Global Recruitment Partners

In order to assist in the recruitment, selection, placement and visa process AHA works with approved recruiting partner(s) in the participant’s country. The AHA Global Recruitment Partner has the responsibility to outline program details, all costs associated with the visa processing, enrollment into AHA’s program and pre-departure orientation. Participants may contact AHA directly if they have any questions or concerns. However, most questions can be addressed by the AHA Global Recruitment Partner and in such cases the participants will be redirected to the recruiting partner. Once a candidate is referred to AHA by an AHA Global Recruitment Partner they may not apply directly or work directly with AHA. In most countries AHA will require all applicants to apply through one of our Global Recruiting Partners.
