Recruitment is a tricky game that – at this point -- every care provider in the UK (and even the NHS) is playing. You hire healthcare workers, and they resign after a few months—the arduous cycle continues.
But the million-pound question is, are you and all other healthcare service providers in the UK on the same boat? You might think everyone is, but frankly, we at IANS Domiciliary Care aren’t—or at least, not anymore.
And so are Michelle, Petros, Neil, and all other UK employers who hopped on the international recruitment lifeboat and learned that “Hey, I don’t have to drown. There’s a way out!”.
The Way Out
Fairly recently, Michelle Nyatito, Multilink’s managing director, held a sponsorship interview with our overseas candidates. The interview was done online, with no paid job ads, no CV screening, and no unqualified candidates on the queue. All Michelle had to do was prepare her interview questions, turn on her laptop, and show up.
The result? After two (meticulous) interviews, Michelle gave a job offer to two eligible senior carers from our Dubai branch, Rhine Lachica and Morenalee Resolo. This is in addition to over 15 senior carers they hired from IANS. A few days later, Michelle came to Dubai for a trip and met her new care staff.
The real icing on the cake? Gone are the days when Multilink was too short of staff that they were considering closing their business. They now found their way out of the never-ending workforce shortage loop through international recruitment.
What is International Recruitment with IANS?
International recruitment.
You’ve heard of it, but you haven’t really considered trying. Or maybe you have a sponsor license sitting on your desk, but you don’t see the real benefits of having one.
I tell you why – a sponsor license is only as good as a piece of paper if you don’t have access to a global workforce that is 1) eligible, 2) employable, and 3) UK-ready. And that’s what “international recruitment with IANS” is all about.
So how do we stack the odds in your favour?
1. All-in-One Services
IANS is not just your ordinary agency. With a specialised service centred on addressing all international recruitment needs, our expert team plays an important role in three critical areas:
- Training: IANS has a large database of senior carers and registered nurses who are trained and qualified to work in the UK. Our live e-sessions and study portals allow our candidates to understand the standards of care in the UK, which enable them to implement these soft and hard skills into the actual healthcare setting. Even better: IANS UAE is also a member of the British Council IELTS Partnership Programme, making us a credible partner for IELTS training.
- Recruitment: Once a candidate completes all their requirement, they are handed over to our recruitment team, who shortlists them for an interview. This means that if you’re a UK sponsor and you’ve partnered with us, you don’t need to do any of the recruitment scut work—scratch the job ads, the screening, and the long waiting time. Just give us your requirements, and we’ll give you your candidates. For instance, our recently-hired candidates, Rhine and Moranalee, went into the program and were trained before they were put forward for an interview.
- Immigration: Hired an overseas migrant who can work for you for 3-5 years? The next step is easy--for our immigration experts, that is! From requesting and assigning a CoS to fixing your candidate’s visa, our legal team is the best at handling all things immigration-related, so you can expect your new healthcare workers to come to the UK within the shortest time. New to international recruitment? Our solicitors can fix your sponsorship application and license management, too!
2. Global Presence
Remember Michelle who just hired two carers from Dubai? Michelle isn’t alone. She’s only one of 100s of UK sponsors that hired healthcare workers from the UAE, Africa, and Asia through our help.
How? It’s not just about us working remotely, but us thinking globally. In addition to our main office in London, IANS has expanded to Dubai, India, and the Philippines. Our physical presence in these countries allows us to do face-to-face interviews and get the best healthcare workers who want to migrate to the UK.
