BMJ Careers Supporting better recruitment decisions in healthcare For more than 180 years, BMJ Group has been at the forefront of providing research, knowledge, and education to health professionals worldwide, envisioning a healthier world for all. Right from the publication of our first print edition in October 1840, recruitment advertising has been a key part of our offering to doctors. Today, BMJ Careers is one of the world’s leading platforms for medical jobs and career advice. In 2024, more than half of UK NHS trusts and health boards advertised on bmj.com/careers , which now carries 55% of consultant vacancies in England and Wales. 33 “We recently appointed a fantastic candidate through BMJ Careers to a hard- to-fill post. Without them, we’d have faced much higher costs via agency or bank routes.” Robert Calvert , medical recruitment manager, Homerton Hospital, London In recent years, BMJ Careers has evolved from a transactional job board into a high performing subscription model that delivers a measurable impact for recruiters. Customers who took a subscription in 2024 received on average 316% more applications than before subscribing (vs 205% increase seen by our first 100 subscribers) at a 72% reduction in cost per advert (vs 58% for the first 100). 34 This demonstrates how our development of best practice in candidate acquisition over time delivers a more effective recruitment solution that offers better value for NHS budgets.
