Employing someone from the US in the UK

[ViperPict]

Do any employers here have advice on the realities in terms of work permits/ visas etc of employing someone from the US in the UK? I've found someone very good I'd like to employ (after looking very hard for an appropriate person in the UK) but not sure of the complications that might be involved. It would be in the civil engineering/ environmental sector.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the useful advice folks. I'll set the ball rolling and get an ad out in the UK (again) first.

Cheers.
