Questions HR teams and candidates ask
What is the difference between the Worker and Temporary Worker routes?
The Worker route covers longer-term skilled and health and care roles. Temporary Worker routes cover short, fixed-term work such as seasonal, charity, creative or government-authorised exchange roles.
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.
