Employing & Vetting Non-UK Nationals
Unravelling Critical and Complex Issues for Recruiters
22nd November 2007

This timely conference looks closely at the latest critical issue confronting HR and Recruitment professionals today - employing and vetting non-UK nationals and help HR, recruitment professionals and employment lawyers ensure they are using the best practice when hiring non-UK nationals. Can you tell the difference between real and fraudulent documents? Delegates at this event will discover the differences and learn how to avoid litigation when vetting foreign nationals.

Background

Recruitment specialists in HR face increasing complexities in their roles - legislative changes in immigration will be occurring each year between now and 2010. The revelation that all eight suspects implicated in the recent terror attacks had come to the UK to work in the NHS, has posed major questions of public and private sector procedures for hiring non-UK staff.

Employee vetting to prevent fraud and ensuring organisations comply with the law regarding illegal immigrants is becoming increasingly more complicated and has a significant impact on HR and recruitment professionals. However this can cause a major headache for all concerned, as organisations need to be careful they do not discriminate against any employees and that they are aware of their social obligations to all their staff. Yet with the onus being on bosses to check their staff it seems reasonable to ask 'How far might employers' duties extend in the future?' This conference will look at the issues that the political agenda raises for businesses wanting to recruit from abroad, and provide a broad overview of the legal minefield of doing this.

With rigorous legislation which ensures the fair and equable treatment of foreign nationals in the employment process whilst addressing and adhering to the skills requirements of British business, it has become something of a minefield for employers and applicants alike. This conference demystifies the complexities of immigration and screening which face employers both now and in the future .
