What they do

Licensed sponsors in Leeds, by industry

Within reach

Sponsors in the towns around Leeds

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

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.

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.

For employers in Leeds

Tell us how many engineers you need and when

A recruiter rings you back within one working day with candidates we already have trade tested, the sponsorship timeline as it stands, and a fixed fee. No retainer, nothing charged to the candidate, and nothing to sign until you have seen people.

How it works first

For candidates

What you need to work here

  • A confirmed job offer from a UK employer that holds a Home Office sponsor licence. The employers in this directory all hold one.
  • A Certificate of Sponsorship from that employer describing the role.
  • A job on the Home Office list of eligible occupations, paid at least the minimum salary for that role and route.

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.

Settling in LeedsThe 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.
