FOR EMPLOYERS

There are FOUR WAYS to work with us. The first one costs an hour.

We support people who are trying to get back to the level of work they were doing before they came here. Every one of them will eventually be sitting opposite someone like you. This page is about what you can do about that, starting small.

WHY THIS PAGE EXCISTS

Talent is not the problem. Access is.

The people on our programmes have degrees, professional qualifications and years of experience. Teachers, engineers, accountants, doctors, project managers. A lot of them are currently working in warehouses and care homes.

That gap is not about ability or effort. It is about knowing how British hiring actually works, having someone in the room who can vouch for you, and having a qualification that an employer recognises. Three things that are almost impossible to build from the outside.

You are on the inside of all three. That is why we are asking.

THE FOUR WAYS

Our four ways

Each one asks a bit more than the last. Start at the top.

Most employers begin with an hour and stop there, and that is completely fine. Some carry on. Nothing here is a package and you are not signing up to a sequence.

01

Run a Q&A with our members

One hour online. You explain how hiring works at your company, what gets someone to interview and what gets them rejected, then answer questions. No slides, no preparation, no travel.

How the hour works

COSTS YOU

One Hour

MONEY

None

02

Post a role with us

Send us a vacancy and we put it in front of people who match it. You get applicants with international experience who are not on the usual job boards and not represented by agencies.

Send us a role

COSTS YOU

Ten minutes

MONEY

None

03

Fund a place on a programme

Pay for one person to go through our career programme. You meet the group, you see how they work over several weeks, and you can hire from it. Cheaper than an agency fee and you are backing someone who would not otherwise get the place.

What funding a place involves

COSTS YOU

One decision

MONEY

Ask us a current rate

04

Partner with us for a year

A named partnership across everything we do. Your people involved in sessions, your roles going out regularly, your name on the programme, and something concrete for your inclusion reporting that is not a policy document.

What a year looks like

COSTS YOU

A conversation first

MONEY

Agreed case by case

One thing worth saying out loud

We are not asking anyone to hire out of sympathy. That helps nobody and it does not last. What we are asking is that people get looked at properly, by someone who understands that fifteen years of experience does not stop counting at the border. If the person is not right for the job, say so. We would rather hear that than a polite maybe.

WHO YOU WOULD BE MEETING

People who were mid-career somewhere else and are starting again here.

Qualified

Degrees and professional experience from other countries, often in shortage areas. Many are working through UK recognition of their qualifications.

Working below their level

Not because that was the plan. Because it was the only door that opened when they arrived and nothing has opened since.

Already putting the work in

Everyone you meet through us is on one of our programmes. They turn up, they prepare, and they follow up. We do not send people who are not ready.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU

 

Honesty about your sector

If your industry is not hiring, say that. Knowing where the doors are shut saves people months.

 

A proper look at the application

Not a favour. Just the same attention you would give anyone else, without stopping at the unfamiliar company names.

 

A reply either way

Silence is the hardest part of job hunting. A clear no is worth more than a maybe that never comes back.

 

 

 

WHAT WE NEVER ASK

A promise to hire anyone

None of the four options come with a hiring commitment attached.

 

A donation dressed up as something else

Options one and two are free and stay free. When we ask for money, we say so plainly.

 

Your logo on our site in exchange for nothing

If you partner with us, it is because something real is happening, not because it looks good on a page.

START HERE

Not sure which one fits? Just say what you do.

Tell us your sector and roughly what you have capacity for. We will suggest the option that makes sense and you can say no to it.
