How to use this template
- 1
Complete the role definition section
Fill in the role title, department, core responsibilities, and required qualifications. Be as specific as possible — a vague role brief leads to a vague shortlist.
- 2
Confirm the salary and location
For sponsored roles, the salary must meet the Home Office minimum threshold for the relevant occupation code.
- 3
Confirm your sponsorship position
State whether you hold an active sponsor licence, are in the process of applying, or do not currently hold one.
- 4
Set a realistic timeline
Note the target start date. Factor in the hiring workflow stages and, if sponsorship may be involved, the legal route coordination timeline.
- 5
Submit to Hirenza with your employer enquiry
Attach the completed role brief to your employer enquiry. This gives Hirenza everything needed to begin the readiness review and talent search.
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.
