New EU state Romania is a hotbed of talent, according to leading recruiter Eutopia Solutions.

The firm recently spent a week in Bucharest, providing information to several hundred potential candidates. This generated enough candidate for its medical and dental business for the next four months, said managing director Craig Coverman.

"By going directly to the regions, word spreads fast that a professional recruiter is in town. This created a flood of quality candidates," Coverman said.

Eutopia won Recruiter's Gold Award for 2006.
