |
