Founder Story
VENTIMIGUIS was founded by Henriette Hopkins with the clear conviction that international recruiting is more than just CV matching. As a nurse, nursing manager, and entrepreneur, she knows both sides: everyday life in a clinic and the courage of international professionals to start afresh. This gave rise to VENTIMIGUIS. Started in Porto, today it is a multidisciplinary boutique for international recruiting: structured, fair, and long‒term. Quality instead of quantity. Partnership instead of quick fixes. Because real success comes when professionalism meets clear values.
The people behind every process, every decision and every achievement.
