A clear starting point for employers and HR teams on UK work sponsorship, built only on officially published GOV.UK rules. VisaBuddy gives your candidates accurate information; it never files a licence or gives advice, so you stay on the right side of the line.
Sponsoring an overseas hire usually means the Skilled Worker route, a sponsor licence, and a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), plus statutory right-to-work checks and the English language requirement. The salary and occupation rules change often. VisaBuddy helps your candidates see exactly what the current published rules require for their situation; the regulated steps (applying for the licence, assigning a CoS) stay with you and your advisers.
