I’m looking to recruit more staff, what are the benefits of taking on someone who has been made redundant?
A. To help make your next recruitment decision an easy one, Jobcentre Plus is offering £1000 for every eligible person that you recruit, who has been claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance for 6 months or more. The amount of people applying for work is higher than ever, making it extremely difficult for people who have been unemployed for over 6 months to find work, despite their impressive CV’s and experience. Thousands of eligible candidates looking for work want you to notice their potential and may refer to the £1000 in their letter of application, as part of their CV, on your application forms, or during your recruitment process. The package from Jobcentre Plus can also allow you to receive up to £1,500 worth of in-house training for your new recruit. The process for claiming is simple. Visit the Jobcentre Plus website for advice on making a claim, for either less or more than 12 people per year.
