We let our real time results do the talking and show you why, with Azrek on your side, you gain a global reach without needing the associated resources that scare employers.

Ian Jones – CEO Azrek Global – 2022

A brief introduction

Our unique hybrid recruitment model was founded and set up by two experienced professionals. One has 30 years’ experience in global recruitment of highly skilled specialist workforces and the other with similar experience operating several companies. Aside from having extensive and varied legal experience, he has proven expertise in UK immigration.

Over the last decade we have seen the market for skilled workers tighten for UK industry and businesses. These companies have already struggled to find skilled or trained staff to fill vacancies in the UK. Britain’s exit from the EU and the Covid pandemic exacerbated this problem and created an even more pressing need in the UK market.

Over the years we have assisted hundreds of companies desperate for help, which led us to an obvious yet niche solution.

We have developed a one-stop solution that provides an end-to-end solution for UK businesses and industry since traditional UK recruitment companies and agencies do not have the patience, cashflow, or appetite to get involved in overseas recruitment.

Our model

As a “one-stop” immigration and recruitment agency, we provide highly skilled and experienced migrant workers.

We offer a hybrid, tailored recruitment model: namely, finding, acquiring, and placing permanent employees who meet UKVI’s immigration criteria and requirements anywhere in the world. In this area of overseas recruitment and delivery, not just in theory, but also in actual practice, we have an unparalleled understanding.

Through our partnership with you, we will provide you with valuable, meaningful, productive, and seamless service. This will allow your resources to focus on their primary roles and objectives while we handle tasks that are beyond their scope.

Sourcing

We understand and know how to find quality candidates from all over the world, via our own Global talent pools and active bespoke campaigns.

We would also ensure that candidates are fully prepared with all necessary visa requirements and related documentation to be successfully granted a UK skilled worker visa on application.
