• Niche recruitment consultancy MERJE has relocated its Greater Manchester-based headquarters to a purpose-built office complex in Whitefield, North Manchester.

The company – which specialises in permanent and contract appointments in compliance, credit risk & analytics, customer contact, finance & audit, financial crime & fraud, procurement and risk management – aims to provide a stylish and modern environment at Bank House, which has been designed and developed in collaboration with local suppliers. 

• Short-term recruitment specialist RedWigWam has partnered with facial recognition software developer Facebanx on technology that will help with ‘right to work’ checks and digital identification.

RedWigWam will use Facebanx’s software to change the way employers verify workers. The technology allows an applicant’s ‘right to work’ to be proved via live-streaming their face and showing documents to the camera, thereby eliminating the need for a face-to-face meeting.
