Frequently Asked Questions

What types of roles does Nova Life recruit for in the UAE healthcare sector?

We recruit across the full range of roles within a healthcare facility, including doctors, medical specialists, registered nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, allied health professionals, receptionists, administrative staff, and facility support roles. Whether you need a senior clinical appointment or a reliable support hire, we manage the process with the same level of care and attention.

How does Nova Life verify the credentials of healthcare candidates?

We conduct a structured credential verification process for every candidate, which includes reviewing academic qualifications, professional licences, employment history, and any specific credentialing requirements set by DHA, DOH, or MOHAP. Where applicable, we also check for any disciplinary history or licence restrictions before presenting a candidate to your facility.

How long does the recruitment process typically take?

Timelines vary depending on the role and level of specialisation required. Administrative and support roles can often be filled within two to four weeks. Specialist clinical roles may take longer depending on the credential requirements and depth of the candidate pool. We provide realistic timelines at the start of every search and keep you updated throughout.

Can Nova Life recruit healthcare staff from outside the UAE?

Yes. We source candidates both from within the UAE and from international markets where there is a strong supply of qualified healthcare professionals. For international candidates, we support the process of understanding UAE licensing requirements, visa considerations, and the steps involved in transitioning to practice in the UAE.

What happens if a placement does not work out after hiring?

We work hard to ensure every placement is the right fit before it is made, through thorough screening, credential verification, and cultural assessment. In the event that a placement does not work out within an agreed period, we discuss the situation with your facility and work to find a suitable resolution, which may include sourcing an alternative candidate.
