Partner Services
When the work falls outside FMC's three core services, we introduce you to vetted care-sector specialists who deliver to the same standards we hold ourselves to.
Who it's for: Care providers who need recruitment support FMC doesn't directly deliver - whether that's a temporary internal recruiter, a fully outsourced function, or a one-off senior hire without agency percentage fees.
What's available through the network:
- Interim Internal Recruiters - care-experienced recruiters embedded in your team for 3-12 months, full or part-time. For sudden capacity gaps or major hiring pushes.
- Managed Recruitment Service - fully outsourced recruitment function delivered on a fixed monthly fee, no per-hire markups. For providers who've decided recruitment isn't a core competency they want to develop in-house.
- Fixed-Fee Recruiting - per-role recruitment for senior and specialist hires (registered managers, deputies, clinical leads) on a flat fee, replacement guarantee included. For providers who refuse 20-25% agency markups.
