FAQ

What are the benefits of recruiting from Europe

There are many; especially since the UK has shortages of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labour willing to do the jobs many employers are trying to fill.

Benefits include:

Employ motivated, experienced and skilled staff
Staff are more willing to fill vacancies
Lower staff turnover
Staff tend to become very loyal
Some major employers in the food industry now experience a 30-40% lower annual staff turnover by using this method of recruitment.

How does Jark Europe recruit?

We use job specifications and candidate profiles, then pass the vacancy details to our own Polish office and the approved EU partnering agencies to help fill the vacancy, advertise vacancies in national newspapers and on the internet which enables us to attract the widest possible number of applicants. We then shortlist candidates, conduct interviews and, only then, select suitable candidates on your behalf.

How long does it take?

If we do not have any matching candidates on our large data base then filling your vacancies will take 2-3 weeks.

How do our new employees get here?

You do not have to worry about this as we take care of travel arrangements to ensure your new employees arrive in good time for their first day of work.

What about problems with English?

For vacancies that require a higher level of English, we will recruit candidates who match this requirement. Otherwise, it is normally sufficient to have one or two new employees with a basic knowledge of English who can follow daily work instructions and communicate with their colleagues. Your new employees will be keen to learn new skills and improve their English so communication problems will reduce over time.

What happens if an employee doesn’t want to stay?

An important part of the recruitment process is the selection of candidates who are prepared to stay in the UK for a long-term. Many of the candidates in the EU live in areas of high unemployment and because they have little chance of finding work at home, are keen to come and work in the UK to improve their situation and provide support for their families. We offer a replacement or 12 month refund policy for any unsuitable employees. (see Terms & Conditions)

What other responsibilities are there?

Jark Employment will make the move as easy as possible for your new employees, suitable accommodation will be arranged in advance close to their place of work. We will be assisting the employees to obtain National Insurance number, open bank accounts and register with the Home Office under the Worker Registration Scheme.

Can You Supply Us With Temporary Contract Employees?

Yes. We can also supply contract employees for companies who would like to see the benefits before taking people on a permanent basis or need to cater for increased workloads by bringing in temporary employees without the need to employ them directly. We take care of employment contracts, wages, tax, National Insurance, transport to work and accommodation.

What Will It Cost?

Our fees are extremely competitive and normally cheaper than larger companies due to our lower overheads. We offer easy payment terms ‘pay as you go’ for clients wishing to use our Permanent Recruitment Service. Our service pricing will be transparently informing our clients in writing what our agency commission is per assignment or per hour for each candidate. Larger assignment will be subject to discounts. (see Terms & Conditions).

Are Polish workers and tradesmen qualified to British standards?

Some countries in the EU do have a similar education system to the UK.

EU certificates, titles and diplomas are, in most cases, equivalent to their British counterparts.

Countries in the European Union, the procedure of accepting professional qualifications gained in the EU by respectful British institutions is simplified.

When by performance of a particular task, a given right or a certificate is not obligatory by law (regulated professions), it is the employer who decides exclusively whether to accept EU qualifications or not.

How can I be sure that the workers will stay and work for me as long as I want them to?

As an employee they can terminate the assignment. However, if you treat your employees fairly they will almost certainly stay and work for you till the end of the contract and appreciate the fact that they have a job.

Jark Employment recruits mainly from the other countries in the EU due to UK labour shortages . This way, the workers are coming to the UK to a specific employer, to a specific location and for a specific position and will treat the job seriously and not as something short term and temporary.

Will the workers bring their own tools?

It is not common in some countries in the EU for workers to have their own tools. Tools will usually be provided by the employer. We recommend that you should not expect tools, although it is not a general condition.

How much should I pay the workers?

By law, you should pay them the same as you would pay a British person of similar experience and skill, doing the same job. Generally, the expectations of other EU workers are not high, especially in relation to the quality of work performed.

What if I decide to take a temporary worker for a permanent position?

A Client who uses our employment business services can decide to employ a temporary worker at any time. In this case, the Client should inform us and:

pay the introduction fee as for the standard recruitment service and employ the temporary worker; in general, the transfer fee is equal to the standard introduction fee. (see Terms of Business)
or use the Employment Business Service for the next 26 weeks; after that the Client can employ the temporary worker without an introduction fee.

Case Studies

We have asked some of our clients and their candidates to supply us with Testimonials on how they feel their placement went.

Client's views

We had been looking for a CAD technician for a long time and had really struggled with local advertising. We used 1 agency who provided us with a candidate but he left three months down the line, leaving us with a big bill to pay and no staff.

We had been contacted by Jark Europe four or so months earlier, so we decided to call them to see if they could help. They took great care in selecting candidates for our needs and after a few telephone interviews with Krystian we had offered him a position subject to a trial, Krystian was very happy and fitted in with all the other staff easily. And as Jark Europe have a flexible payment plan we are more secure and protected.

We know have the capacity to take on extra work and meet our deadlines more effectively.

Candidate's views

In my opinion your service was absolutely brilliant. Very professional, very fast in activity and an enthusiastic and dynamic team which helped me find an interesting job in my professional career. I'm very happy that I made contact with your professional team. It was a pleasure for me.

I think that from that moment my ''career dream'' became a reality.

The excellent point in your service is that you care long term about your client and candidate, even when the placement is complete. It's really exceptional!

I like my job very much because all the time I have chance to create – new constructions, buildings and structures. It's a very interesting job, creativity and unlimited possibility to developing in this profession. At this moment I invest my time to learn new things (programs, skills), and I hope it gives me excellent results in the future.

I would like to thank and recommend your Polish consultants they were really fantastic people, i was always very pleased from talking with them. They know how to get the best results and get the success. They are optimistic, talented and friendly people and I think that their skills are very important for this company. Also thanks and recommendation for the UK Consultants too, They worked very closely to form a strong unit and I am thankful to them.

I'm very happy that I worked with them and I'm really thankful for their help in developing my career.

RM Fabrications

We were looking to recruit Fabricator Welders and had tried using other agencies but found that they were unable to find candidates who could fabricate and weld,also they could not help with common problems encountered when recruiting from Europe, they were unable to assist with the relocation, transport and accommodation process, it also seemed that i was not assigned one consultant and would have to deal with a number of different staff.

I now have four staff working for me from Jark Europe, they vary in nationality from British to European and this has helped us enormously buy creating a more equal staff nationality balance. Now we have the extra staff we have been able to replace staff that have left and the recent newcomers are enabling us to take advantage of expanding production and workspace. I have been very pleased with the standard of candidates offered and the level of assistance provided by Jark Europe both to ourselves and our workers employed through them. Jark Europe have been willing to adapt to accommodate the peculiarities of our pay scale structure and to the transfer of staff from them to our employment after our specified period. I am pleased to recommend them as an employment agency.
