international recruitment services
Recruitment is an
increasingly borderless activity, with hirers appointing recruiters
and staffing companies on an international basis, candidates being
sourced from around the world and clients expecting recruiters to
service all of their international needs.
Getting international
compliance wrong is a costly business, with huge tax, regulatory
and employment law liabilities materially affecting the value of
your business and longer term plans.
But there is a dearth of
expert legal advice on what recruitment and staffing companies, and
hirers, need to consider from a legal, tax and regulatory point of
view when operating across Europe and further afield. End users
also lack any central source of information about these issues when
they are considering how to standardise hiring across their
organisation or appoint an outsourcing partner to manage these
arrangements.
We have therefore built up a
unique network of workplace and commercial law experts throughout
Europe, the US and the Far East through which we provide advice on
recruitment, staffing, RPO and resourcing issues to users and
suppliers of recruitment services.

how do we work for you?
This service is unique because, over time, we
have selected and 'educated' local lawyers who understand
recruitment and staffing issues. Not only can this save you time
and money, in the long run it also helps ensure that you receive
relevant and commercially focused advice.
Channelling your enquiries through the group
enables us to "sanity check" advice given by European and other
lawyers and to ensure that any further relevant questions are
answered before passing the advice to you.
