  • I have had a very good experience with Jobs Agency FM, particularly with Enfermeras FM. My case was quite complicated because I had had about three bad experiences with other agencies and my time to go to Ireland was limited. I got several interviews in a week and when I passed the first one the paperwork was very fast. The treatment with the consultant was very kind, attentive and above all transparent. When I decide to change the hospital I will not hesitate to come back to them. In addition,  the fact that they explain everything in Spanish makes it even easier.
