£1000 cash back offered to recruiting employers

Jobcentre Plus is offering £1000 to employers for every eligible person that they recruit, who has been claiming Jobseeker’s Allowance for six months or more.

Eligible candidates looking for work will want employers to notice their potential and may refer to the £1000 in their letter of application, as part of their CV, on application forms, or during the recruitment process.

For employers, the process for making a claim is quick and easy on the Jobcentre Plus website.

In-work training, worth up to £1,500, may also be available through Jobcentre Plus partners to help employers get the most from their new recruits and their current employees.
