Recruitment concerns finding a match between a person and a job. Immigration support concerns permission for the proposed work. An introduction, a job offer and a visa decision are separate milestones.

Work backwards from the job and the person.

If you are still orienting yourself, use the free assessment. If the facts are already specific, book a consultation.
