Questions HR teams and candidates ask
What does an A rating mean for a sponsor?
An A rating means the employer is in good standing on the register and can assign new Certificates of Sponsorship for eligible roles.
How do I check whether an employer can sponsor me?
Search the employer on the Home Office register, or on Hirenza by town. Check the route matches your visa and the rating is A before you rely on a job offer.
What changes must a sponsor report, and how fast?
Worker changes within 10 working days; changes to the business within 20 working days. Both go on the Sponsorship Management System. Late or missed reports put the licence at risk; Hirenza tracks the reporting clock.
What is the Employer Standing score?
It is Hirenza's own measure of how far an HR team or candidate can rely on an employer as a sponsor, built from public register facts. It is not a Home Office rating.
Register data: Home Office register of licensed sponsors (Workers and Temporary Workers), published 10 November 2026, Open Government Licence v3.0. Company data: Companies House, company 16838296. Hirenza is HR and payroll software with HR advisers; it is not an immigration adviser.
