They seem to be legitimate. Their web site is here.

Id be interested to know if anyone has used this company as my husband also got an e-mail after visiting the edinburgh expo to say he was down to the last 500 people that they wanted to take forward.

We are fortunate to be visiting friends in Brisbane in June who live 5 mins from their office so my husband is going to pop in and see them anyway even if he is not selected for interview after sending his paperwork.

Whats your trade Pirate? My hubby is a plant mechanic by trade.

Not sure of their fees but I think they take a percentage of your wage for a period of time. Just like another company we looked at when we were at the beginning of the moving over process. For the life of me I can't remember their name...Freedom / spirit something. I'll see if I can find out their name.

Hi Pirate Willy,

My husband (Steve) has today received an URGENT e-mail from Workforce Solutions. He did not receive an e-mail in the beginning like you did though, today is the first he has heard from them. Apparently they were experiencing some server problems!

Our circumstances are slightly different though as Steve is an Australian Citizen but has lived in the UK for 34 years. This was clearly stated on his Resume but still they have asked him to complete the registration form re the Visa and supply a further Resume. He has had a good read about them on their website and they seem quite ligitimate although we do not understand why they would have fees or take a percentage of your wage! (as Dolly has said) What does this mean?

Have you responded to them yet? We are of the opinion that there is nothing to lose by sending them a response and seeing what happens.

All rather confusing really

Regards

Kare & Steve
