Working out who can and cant work in the UK can be very complex and as recruiters we take our responsibility to understand the do's and dont's so that we can guide both clients and candidates. In order to help we recently sent Sarah Penny, Associate Partner to an Immigration day to help us to understand the points based system which is now in place. You can find an article with updated details on our website but please note that whilst we are aware of the current immigration changes, we are not visa/permit specialists and would recommend going to: www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk in the first instance for any questions you may have over the new system. It is important that as a candidate you inform your recruiter of your nationality and visa status so that we can best advise you and our client on how to proceed.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support during 2011. Its been a fantastic year for our team, we welcomed 3 new associates - Catherine, Katie and Damon and we worked with some great candidates and clients.
For many people this was a year of trepidation, was the Euro going to crash, what was going to happen to the economy and how was the market research industry going to respond to new technology and who was going to merge with who? Once again it appears that the market research industry has demonstrated flexibility, ingenuity and real commercial spirit and we are very proud to be a part of its growth and development by providing great talent. We work with some great candidates and we are genuinely pleased when the hard work our candidates do secures them a job that will help to build their careers.
So Happy Christmas to all of you and heres to a very successful 2012 for all of us. We'll be back on the 3rd January 2012 with another new associate so we'll see you then.
Best Wishes from Sinead, Sarah, Kate, Nicky, Bea, Catherine, Katie & Damon
