Employers are facing increasing challenges to recruit reliable and able staff due to a variety of reasons, including changes in work culture and the ever changing economic forces of demand and supply. This often results in unaffordable wage demands and an unstable workforce which means business suffers. Venture Connect can assist in finding the right person with fair demands for a skilled job when traditional recruitment practices from the domestic labour market don’t work.
Businesses should be structured in how they operate which means roles with responsibilities need filled by adequately qualified and responsible people. When the domestic labour market fails in being able to find solutions for business staffing requirements, Venture Connect can assist by tapping into the overseas labour market, sourcing candidates, facilitating interviews and processing administrative requirements for immigration, set out by the UK Government.
Recruiting from the overseas labour market will not be a complex affair through Venture Connect. Employers will interview candidates through video calls, explain job roles and terms of employment for their business and induct staff into their job roles as they would expect to do when hiring from the domestic labour market. It goes without saying that the overseas labour market will more often than not, offer greater choice for specific roles and plug essential staff requirement gaps which employers find difficult to fill from the domestic labour market.

Assessing Criteria and Methodologies for Informed Decision-Making

UK government compliance has stringent policies which promote robust business ethics and ensure staff from the overseas labour market are employed on fair terms. This in turn creates an intangible but strong business value when looking to employ personnel from overseas labour markets. Employers need to appreciate their recruitment and skills shortage issues are being addressed by individuals who are leaving their families and loved ones to devote their working life in a country not of their own and need assurances prior to taking a leap of faith.
Venture Connect would evaluate your business structure and requirements to help implement manpower solutions to address human resource gaps and meet commercial objectives. Relationship building is key to achieving such commercial objectives – businesses perform best with a strong team who go the extra mile when required which is why the old cliché ‘you are only as good as the people you work with’, resonates with business owners. Venture Connect certainly promotes this ethos.
We place equal emphasis on technical ability as we do with working culture. A key requirement in identifying correct manpower resource is knowing exactly the type of person needed for the role, why the local labour market was not able to provide a solution and understand the ‘need to have’ vs the ‘want to have’ so that we can hopefully identify personnel options which meet all business requirements and accelerate the process of employees fulfilling employer expectations. Venture Connect considers an organisations human resource pool to be its biggest asset – only if the right people are in the right role to shoulder and take seriously, designated responsibilities for their employer.
