We guide candidates to produce a detailed Professional Development Profile for employers to see. Content includes equivalence of overseas qualifications to UK Degrees and Masters, Graduate Membership of UK Professional Body, overseas Professional Memberships, visual examples of previous work demonstrating International Standards & Codes used (for example, British, American, Canadian), career responsibilities and achievements and career aims in the UK.

We help employers create a role description for a 3 to 6 month paid Returner Placement. By creating a meaningful Returner role employers can bring skilled people into their organisation and transition them into future roles as a result.

In liaison with employers and candidates, we carefully and fairly match the placement role description with candidates, to create a shortlist for competency-based interview.

We can provide sensitive professional development input for managers, including inclusive and fair interview techniques that get the best out of candidates.

We co-arrange interviews, including careful briefing and practice for candidates.

If a candidate is selected after interview, we provide a documented setup process with straightforward, clear, steps including mutual objectives, flexible work plan, reflective learning journal and monthly joint review meetings.

There is no obligation to continue the employment contract after the placement (though 70% of placementees are retained). In the last 6 weeks of the placement, the employer uses the placement assessment records and their business hiring processes to consider future job opportunities for the candidate to apply for, in liaison with Transitions and the candidate.
