How we fill it
Trade tested, paperwork handled, fixed fee
1. The test
Technical interview with the employer and your qualifications checked with the awarding body. In Johannesburg, Manila or a partner centre, before anyone travels. You get the score sheet.
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.

Tell us your trade and we will tell you what we have
Five fields, under a minute. A recruiter reads every one. You never pay us anything, at any stage, and we will say plainly if we have nothing for you.
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.
