Driven by preparation gaps — Amber closes this
The problem we solve

International hiring is broken.
We're fixing it.

The current reality
  • Agency placement fees of 12–18% per hire — on top of visa and relocation
  • Candidates arrive unprepared for local registration requirements and employer expectations
  • No standardised way to assess genuine readiness before committing to sponsorship
  • Onboarding failures because the preparation gap isn't visible until the candidate arrives
The Amber difference
  • Annual subscription — search and hire as many as you need, no per-placement fees
  • Every candidate completes destination-specific training before appearing in your search
  • The Readiness Badge confirms a clinician-led live interview — you know who is genuinely ready
  • Verified profiles: video introduction, qualifications, registration status, destination goals
How it works for employers

From search to shortlist
in minutes

Every candidate is verified. You search, filter, and message directly — no intermediary, no gatekeeping.

01

Search the verified pool

Filter by profession (nurse, midwife, care worker, AHP), source country, destination, care setting, registration status, readiness score, and availability date. Every result is a real candidate actively looking to relocate — not a dormant CV database.

02

Review verified profiles & video introductions

Every candidate has a structured profile covering qualifications, registration status, work history, destination goals, and English language certification. Premium candidates include a 2–3 minute video introduction — hear their English, assess communication style, and understand their motivation before you invest time in a call.

03

Check the Amber Readiness Badge

Badge holders have completed destination-specific training and passed a 45-minute live clinical interview conducted by a qualified clinician from their target country. The interview assesses clinical communication, understanding of local registration requirements, and cultural readiness. This is the single most reliable signal that a candidate will succeed from day one — not just that they want to move.

Contact candidates directly

Message candidates directly through the platform. No agency intermediary, no gatekeeping, no introduction fee. Your conversation is private, your relationship is yours, and your hire is yours. Amber never takes a placement fee or commission — you pay your annual subscription and that's it, regardless of how many candidates you hire.

05

Manage your pipeline

Save candidate profiles, add internal notes visible to your team, track status from first contact through to offer. Your account manager is available to support on anything from reference checks to visa timeline queries. When you're ready to extend an offer, Amber stays involved as long as you need us.

From the founder
I've spent 25 years in healthcare recruitment. I've watched employers lose good candidates to slow processes, pay agency fees that were never justified, and onboard nurses who arrived completely unprepared for what was waiting for them. And I've watched candidates spend years trying to navigate registration systems nobody properly explained to them. The preparation gap — between a willing international professional and a genuinely work-ready one — is where almost every international hire goes wrong. Amber exists to close that gap.

Before building Amber, I founded Qintil — a workforce learning and compliance platform that was acquired in 2025. I know what it takes to build technology that actually works in healthcare hiring. And I know what employers need, because I've spent decades on both sides of the conversation.

Amber isn't a job board. It isn't a database of CVs. It's a structured preparation and verification system that sits between a candidate's decision to move and their first shift in your organisation. By the time an employer sees a Readiness Badge on a profile, that candidate has completed destination-specific training, been interviewed by a qualified clinician, and been supported through the early stages of their registration journey. You're not hiring a possibility — you're hiring someone who is genuinely ready.

We're building Amber with a small group of founding employers who will shape what it becomes. If you're hiring internationally and you're tired of the current options — fees, noise, unverified candidates, broken processes — I'd like to talk.

The real cost of getting it wrong

Why international hiring
keeps failing employers

The problem isn't a shortage of willing candidates. It's a structural preparation gap that costs employers time, money, and attrition.

💸
12–18%

Agency placement fees

The typical cost of a single international nurse placement through a traditional recruitment agency — on top of visa sponsorship costs, relocation allowances, and onboarding time.

Industry benchmark · UK/AU/NZ markets
📋
1 in 3

Candidates unprepared for registration

International nurses who arrive without a clear understanding of local registration requirements, creating delays between arrival and clinical practice that cost employers productivity and cost candidates confidence.

No standard

No readiness benchmark

There is currently no standardised way for employers to assess whether an international candidate is genuinely ready to practise in their setting — before committing to sponsorship and relocation costs.

What founding partners actually get

Not just early access.
A seat at the table.

Founding partner status is different from being an early customer. Here's exactly what it means in practice.

01
🔒

Rate locked for life

Your founding partner rate is fixed for the first two years. After that, you move to a preferential lifetime rate — significantly below standard pricing, permanently.

£5,000 / year · 2-year fix · then preferential lifetime rate

👥

Full candidate pool from day one

Immediate access to every verified candidate on the platform from launch — searchable by profession, source country, destination, registration status, and readiness score. No waiting for volume to build.

Unlimited searches · unlimited hires

🛠️

Direct input into the platform

Founding partners have a direct line to the product roadmap. Your hiring workflow, your pain points, your wishlist — these directly influence what gets built. You're not a user, you're a co-designer.

Dedicated account manager

A named account manager who knows your organisation, your hiring needs, and your preferred candidate profile. Available throughout onboarding and your first hiring cycle — not a support ticket system.

Zero placement fees. Ever.

Amber will never charge a placement fee or commission on hires. One annual subscription covers unlimited searches and unlimited hires. The model is built so your interests and ours are aligned — not in tension.

No per-hire costs · ever

8 founding partner spots. 6 remaining.

This isn't manufactured scarcity. We're deliberately keeping the founding cohort small so we can give each partner genuine attention during the launch period. Once the 8 spots are filled, founding partner pricing closes.
