I can confirm the post from AH. VR offered, initially to the top 500 with options for all others with renumeration based upon length of time with the company.
Also unpaid leave of up-to 12 months has been offered to all and sundry with the company considering unpaid leave for any duration starting at a week.
Sorry but I think it will be a long time before the recruitment monster heaves another breath.
Good luck.
edit:
Not sure there is a 'legal' delay after voluntary redundancies. As these are exactly what it says on the tin, voluntary. Compulsory redundancies carry all sorts of legal recruiting ramifications though.
