A serious alternative to local hiring

Recruiting from the Philippines through BW costs one month's salary plus USD 500 and draws on the largest English-trained nursing workforce in the world: BSN-qualified, PRC-licensed, DataFlow-verified professionals who work in English from day one.
For most facilities this prices international recruitment at or below the cost of a local agency hire.

Free replacement within the first three months if a placement does not work out.
A reduced fee applies from three to six months.
A departure after six months is a new engagement.
