Hire on skill, without learning immigration law
Your People team shouldn’t have to become immigration experts to make a sponsored hire. Borderless does the checking, chasing and drafting, and an IAA-regulated adviser reviews the work.
Hire
Skilled Worker hires, start to finish
Sponsor licence, Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) and visa application, with every document checked before it reaches the Home Office and a live timeline for each hire.
Switch
Graduate visas, switched in time
A Graduate visa applied for from 1 January 2027 lasts 18 months, not two years. We track every end date and check each switch to Skilled Worker well ahead.
Sync
Your HR system, connected
HiBob and Sona bring worker records in, so your sponsorship record matches HR.
Hybrid
Remote and hybrid working, on record
A move to hybrid working doesn’t need reporting. A new main office or a fully remote contract does. We keep the record and flag the change.
Protect
Duties handled as you grow
Every reportable change gets its deadline and an owner, and every file is checked against Appendix D.
Proof
From no licence to hiring worldwide
Wondercraft, a 15-person AI studio, had no sponsor licence. It now sponsors software engineers and designers, and hires on fit and skill, not passport.

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.
Jack & Jill · AI recruitment
“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 a Graduate visa holder switch to Skilled Worker with us?
Yes, if the role is eligible and they meet the salary and other requirements. They may qualify for the lower new entrant salary rate. Graduate visas applied for from 1 January 2027 last 18 months instead of two years, so we track end dates and start each switch early.
Which tech roles can we sponsor?
Most software, IT and cyber security professional roles are listed as higher skilled, as long as the salary meets the going rate and the general threshold. Some technician roles, such as IT support technicians and data analysts, rely on the Temporary Shortage List, which runs until the end of 2026.
Do we need to tell the Home Office if a sponsored worker works from home?
Not for a hybrid pattern. You do need to report a change to their main work location, or a move to working entirely remotely, within 10 working days. Borderless flags the deadline, and your adviser reviews the report before it goes in.
Which HR systems do you connect to?
HiBob and Sona, on Pro and Expert plans. If you use something else, we can import your records and talk about the right setup.
We don’t have a sponsor licence yet. Can you help?
Yes. We help you apply, from eligibility to key personnel, then stay on for certificates, visas and compliance. Wondercraft and Jack & Jill both started this way.
