Recruitment from sub-Saharan Africa occurs despite pleas to discontinue such efforts from local and international ministries of health.Western recruitment agencies, such as O’Grady Peyton International (USA and UK) and Allied Health (Australia), have established offices in South Africa to facilitate recruitment, while corporations such as Shoppers Drug Mart (Canada) and Rite Aid actively recruit from South Africa using touring recruitment workshops. Recruitment strategies involve advertising in national newspapers and journals, text-messaging to health workers, personal emails and internet sites, and recruitment workshops. Offers of employment are accompanied by legal assistance with immigration, guaranteed earnings, and moving expenses.
