TERN Group is an AI-powered global talent mobility platform founded in 2023 that connects healthcare professionals from countries like India to high-demand markets in the UK, Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond.[1][2][5] It provides a full-stack solution for sourcing, training, certifying, deploying, and integrating workers—such as nurses, care workers, and diagnostic radiographers—reducing hiring timelines from 6–12 months to under 10 weeks with 60% faster time-to-hire, 3X cost savings, 15–20% productivity gains, and 96% retention rates.[1][2] Serving healthcare systems facing workforce shortages, TERN solves cross-border recruitment challenges through AI-driven matching, compliance, visa support, housing, and cultural integration, positioning itself as workforce infrastructure rather than a traditional agency.[1][2][3]
The company has raised $33 million total, including a $24 million Series A in 2025 led by Notion Capital to fuel Europe expansion, building on an oversubscribed Seed round.[1] This funding underscores strong growth momentum amid global healthcare labor gaps, with partnerships like India's NSDC and operations in 13 source countries.[1][2]
TERN Group was founded in 2023 by Dubai-based Avinav Nigam, a clinician, HR expert, and AI technologist who built the platform to address healthcare workforce shortages.[1][2] Operating from London, UK, it emerged from the need for efficient cross-border hiring in strained systems like the UK's NHS and Gulf providers, sourcing talent primarily from India via digital campaigns and deep partnerships.[1][2][5] Early traction came from its tech-first approach, verifying candidates rigorously and handling the full hire lifecycle, leading to an oversubscribed Seed round and rapid Series A scaling.[1][3]
Pivotal moments include partnering with India's National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the government's largest skill body, and proving metrics like 96% retention, which attracted investors amid post-pandemic healthcare pressures.[1][2]
TERN rides the global healthcare talent shortage wave, exacerbated by aging populations, post-COVID burnout, and spiraling costs in markets like the UK, Germany, and Gulf states.[1] Its timing aligns with AI adoption in HR and regulatory pushes for faster immigration, enabling 60% quicker hires amid 10–20 million worker gaps projected worldwide.[1][2] Market forces favoring TERN include Gulf clinical expansion, EU labor mobility needs, and India's vast skilled pool, amplified by AI efficiencies that traditional agencies can't match.[1][3]
By influencing the ecosystem as "workforce infrastructure," TERN sets standards for compliant, scalable cross-border platforms, partnering with governments like NSDC and earning trust from systems in four countries—potentially reshaping recruitment as AI-human hybrids become norm.[1][2]
TERN's Series A positions it for aggressive Europe and GCC growth, likely expanding to more specialties and source countries while deepening AI for predictive matching and retention.[1] Trends like AI regulation, remote upskilling, and demographic shifts will propel it, with potential for acquisitions or IPO as healthcare digitizes. Its clinician-led model could evolve influence from recruiter to essential infrastructure, sustaining trust in a trust-scarce industry—echoing its core strength in blending tech speed with human sustainability.[1][2]
Tern Group has raised $34.0M across 3 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $24.0M Series A in September 2025.
