I have nothing but good words to say about the CanAm team who provided excellent services above and beyond my expectations. CanAm is very professional and transparent and I would recommend them to any of my colleagues. I am an international medical graduate and CanAm has accommodated my family and I, and I am very thankful for their services. They treated us as family and they are the best recruiters.
Michelle: You will recall that I responded to an urgent request for an anesthesia locum in Gander, NL that was put out through Canam Recruiting last summer. After an initial conversation with John Philpott, I agreed to take on the job for the month of July. There was a short timeline to get licensure and privileges organized and I found your help invaluable in getting things done in order to start in Gander on July 2. Considering that this was a fast-track application for licensure in Newfoundland, the process was still quite labour intensive and time consuming and without your help in dealing with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Newfoundland and Labrador, I don’t think that we would have met the deadline to get me in place for that start date. You also followed up after my arrival to ensure that things were working out. As it turned out, the month in Gander worked out remarkably well. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and was able to do some travelling in the vicinity and enjoy the many delights of that part of Newfoundland. Thank you for your help in making it all possible.
CanAm Recruiting has been great to work with from day one! I can alway rely on a quick response regarding my recruitment needs. We have recruited three full-time permanent physicians in a 6 month time period from CanAm, as well as one locum physician, all in different specialties. These physicians were very well qualified and have worked out nicely. Unlike other agencies, CanAm seems to really understand the recruitment process and builds a relationship with both the physician and the health authority. Such a relationship does not often exist in other agencies.
Phil Jost – I am writing to you to express my gratitude and admiration for your professionalism, high standards and matching capabilities in fitting doctors and their families in the appropriate environment in Canada. My trip in March 2011 was smoothed with careful planning thanks to your Company associates whether those were lawyers , travel agents, bankers orstate agents. My way was paved all the way through.Certainly from this experience CanAm earned my respect, my trust and my loyalty in helping me realise my dream!
Our Department recently underwent a major transition with the opening of a new ED structure, a new Medical School, implementation of a new academic funding plan, and significant augmentation of clinical staff. We have been successful in recruiting over a dozen new emergency physicians, several of whom were direct referrals from Mr. Jost and CanAm. CanAm services have been exemplary through an approach that involves extensive research, careful matching of clients and physicians, an intimate knowledge of the health care industry both locally and internationally, and a work ethic that simply does not quit. I have found Mr. Jost to be forthright, professional, and reliable, an excellent communicator, and willing to adapt to our needs and requests. Our new physicians hired through his services have fit in extremely well on the medical, interpersonal and family life fronts, and are among the best in the field. I certainly would recommend the services of CanAm Physician Recruiting Inc., and Mr. Phil Jost without reservation.
None of the good things already posted about Hedi Cameron are exaggerations. At the age of 52 I have seldom if ever met a more professional person, pleasant to talk to and following through on every detail. After she spent some time with me at one of my job interviews, the person who hired her to recruit me also commented on her outstanding professionalism, as it is even more apparent in person than it is on the phone. I once told a friend thinking of relocating to Canada to call her if interested, that she would feel like a million dollar CEO the way everything was taken care of in such a friendly, prompt and efficient manner. Now I’m moved to the practice she helped me choose without pressure, she is still invested in my success here. We doctors seldom encounter people in the business world who behave as if every person and every detail matters in the way we often try to in our work, so when someone exceeds our expectations it really is extraordinary.
The Dr. G. B. Cross Memorial Hospital recently worked with CanAm Physician Recruiting Inc. to secure 2 positions for our hospital. CanAm worked with the candidates to ensure that they were aware of the immigration processes and the licensing process of our province. They answered all of our questions and facilitated a good communication link with the potential candidates. Since hiring the 2 physicians, CanAm has followed up with our office to ensure that the physicians are meeting our needs.
Even though I have never met Warren and John in person, they were always there when needed, they helped me since day 1, finding the right job, adjusting my CV, tips for the phone interview, and through the whole licensing and immigration process. Warren called me in several occasions even without being asked, he even picked up an envelope for me himself when no one was there. I Just want to thank you all for all your help, I can easily say that coming to Canada would not have happened without your help.
Received by CanAm’s Immigration Counsel, Ravi Jain, LL.B., LL.M., Partner, Green & Spiegel, Barristers and Solicitors, “Thank you so much for your help. That’s the best $1500 I’ve spent in a while. You’ve helped make me and my family very happy. Happy Holidays”.
Getting ready to move and work in Canada can be quite an overwhelming process and I honestly don’t think that it would have happened as quickly or as smoothly if it wasn’t for Phil Jost. I moved over from the UK on my own in 2008, but Phil was there for me every step of the way. From the very first telephone conversation he was able to assess my credentials and provide me with accurate information with regards to licensing and where I could practice as a family physician in Canada. Phil has extensive experience in working with physicians and keeps himself informed on any new developments that could affect his clients. He maintains a strong working relationship with colleagues in the Department of Health and at the College of Physicians and Surgeons and was also able to liase with them on my behalf. The immigration process is tedious but he made regular phone calls to me to see how it was going and was always available when I needed advice. He is incredibly efficient in his work, has a good understanding of the indvidual’s needs, is encouraging and extremely patient. After arriving in Canada I was introduced to his family who welcomed me and became my first friends here. He was able to advise me on most things from buying a car to where to buy the best snow gear. After living in Canada for over two years he still checks up on me and makes himself available and approachable. He has and continues to remain genuinely interested in me as well as my family’s welfare. I am very grateful to him for his huge efforts, he truly goes above and beyond, and would recommend him wholeheartedly without any reservation.
“Michelle and the team at CanAm recruiting have been fantastic to deal with. They assisted us in recruiting several specialists successfully to our group practice. From ad posting to recruitment to interviewing, Michelle was there every step of the way. Would recommend highly to anyone looking to recruit physicians in Canada.” F.S. London, ON
I have found CanAm Recruiting real experts in the field of matching good jobs with excellent candidates. John Philpott is a true professional. One will find he has a true interest in the client/candidate finding the appropriate match and all the accompanying contacts to make a smooth transition possible.
