InterXchange is a service from Xchangeteam to help skilled, English-speaking consultants from overseas with no previous UK experience find their ideal permanent role in the UK. The InterXchange programme will initially provide you with a two week freelance assignment to build your UK experience which in turn will help you find that elusive permanent role.

InterXchange is for consultants with a minimum of two years experience from markets other than the UK in all of our sectors: communications and PR, marketing, events, design, advertising, media, digital and editorial. We only accept the best but if you become a ‘member’ of InterXchange, we will aim to put you on a two-week paid placement at a relevant agency, corporate, charity or public sector organisation. This time will give you an opportunity to demonstrate your value, and potentially earn a permanent role at the ‘going rate’ in a UK market, where contacts and market experience are key.

Why InterXchange?

A severe skills shortage has been reported across the board in marketing and creative services, especially at mid-management level. There are a huge number of talented overseas consultants that arrive in the UK who could dramatically reduce this shortage, yet they aren’t being utilised by organisations in the UK.

Anecdotal evidence and empirical research carried out by Xchangeteam has shown that overseas consultants struggle to get work when they first arrive in the UK. According to our survey of these consultants, 60% said they struggled to get work initially as employers cited a lack of UK contacts and/or experience and 40% said recruiters wouldn’t put them forward for suitable opportunities.
