career moves group Gives Young People A Head Start
14 Nov 2011
career moves group is delighted to announce that the 16 to 19-year-olds it has been mentoring have successfully completed work placements in BBC Worldwide, BP, Imperial College Business School, Lloyds Banking Group and Prudential and a number of other reputable employers.
career moves group employees act as career advisors to pupils at Queens Park Community School in Brent through an organisation called Career Academies UK. Career Academies UK supports a movement of over 900 employers, and over 120 schools and colleges to raise the aspirations of 16 to 19-year-olds.
On a monthly basis, consultants from career moves group visit Queens Park Community School and provide advice to students on how to write CVs and apply for work placements. They also prepare them for interviews, giving coaching on what to wear and what (and what not) to say.
After their placements, the enthusiastic pupils meet again with their career moves group mentors to provide feedback on their internships. One mentee, Senali, who did a human resources internship at Prudential, is now planning a career in HR. Her internship was the first thing she mentioned in her personal statement on her UCAS form. Without career moves group’s mentoring she didn’t think she would have had the confidence to attend a work placement interview let alone complete a placement, she said.
Sheryll Karpel, a director of career moves group and chair of Queens Park Community School’s Career Academies advisory board says: “We are delighted to be able to work with these keen and talented 16 to 19-year-olds. Preparing them for their work placements is very rewarding and we have watched them blossom into confident articulate individuals. Prior to giving them advice during out employability sessions, many of the mentees were shy and reluctant to discuss their aspirations. Gaining experience in busy work environments — as they were able to — is key to helping them understand how companies function. We are proud to be able to help them arrive at this goal.”

pr moves networking breakfast goes down a treat...
16 Aug 2011
- Top industry professionals discuss brand identity during breakfast seminar -
At the Hospital Club on Wednesday the 3rd August, the Head of PR for Hearst Magazines UK - Jane Wynyard - gave a presentation on the leading media company’s brand activity.
The event, organized by specialist recruitment consultancy pr moves, saw senior PR professionals turn up in their droves as they looked to get an insight into the revitalized offering from Hearst Magazines UK.
With a portfolio comprising 46 properties across digital and print, it’s a hugely diverse company, and the impressive Jane proceeded to guide the audience through them, showing how they differentiate between the corporate brand and the individual properties.
The focus was on two of Hearst Magazines’ most successful campaigns to date, ‘100 Years of the National Magazine Company’ and ‘30 Days of Fashion and Beauty’. From a ‘cover mosaic’ at the Saatchi Gallery, to comments from the Prime Minister, all of the PR coups were there.
There was also a run-through of the ideals that drive Britain’s leading magazine company. With bees on the balcony and grass on the roof, Jane talked through how the company is growing ever-more-green. There were also lovely little anecdotes about the history of the titles, with Good Housekeeping’s government backing during the war and after watching the hilarious ‘Bond inspired’ 1972 launch advert for Cosmopolitan, it will be interesting to see how they launch the magazine in Singapore next month.
Head of pr moves Eleanor Karadimitriadis says: “Apart from having more people than seats, pr move’s breakfast event was a tremendous success. We have had the feedback we’d hoped for, with many commenting on how engaging Jane’s talk was. We’ve also had entirely unexpected feedback, with the networking event leading to some attendees striking new business partnerships. We are looking forward to the next one!”
pr moves will be running more events such as this one over the next year, so keep an eye on the website for the latest information.

Questions from attendees flamed the air as Helen pointed out that contrary to some media coverage which claimed that temps will receive the same employment rights as permanent employees, they will not.
The new rights that temps will receive can be split into 3 main categories:
1.From day one of a temporary assignment:
(a) a right to be treated no less favourably than a comparable employee of the hirer in relation to access to collective facilities and amenities such as canteen facilities, child care facilities and transport services.
(b) a right to be informed by the hirer of any relevant vacant posts within the hirer and to be given the same opportunity as comparable employees to find permanent employment with the hirer.
2. After completion of a 12 week qualifying period on assignment (and such qualifying period is specifically defined by the Regulations):
(a) a right to be paid the same “pay” (as defined by the Regulations); and
(b) a right to have the same periods or amounts of working time, night work, rest, breaks and annual leave; as the worker would have received had they been directly recruited into the job by the hirer.
3. After completion of a 12 week qualifying period on assignment, an agency worker who is pregnant will have the right to paid time off for ante-natal care; and special additional rights if her assignment is ended prematurely on maternity grounds.
Are freelancers protected by the Agency Workers Regulations 2010?
The status of and application of the Regulations to freelance workers sparked more questions. Are they excluded?
The answer is dependent on the hirer’s definition of the word “freelancer”. However if the freelancer is a company or individual engaged on a contract for services directly by the hirer, they are unlikely to be subject to the protection of the Regulations.
If they are supplied via an agency and cannot be described as under the supervision and direction of the hirer and can be classified in law as genuinely self employed, then they are unlikely to be subject to the protection of the Regulations, although as discussed at our breakfast, this is a difficult test to meet.
Why use an agency if we need to provide all these extra benefits?
Another attendee questioned using an agency if it meant their company having to provide extra benefits, would it not be easier to hire directly? There is no easy answer to this question. Arguably temps will want these forms of protection and will favour going through an agency. Temps also provide a level of workforce flexibility that is more difficult to achieve if hiring directly.
A debate then ensued throughout the room about the practicalities of agencies and clients working together in light of the Regulations.
In an ideal world, agencies and clients will work with the Regulations and co-operate more closely with regard to information exchange to ensure that the rights created by them are correctly provided to agency workers. But other options are available.
Helen believes that some clients will favour limiting temporary assignments to 12 weeks duration and there will be an increase in clients wishing to hire the temp directly either on a fixed term basis or in a permanent role when the 12 weeks is up.
One attendee believed that agencies will try the “Swedish derogation”, a structure by which agency workers are employed by their agency on specific terms between assignments, which exempt the worker from enjoying the right to equal pay after 12 weeks on assignment, but does not exempt the worker from other rights provided by the Regulations.
Can a temp claim to be working for a continuous stretch of time if he/she works for different companies within a group of associated companies?
A HR Director asked what would happen if a temp moved from one company to another within a group of associated companies, would their time be a collective and thus entitle them to a temp rights after a continuous 12 week period within the group?
The answer was no as the companies themselves are seen as individual employers. However, if it was the case that the worker was deliberately moved within the group in order to avoid the effect of the Regulations, it was noted that the Regulations specifically address this. Such avoidance tactics can result in the hirer becoming liable in Employment Tribunal proceedings, if such proceedings are issued by the worker, for a punitive award of up to £5,000.

Changes Announced for 2012 Tax Budget
25 Mar 2011
For the Tax year 2011/2012, effective 6th April 2011, there are two items that will have a direct impact on temping pay and charge rates. For the temps, the net effect in their pay will most likely be positive as the NI free element of their weekly pay has gone up from £110 to £139, although their Employee’s NI has also increased from 11.8% to 12%, a 0.2% increase. For clients, there is a straight forward increase in charge rate as Employer’s NI is due to increase by 1% from 12.8% to 13.8% and we unfortunately have to pass on this increase.
