UK Government’s Skilled Workers VISA Programme

The key to employing staff from abroad is compliance with the UK Government’s Skilled Workers Visa Programme. We are experts in supporting clients through every step of this process from the visa application through to the appointment of the chosen candidate. The paperwork required is managed by our highly experienced Immigration Consultant and to date we have secured a 100% client success rate.

A Step-By-Step Approach

Our focus is on making the process of recruiting staff, of the right calibre, straightforward for clients. Fundamentally that means advising clients on how to best present the roles they require to fill, sourcing the candidates with the necessary skills and experience and managing the Skilled Worker Programme paperwork.

Typically, our role involves –

  • Meeting with the client to define their recruitment needs, draw up a person specification and classify the position(s) to be filled in line with the categories permitted under the Skilled Workers Programme (a very wide and comprehensive range of roles are permissible) 
  • Supporting the client in their application to the UK Home Office for a Skilled Worker Visa  
  • Promoting the client’s position(s) through our network of Indian Nationals, inviting them to submit their CV for consideration. 
  • Sifting through the CVs received, drawing up a proposed list for interview and verifying credentials.  This information is then provided to the client    
  • Thoroughly implementing a Pre-Employment Screening Process to verify the credentials of the successful candidate(s) 
  • Assisting the client in crafting the Job Offer in line with the Skilled Worker Programme requirements.  Once the position has been accepted, this includes issuing the successful candidate with a Certificate of Sponsorship which they will then use to apply for a personal Visa. 
  • Concluding the recruitment process when the successful candidate receives their Visa
