Applications

Pacmed uses the personal data the applicant encloses exclusively to ensure and enable a responsible, effective and efficient recruitment and selection process.

Carry out an assessment;
Implement or apply a law.

Pacmed will compare your personal data with the vacancy (or vacancies) and the associated qualifications and through the contact details you provide, Pacmed will inform you and keep you informed of the procedure.
