Pure Recruitment's guide for tax and legal professionals considering a move to the UK

Offering an exciting array of professional opportunities and scope for travel pursuits while retaining the ability to live and work in one of the worlds most vibrant Capitals, a move to London will enhance your experience above and beyond your CV.
Information on London temporary and contract market
Newly arrived overseas candidates often receive conflicting advice in relation to the prospects associated with particular job opportunities when they first arrive. In our experience, overseas candidates looking to maximise their earnings potential benefit from initially seeking a temporary assignment within either practice or a commercial environment for a duration of between three and six months. The advantages of an initial or ongoing interim (temporary or contract) role are:
1. Exposure to UK legislation, regimes, systems and working environment;
2. Maintain flexibility to travel, sightsee and experience London life;
3. Gear your CV towards a Highly Skilled Migrant Visa application;
4. Acquire necessary UK experience with a view to seeking permanent employment;
5. Enjoy the financial benefit of interim work.
How much money can I expect to make?
Remuneration is very much dependant on experience, your country of origin, specialisation and the market you wish to enter. Newly arrived candidates typically enjoy a respectable market rate and with current interim market buoyancy receive an hourly rate or package that is comparable with their UK contemporaries.
What type of job can I typically expect to secure?
By virtue of a UK candidate shortage, overseas candidates working in the interim market are at a significant advantage with respect to their ability to gain positions in practice or the commercial sector. Placing an overseas candidate without UK experience may provide slightly more challenging in certain instances however any issue which may arise are surmountable and to circumvent many of the hurdles associated with placing newly arrived overseas candidates, Pure has developed a team of Australian Consultants who specialise in assisting Antipodean candidates entering the London market.
