Work Permits

In order to recruit international individuals from outside the EU, you as the recruiter need to obtain their work permits. First you must make sure that the individual meets the correct skills/qualification criteria in order for you to legally do so.

Such criteria may be at minimum 3 years' experience in using specialist skills acquired through doing the job-type for which the permit is required. This should be at NVQ* level 3 or above (or SVQ* level 3 or above).

UK NRP regularly assists companies (and agencies working on the behalf of the companies) to benchmark occupational qualification against these criteria. For further info, you may wish to refer to the Qualification Verification Service section.
