Our services add a competitive advantage for your agency. Working with us, you will gain access to an extended pool of non-EU candidates that are currently overlooked by your competitors. With access to an eager worldwide workforce you will no longer experience a shortage of eligible candidates for even the most hard to find skills.

Consider work permits and consider the possibilities.

How can my agency obtain a Work Permit for a candidate?
Agencies are not permitted to apply for Work Permits, therefore you will either need the agreement of the end client to sponsor the candidate or, in the case of a non-EU IT Contractor, you may wish to take advantage of our sponsorship and Ltd company options.
