What they do

Licensed sponsors in Belfast, by industry

Within reach

Sponsors in the towns around Belfast

A driver or a fitter will travel for the right job, so these count too. The number is licensed sponsors in that town.

How we fill it

Trade tested, paperwork handled, fixed fee

1. The test

Setting and running a part from a drawing, assessed on the finished piece. In Johannesburg, Manila or a partner centre, before anyone travels. You get the score sheet.

How the test is run

2. The paperwork

Certificate of Sponsorship, visa application, right to work checks, with you at every step. No licence yet? We walk you through the application.

3. The landing

Flights, accommodation, NI number, bank account and phone sorted, and someone checking in with them after they start, so they stay.

4. The fee

A fixed fee per placement, invoiced when they start. No retainer, no startup fee, and nothing is ever charged to the candidate.

After they land

What we give the person you hire

Free, and not conditional on anything. A placement that fails usually fails in the first month, and it is rarely about the work.

Settling in BelfastThe paperwork in order, the official finders for a doctor and a National Insurance number, and the local shops, places of worship and clubs other workers there have added.Their rights at work, in writingWe tell every candidate exactly what they are owed and who enforces it. An employer with nothing to hide gains from that.Free practice testsEnglish and the rules of the road, so a driver arrives knowing which side and which limits, not learning them on your insurance.
