Client Testimonials
Finding a GOC-registered Optometrist who balances clinical excellence with commercial awareness is tough. FLSR understood our independent practice's ethos perfectly and placed a fantastic candidate who our patients absolutely love.
We needed reliable, high-calibre resident optometrists for three of our busiest retail stores. FLSR's vetting process is exceptional. They delivered candidates with strong OCT experience and great patient communication skills. A truly seamless experience.
We were looking for an Independent Prescribing (IP) Optometrist to lead our enhanced services clinic. FLSR's deep knowledge of the optical sector meant they didn't just send generic CVs—they headhunted the exact clinical specialist we needed.
Managing permanent clinical recruitment used to be a massive headache for our HR team. FLSR completely took the stress away. They consistently provide highly professional and patient-focused optometrists that fit our company culture perfectly.
