Looking to fill vacancies fast?

Jobcentre Plus has thousands of quality candidates - and will help you to find the right one with a comprehensive package of advice and 'paper-shifting' support.

We know that recruitment and staff development remain a significant challenge for business owners. That's why we're backing JobsCentre Plus' campaign to tell you about the free recruitment service they offer.

Did you know that JobsCentre Plus will help you to find the right candidates and help with the whole recruitment process?

Way to Work is a new partnership between government and employers, focusing on getting 500,000 jobseekers into work by the end of June 2022. We want to help employers fill their roles with the JobCentre's job-ready candidates.

If you’re looking to fill a vacancy, JobsCentre Plus offers you a named employment adviser in your local Jobcentre to support you, or a dedicated national account manager if you’re a national employer.

They have a range of recruitment services to help you including:

• Opportunities to be introduced to people looking for work, including recruitment days, jobs fairs and other events

• Working closely with you to simplify and shorten the recruitment process

• Help setting up work trials, so you can see what potential candidates have to offer

• Advice about work experience and apprenticeships

• Support from other employment schemes including Sector-based Work Academy Programmes and business mentoring

• Support if you employ someone with a disability (Access to Work)

• Advice and guidance on employing someone with a disability or health condition.
