Employing overseas nationals in the UK: an introductory guide for employers

We are all familiar with the current shortage of talent in the UK and in a competitive recruitment market, recruiting talent from abroad is on many resourcing teams’ agendas.

The UK immigration system is complex and has seen a lot of change over the last few years, and with the Home Office having recently announced a threefold increase in illegal working penalties, now is a good time to get to grips with the basics or refresh your knowledge.

At our webinar, we discussed:

Key immigration routes

- an overview of the UK immigration system, with a focus on the key immigration routes for employers, including sponsoring skilled workers

Sponsorship

- the minimum requirements for recruiting skilled workers from overseas

- an overview of your obligations as a sponsoring employer

Prevention of illegal working

- how to get your right to work checks right and (and the penalties if you get them wrong)

This webinar is free to attend.

This webinar is designed for in-house lawyers, human resources, recruitment and resourcing professionals, and others with responsibility for recruitment, onboarding and HR compliance within their organisation.
