Dear DocCafe, I have thought about changing practice locations for over a year. I fished around with some other services and never had any opportunity presented to me that I found interesting. I listed my CV on your website and immediately had numerous responses from knowledgeable recruiters. Thanks to your service a recruiter matched me to my dream job only a few weeks after posting my CV. Your service is highly recommended!

I found a job! Thanks to DocCafe.com, a recruiter, who actually read my background, put me in touch with a client looking for someone with my qualifications. Given that I work in a very small health care niche the chances of my finding this employer on my own would be slim. Thanks for your help.

I got a few interviews based on my info from the site. I think the site is great and would use it again if I happen to change jobs. Thanks!
