How many CoS (Certificates of Sponsorship) has your prospective employer issued? And why is this important?
👉 Context:
A CoS (Certificate of Sponsorship) is a record issued by an employer for an Skilled Worker Visa applicant (employees) application.
Each company that has a License to Sponsor - either has CoS certifications on reserve, or will issue individual ones throughout the year.
👉 Why is this important to know?
Just because a business HAS a license to sponsor, doesn't meant that they will.
A great rule of thumb is the more CoS companies have issued, the more likely they are to sponsor.
👉 How do you find out this information?
We have this resource as part of migreats.
Earlier this year, we got in touch with the UK Home Office to gain access to this information.
After several weeks wait, we got our hands on it.
If you want to better position yourself for sponsorship negotiation, you NEED to have the full picture.
Of course, just because a business has issued 10+ CoS's over the past year, it doesn't always mean they'll sponsor - BUT, it's best to stay informed.
If you want access to our CoS list - comment CoS below or send me a DM! 😊
