Found The Right Candidate But Need To Sponsor Them? The Sponsor Licence Process Explained

Could sponsorship help you secure the right person?

If you have found a mechanical engineer with the design experience your projects require, or an accountant with relevant experience in your clients’ sector, it makes sense to check whether you can sponsor them before restarting recruitment.

The decision becomes clearer once you know whether the role qualifies, what sponsorship will cost and when the person could start. If you obtain a sponsor licence, you can also use it for further eligible hires within its scope. Inpidual sponsorship and visa costs will still apply.

Our advice: assess the specific appointment first. The candidate’s current visa, proposed duties, salary and working hours will help establish what is needed—and whether the timetable fits your recruitment plans.
