Optimal Optom
Built by people who truly understand the optical industry
At Optimal Optom, recruitment goes beyond filling vacancies. Our experience within optical practices helps us understand the challenges and expectations of both employers and professionals. As a result, we create placements that work in practice, not just on paper.
Trusted by professionals
Why work with Optimal Optom? We believe recruitment should be fair, transparent, and focused on long-term success, which is why our approach, and our results, are different.
-
We offer one of the most competitive recruitment fees in the UK optical market.
Our 12.5% fee is fully transparent, inclusive of VAT, and includes a 3-month rebate clause, giving you confidence, clarity, and peace of mind with every hire.
-
We’re not general recruiters.
Our team includes optometrists who have worked in real practices and consulting rooms, allowing us to truly understand clinical expectations, workplace dynamics, and what makes a placement succeed long-term.
-
We focus on quality, not volume.
Every candidate we’ve placed has remained in post for at least a year, with consistently positive feedback from both practice directors and professionals, a reflection of our careful screening and matching process.
