How to use this template
- 1
Review the checklist against your current hiring situation
Go through each section and mark items as confirmed, in progress, or not yet addressed.
- 2
Identify gaps in your readiness
Focus particularly on sponsor licence status and role definition — these are the most common blockers.
- 3
Share with internal stakeholders
The checklist covers items that span HR, finance, and operations. Share it with whoever owns each area before submitting an employer enquiry.
- 4
Submit your employer enquiry
Once the checklist is substantially complete, submit an employer enquiry to Hirenza. The readiness review covers these same areas, so having the checklist done first speeds up the process.
What this should prevent
Unclear ownership
Each action should have a named owner before the next hiring stage begins.
Late blockers
Missing documents, checks, signatures, or approvals should be visible before the start date.
Weak handovers
Recruitment, HR, operations, compliance, and payroll should work from the same record.
Poor audit evidence
A later reviewer should be able to see what was checked, when, and by whom.
