Research from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development shows that more employers intend recruiting from overseas.

25 per cent of all organisation surveyed by the Institute this summer revealed that they intend recruiting workers from abroad in the next quarter. This figure is up from 22 per cent when a similar survey was run earlier in the year.

Many UK companies are forced to recruit from abroad because of a lack of highly skilled talent in the UK, particularly in industries such as engineering, IT and healthcare.

“...the first resort for employers is simply to look towards the likes of Ireland, Spain and other countries with high levels of unemployment to fill some of these roles,” CIPD public policy adviser Gerwyn Davies told People Management.

Hiring staff from abroad to work in the UK presents itself with a number of challenges. Much of the relocation work within a company will fall on time pressed HR Departments.

Relocation can be a complex and time consuming procedure for both employees and employers. Whether you are relocating employees to Los Angeles, or looking for Corporate Relocation Services for an employee moving to the UK from China, wherever in the world you are operating, there is a lot of administration to get right.

The majority of HR Departments are busy enough these days, without having to worry about the intricacies of international relocation. For this reason many HR departments look to partner with dependable, experienced companies which can provide tailor-made corporate relocation services.

By designing relocation programmes around the specific needs of your organisation, relocation service experts and relocation agents are able to drastically ease the administrative burden on HR.
