What a licence means
Licensed, checked, on the list
The Home Office lists Union Direct Ltd because it applied, was checked and continues to meet its sponsor duties. Whether a given job qualifies still depends on the role and the pay under the current rules.
How to approach them
Make the certificate easy
The employer assigns the certificate; you supply what it needs. Certificates, references, your English level and a clear licence position, all ready, is what makes Union Direct Ltd say yes to the sponsored candidate over the unsponsored one.
