“ TRAINING AND RECRUITMENT This means recommending a client based on the strength of their CV and telephone demeanour Taking business overseas: Henrik's top tips The support you need depends on the size of your company but even with a large company in your home country you find yourself acting as a startup elsewhere, I would say to get some support from a local organisation advising you on admin changes and legal issues in the marketplace you are entering. Realise that the UK is more localised, people tend to work, shop and live in the same town so that means you need to think about where your clients are and develop the base accordingly. In the UK people don't expect to travel for services as they sometimes would on the continent. Focus on the business development and what you want to achieve and worry about the admin systems and office development as you go on. salary for the time they are seeking work as well as covering NI and sick pay. This means that the recruitment company always have a choice of suitable candidates to recommend to a client. Temporary and contract workers also make up 90% of Uniflex's turnover. The process is also very different as recruitment companies in Sweden often meet prospective employees face to face before recommending on to clients. Due to the competition in the UK market however this is not always possible and it's a case of racing against time restrictions to get the best CV to the recruiting company ahead of the many competitors to win the job. This means recommending a client based on the strength of their CV and telephone demeanour and then meeting them briefly when the interview has been scheduled. Back home in Sweden Uniflex is moving into new territory by making waves in the hospitality, building and catering sector, Henrik explains “until recently these sectors had very strong unions so we have focused on getting very good in one area and are now more able to offer these services, the way it's working here in the UK now will be how's it works in Sweden in 20 years”. Uniflex is a member of the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and is dedicated to providing efficient staffing solutions to Manchester businesses. www.uniflexgroup.co.uk ” http://www.uniflexgroup.co.uk
