Irvine Bailey meticulously screen all candidates, thoroughly verifying their qualifications and references before introducing them to clients to ensure both would make a good fit. Here’s what you can expect from our process:

References:  We believe in getting to know our candidates well, which is why we ask for at least three years of experience along with checkable references.

Face-to-Face Meeting:  We invite all candidates for a face-to-face meeting. During this friendly interview, we’ll verify their identity and working rights, review their documentation, and take the time to understand their skills, experiences, and what they’re looking for in a job.

Documentation Required:

• Photo ID:  A valid passport or driving license
 • Identity Documentation: An in-date passport, driving license, birth certificate, NI number, etc.
 • Proof of Eligibility to work in the UK if seeking a position here
 • Explanation for any employment gaps
 • Original Certificates: to verify your qualifications
 • DBS Certificate: An up-to-date document
 • First Aid Certificate (for those working with children)

Question 2

What are the employers obligations?

Accepted Answer

Becoming an employer for the first time can feel overwhelming, and that’s completely understandable! Navigating the tax system and understanding your responsibilities and legal obligations can be time-consuming and complex.

Irvine Bailey recommend using Stafftax (https://www.stafftax.co.uk/stafftax-payroll-service?utm_term=stafftax&utm_campaign=Staff+Tax+-+National+-+Search+-+Exact+%26+Phrase&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=7288355368&hsa_cam=12642923243&hsa_grp=182572421931&hsa_ad=740717226163&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-317571010256&hsa_kw=stafftax&hsa_mt=b&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22361197560&gbraid=0AAAAA_HR4G6Hp-Hk1gNxN__sSBt2NZh3B&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0LDBBhCnARIsAMpYlApCqzIbr57Vg9uMMVKTj3I1OZWLkgWG101blrVgs9NZJDyf7vW9ht0aAqeYEALw_wcB)or Nannytax,(https://www.nannytax.co.uk/nanny-payroll-hr-service?gclid=CjwKCAjwzeqVBhAoEiwAOrEmzZTR8nx9UPAUckJyLqpeUEikZPzCvZZa4uKxx81s3mTViCALmbqJwRoCIZgQAvD_BwE) two wonderful specialist payroll providers, to help manage your payroll needs. They both charge an annual fee for their services, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience for you.

Each month, Stafftax and Nannytax will provide a detailed payslip for your employee, showing the net amount that will be deposited into their bank account after tax, pension contributions, and student loan deductions have been taken care of.

Additionally, as an employer, you can relax knowing that both your and your employee's tax, pension, and other obligations will be handled in a convenient monthly payment to HMRC.

Question 3

Curious about our fees?

Accepted Answer

For our permanent placements, we charge a percentage of the candidate’s gross annual salary. This fee is payable once an offer of employment is made by you and joyfully accepted by the candidate.

When it comes to temporary placements, we simply charge a weekly fee, making it easy and straightforward for you!

Question 4

By law, an employer is required to give any employee the statutory minimum of 28 days holiday (including 8 days of bank holiday) per annum in the UK.
