HCP eXchange is an international recruitment firm specialized in the healthcare sector. Our goal is to enable healthcare professionals to practice their skills beyond their home country’s borders. The automatic recognition of their degrees and competencies within Europe facilitates mobility in these fields.
Challenges: Language barriers, unfamiliarity with the host country, and the difficulties associated with expatriation. In some cases, a certain level of experience may be required.
Our solutions:
- A program and partnerships to help you reach the necessary language level to meet the requirements of professional boards and to be able to work in your host country.
- The “HCP eXchange” programs, designed to help you discover the host country and solve issues related to your stay—especially housing.
What do we do?
Support with “HCP eXchange procedures”
From language preparation to the end of their experience abroad, we support healthcare professionals who wish to work internationally.
International recruitment requires structure. More than in traditional hiring, both recruiters and candidates must follow key principles to ensure a smooth and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
The HCP eXchange procedures help define the framework between candidates and healthcare institutions — including the duration of the experience and the conditions of integration.
For the host institution:
- Commit to hosting either 3 healthcare professionals for 4 months each (HCP 3×4 scheme) or 2 healthcare professionals for 6 months each (HCP 2×6 scheme).
- Provide future team members with housing that meets the standards set by HCP eXchange, in order to facilitate their relocation.
- Implement a clear and well-defined onboarding process and offer progressive assignments, taking into account the candidates’ learning and adaptation phase.
For the hosted healthcare professional:
- Work for 4 months in 3 host institutions that are partners of HCP eXchange or 6 months in 2 partner institutions.
- Commit to learning the language of the host country, if not already proficient, according to a defined schedule in order to be operational upon arrival.
This program offers healthcare professionals a unique opportunity to discover several regions of the host country. This immersive experience allows them to decide where and how to continue their career, while also promoting the learning of new medical approaches and the exchange of best practices.
As HCP eXchange specializes in international recruitment and the mobility of healthcare professionals, it is essential that both recruiters and candidates adhere to certain fundamental principles to ensure the best possible experience for both parties.
Traditional job listings
The use of traditional job listings is an option that we plan to develop later, particularly for healthcare professions for which the HCP eXchange modalities cannot be implemented.

Our Commitment: the eXchange
The eXchange does not refer to a reciprocal exchange of healthcare professionals between countries. It refers to an exchange of knowledge and professional practices. In this sense, the eXchange is directly inspired by the tradition of companionship, which is a source of pride for artisans in many countries thanks to its results, quality, and human values.
The goals are to understand how different European healthcare systems operate, to evolve our respective practices through the exchange of our different approaches to patient care, and to foster collaborative thinking around the challenges our professions currently face and will continue to face.
We are here to support you in preparing for and improving your experience: language learning, welcoming you into partner institutions, housing, and tools to help with your integration—and that of future participants.
By an expatriate healthcare professional, for healthcare professionals seeking expatriation.
HCP eXchange was created and is led by Christophe Vermorel, a Doctor of Pharmacy who graduated from the University of Rennes.
Why choose HCP eXchange?
Expertise dedicated to your sector of activity
We exclusively support healthcare professionals. This specialization allows us to have in-depth knowledge of the specific requirements of your professions, as well as the specific constraints of the job market in your field.
Unlike other sectors, large metropolitan areas are often well-supplied with local healthcare providers. Our expertise consists precisely in guiding you towards quality opportunities in medium-sized, attractive cities that guarantee a good work-life balance.
Concrete knowledge of the journey ahead of you
We understand the realities faced by healthcare professionals, especially when they choose to practice internationally:
- Specific needs:
A good command of the host country’s language is often essential for practicing with peace of mind. In the healthcare sector, direct contact with patients makes this requirement even more essential.
Moreover, administrative procedures — especially regarding housing — can represent an additional obstacle when settling abroad. - Multiple professional challenges:
- Adapting to a new work environment, multicultural teams, and sometimes different practices is a real challenge. That’s why we intervene upstream to facilitate your integration within our partner host facilities.
We prioritize an approach based on partnership relationships, a guarantee of continuity allowing us to ensure optimal quality of our services. - The medical sector is constantly evolving: new regulations, technological innovations, transformation of practices. Staying up to date while adapting to a new context represents a double challenge that we are committed to addressing alongside you.
- Adapting to a new work environment, multicultural teams, and sometimes different practices is a real challenge. That’s why we intervene upstream to facilitate your integration within our partner host facilities.
A solution designed for you
The HCP eXchange modalities have been designed based on these field realities. We offer you tailored support, both human and operational, fully adapted to the concrete challenges of healthcare professionals in international mobility.
Why prioritize partnerships over traditional job ads?
At HCP eXchange, we have chosen to build an approach based on long-term partnerships, rather than relying on one-off connections through standard job listings. This model offers several concrete advantages:
✔️ A proven onboarding environment
Our partner institutions are experienced in welcoming international healthcare professionals. They understand onboarding processes, know how to adapt assignments accordingly, and their teams are trained to support new practitioners in a multicultural context.
✔️ A guarantee of quality, continuity, and continuous improvement
Thanks to regular feedback from the field, we maintain an ongoing relationship with our partners. This allows us to evaluate the quality of onboarding, fine-tune our recommendations, and refine our practices.
More importantly, these exchanges help us gradually develop practical tools to support the integration of newcomers — such as welcome kits, practical guides, and team awareness materials — enhancing the overall efficiency of our support.
✔️ A relationship built on mutual trust
Our partners are not just recruiters: they are an integral part of our collaborative network. Together, we build a long-term vision, grounded in shared knowledge of the roles, expectations, and real-world needs.
✔️ Less uncertainty, more compatibility
Unlike the often impersonal nature of job ads, our approach ensures a better professional and human fit between professionals and institutions. This significantly reduces the risk of misalignment or failed integration.
