Recruitment from Non-EEA Areas

The UK's reliance on the employment of foreign workers continues to rise with the growth of economy. As this reliance grows, it is vital that employers and recruiters are able to satisfy the statutory requirements associated with securing quality talent from across the world.

A range of factors are driving employers' decisions to recruit from the overseas work force which includes need to fill UK skills gaps which cannot be filled by suitable UK workers along with the need to gain access to specialist skills not readily available in the UK and to provide staffing solutions for specialty occupations in areas such as banking and finance, healthcare, engineering and education.

Compliance

Those UK employers sponsoring staff under the Tier 2 scheme can expect, at some stage, to receive a visit from Visiting Officers of the UK Border Agency. The purpose of the visit is twofold :

»	To ensure that you have the processes and human resource practices in place to enable you to meet (or continue to meet) your sponsorship duties
»	To ensure that you are compliant with an employer’s legal responsibilities towards the prevention of illegal working as well as other related immigration legislation

Full compliance will lead to your company securing an ‘A’ rating from the UK Border Agency. Non-compliance could lead to prosecution, the loss of your licence, or both.
