Recruitment and Immigration: Essential Considerations for Employers

Watch the video below from our webinar held on 21 January 2025.

When recruiting, it’s essential for employers to follow a fair process and adhere to any existing recruitment policies, such as equal opportunities monitoring, shortlisting, and selection. Employers should also ensure job advertisements are designed to avoid discrimination and other potential pitfalls.

Recruiting from overseas introduces additional complexities. Employers must verify an employee’s right to work in the UK, manage visa requirements, and meet strict compliance obligations.

In this webinar, employment law expert Karen Morovic shares valuable insights and practical guidance, including:

  • Identifying potential pitfalls
    Tips for navigating challenges in recruitment, from advertising and equal opportunities monitoring to selection processes.
     
  • Proposals for reform
    Explore changes like the Employment Rights Bill and the potential removal of the two-year qualifying period for unfair dismissal claims.
     
  • Immigration compliance
    Clear guidance on verifying the right to work in the UK, understanding employer obligations, and managing visa requirements.
