HR Training For Hiring Foreign Workers

HR teams face constant pressures in recruiting the best talent, developing staff, and optimising senior management and employee relations. Where HR teams hire foreign workers, the challenge is heightened due to regular changes to immigration law, compliance requirements and matching organisational skills to the sponsor licence held by the business. Similar issues are faced by educational institutions such as universities, colleges and academies where student visas bring in candidates to learn new skills and obtain degree level classification.

In both situations, if the turnover in foreign workers/students is high, engaging legal support for each new candidate can be costly over time. Once a sponsor licence is granted, there are vital compliance requirements that need to be met and maintained. If notfollowed, this can result in large fines, revocation of licence and damage to the business' reputation.
