The Company

Workforce have a clearly defined mission – to solve skill shortages in the UK.

We have spent the past 15 years delivering highly innovative solutions for our clients, relocating over 30,000 skilled workers from overseas in this time. We work across many sectors of the economy, including Health and Social Care, Hospitality, Manufacturing and Digital.

Last year, we launched our unique Overseas Talent Solution into the market which has proved incredibly successful and we are now looking to rapidly scale this offering to maintain Workforce’s market leading position.

We have a diverse, multi-lingual team with vast experience of relocating professionals, and their families, from around the world using our ‘Recruit, Relocate, Retain’ business model. Finding the right talent for the job has always been, and will continue to be, at the heart of what we do.
