International recruitment

The request was successful.

Dear Liverpool City Council,

The question is around international recruitment. Now that we have
a temporary immigration cap to the UK,organisations have to apply
to the Home Office to get an allocation of how many people the
organisation can recruit from outside the European Economic
Area(EEA) in a given time period. I have two questions on this
subject:

Does your organisation have such an allocation and if so how many
people are you allowed to hire from outside of the EEA? What is the
start and end date for the time period which this allocation
covers?

How much of your allocation have you used? Can you give me a
breakdown of the types of staff that you have hired in the last 12
months from abroad, what countries they have
originated from and their current job title.

Yours faithfully,

Andy Leary
