Guiding you through the minefield

The opening of European borders was heralded as the start of a whole continent of new opportunities. There was talk of people being able to work anywhere and do anything.
But it’s never quite worked like that.
And we, along with employers across the city, now find ourselves facing a minefield of new eligibility rules for workers from the European Union – and further afield.
The points system is now in place which we have to work through with every potential candidate before we can sign them up. And we must demonstrate we have been through that process to clients we are working with.
To help employers we’ve put together a guide to eligibility which you can find in the legal zone of our website.
The legal zone contains quite a bit of information which you might find useful. If there’s anything else you’d like to us to feature on there do let us know by email.

Welcome to my first blog!

Welcome to my first blog!At the end of one of our busiest years to date, and with us taking the final steps towards being a paperless office, we felt the time was right to pass on our knowledge, information and ideas to candidates, clients and those in the industry, through the power of the internet.So here I am, sitting at my desk in the middle of a busy office, writing my first blog – not bad for someone who leaves technology to other people whenever possible!As well as launching the blog, this month has seen the distribution of our 11th annual Salary Survey. This year, to save us hours with the calculator, we handed over the compilation of the facts and figures to experts in the field who were able to collate, calculate and distribute the information at the click of a few buttons.The survey – which boasts 21 employers, including big names like Diligenta and Thomas Cook – is a brilliant snapshot of what’s going on in the market.
