Who it’s for / Recruitment
Don’t lose the best candidates to a visa question
A sponsor licence opens your roles to talent you couldn’t otherwise hire. Borderless checks early whether a role can be sponsored, so an offer doesn’t fall through on a salary threshold or an occupation code, then sends the offer from one place and keeps you and the candidate updated until the visa decision.

Where hires stall
Where sponsored hires fall through
Most delays start before the certificate, when the role and salary haven’t been checked.
Eligibility
Roles that no longer qualify
Since 22 July 2025, most new Skilled Worker roles need to be at degree level, and some roles can only be sponsored for people already in the UK.
Salary
Offers below the threshold
The general salary threshold is £41,700, or the going rate for the occupation code if that’s higher.
Visibility
Candidates left guessing
Without a shared timeline, candidates chase recruiters for updates and start dates slip.
Fewer surprises between offer and start date
The checks happen early, and everyone follows the same timeline.
01
Role checks before the offer
Your adviser checks the occupation code, salary and route before you commit to an offer.
02
Find the right occupation code
Smart search helps you find the SOC code that matches the job description.
03
Offers sent from one place
Send the offer in Borderless, save it as you go, and the details flow into the certificate and the application.
04
A portal for every candidate
Candidates upload their documents and follow each step of their visa application from their own login.
05
Expected dates on the timeline
See when each stage should complete, so start dates are planned, not guessed.
06
CoS requests tracked
Track each Certificate of Sponsorship request, including priority requests, until it’s decided.

dollars raised by Jack & Jill in its seed round. With the pick of any provider, the team chose Borderless to get its sponsor licence in place before post-funding hiring began.

“As we scaled post-funding, we needed to move fast without introducing risk. Borderless helped us get sponsorship right from the start and set us up to hire internationally with confidence.”
Questions we’re often asked
Can you tell us before we offer whether a role can be sponsored?
Yes. Your adviser checks the role, occupation code and salary against the current rules before the offer goes out.
What does the candidate see?
Their own portal, where they upload documents and follow each step of their application.
Can we still sponsor care workers from overseas?
No. New applications from overseas for care worker and senior care worker roles closed on 22 July 2025. Roles such as registered nurses can still be sponsored.
How long does a visa take?
It depends on the route and Home Office processing times. Expected dates on the timeline show when each stage should complete.
