Company profile
researched Sep 2026MEDIjobs operates an online recruitment platform focused exclusively on the medical sector in Romania. Candidates — including physicians, general nurses, dental assistants, pharmacists, pharmacy assistants, orderlies, front desk officers and medical representatives — create a free profile describing their experience, desired salary and preferred location, after which the platform matches them with employer offers. The stated model reverses the conventional application flow: companies apply to candidates rather than candidates applying to postings, and candidate information is kept confidential. Candidates select offers, schedule interviews with employers directly, and a referral bonus is offered to users who recommend the platform to colleagues.
On the employer side, the platform is positioned as a way to connect with medical specialists faster than generalist job boards. Company materials state that more than 1,200 companies have used MEDIjobs to hire medical specialists and that the platform has over 41,000 registered candidates. The company describes its mission as increasing retention of medical specialists in Romania and improving the quality of health services by making recruitment more efficient for both candidates and employers on the medical market. Recruitment consultants are involved in the process, including post-placement follow-up with candidates.
The company was founded in 2015 and is based in Bucharest, at 26 Carol I. Directory listings categorise it under health and HR/recruiting, with fewer than 10 employees and total funding in the €500K–€1 million range.
