"Moving away from my home town in Nigeria was emotionally tough, as well as practically very demanding. I contacted International Staffing Solutions after deciding I wanted to move to the UK to pursue a slightly different pathway in medicine, and was pleasantly surprised at how much they took off my hands. It was a pleasant surprise."
