The tightening of the labour market and the reduction of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers within the UK are making it difficult for some companies to recruit locally. At Acorn, we pride ourselves on the professional and well-managed way in which we supplement local labour with appropriate, assessed workers from elsewhere in the EU.
Acorn’s specialist European Division, one of the forerunners of positive European labour recruits workers from across the European Union. With an extensive database of checked and referenced candidates, we are constantly expanding our pool of workers through well-managed partnerships that have been developed over time across the EU.
Acorn’s European Division works in conjunction with our Contract Management team to provide a fully managed service to our clients. We will not only source and train your workforce as appropriate but also arrange all accommodation and HR management including payroll services and assist them with their Workers Registration Scheme application. We also continually support all our European workers adapting to working and living in the UK.
The growth and supply of labour in the UK is being limited by an ageing population, longer periods spent in education and high levels of economic inactivity. See our Western Mail article from November 2004 ‘Managing the quiet rise of European workers” which demonstrates how well Acorn looks after European workers and how clients and local economies benefit from a professionally managed approach.
