Recruitment of migrants
You need to employ the best people for your business and if one of those people is a migrant, you are required to comply with strict requirements, depending on where the migrant is from.
In most cases, you will be required to undertake a complete recruitment process to show that you could not have employed a settled worker in your business instead.
How we can help
Our team can manage this process on your behalf to ensure you are compliant with the law and can manage the recruitment process as smoothly as possible.
We can assist you with reviewing applicants’ CVs to match against the job requirements and organise a resident labour market test if applicable. W e can also ensure that you are aware of the Right to work compliance roles when it comes to assessing eligibility and deciding to go ahead and offer a role to a migrant worker.
