Innovations in on-line recruitment
Specialist technical and engineering recruitment company NES has been short-listed as a finalist in the 'Onrec' awards for 2006, for their innovations in on-line recruitment
NES is experienced at organising and assisting with the applications for individuals wishing to gain their HSMP, SEGS, Work Permit, or Worker Registration Schemes - and can advise at every stage of the visa process, ensuring that overseas candidates are kept fully informed and are assisted with their applications.
Says Mark Tully, managing director at NES: "We realise that it is no longer enough to have a fully networked database of skilled candidates in order to satisfy the requirements of our broad client base, so it is encouraging to see a considerable proportion of our clients expressing an interest and a willingness to employ skilled Foreign National Candidates.
For companies that require oil and gas, civil-structural, chemical engineering and rail personnel, this OISC registration will widen the pool of available NES candidates in these buoyant marketplaces, all of which are continuing to contribute to an ever increasing demand for suitably qualified personnel.
Skilled workers from Bulgaria and Romania are expected to provide additional support when these countries become part of the EU at the beginning of 2007.
This will enhance the current international recruitment function at NES, which already includes a flow of candidates from countries in the EU, Asia, the Americas and Africa.
Matthew is ideally positioned to facilitate the transition of workers to the UK, assisting companies and applicants and providing guidance around the obstacles traditionally associated with hiring non-UK candidates".
