employing migrant workers

Due to a shortage of certain specialist skills and the difficulty in finding the right people for vacant positions, employers in the UK are increasingly recruiting overseas workers. There are also multi-national corporations who regularly need to transfer senior and other employees across national borders. The steps employers have to take to comply with the relevant legislation are incredibly complex because the rules are constantly evolving and expanding.

about the team

Our team is headed by Lynne Ingram who has extensive experience of business immigration issues gained from having clients ranging from multi-national corporations, through large private companies, to many small regional businesses.

Whether you are thinking about taking someone on who now lives locally or actively planning to recruit from abroad, you need a team on your side with expertise in UK business immigration systems. Also you need assistance in understanding the legal requirements in international jurisdictions, both within Europe and beyond, to ensure that you're not breaking the law.

how we can help

We can make sure that the people you take on, from permanent staff, casual and seasonal workers to contractors, consultants, directors and agents, are legally entitled to work in the UK, that any contracts you draw up are fair and legally binding, both in this country and abroad, and that all visas and permissions to work documentation are obtained and in good order.

We will:

• Audit your current recruitment processes to ensure they meet the requirements of the increasingly complex legislation
• Assist you to recruit overseas workers from various immigration categories
• Train your Managers and Human Resources staff so that they know what the law is and how to comply with it

in good company

Many of our clients originally came to us through word of mouth recommendation. They've stayed with us because we deliver.

If you're keen to succeed in recruiting non-UK nationals, get in touch, you'll be in good company.
