The Process - Work Permit Holders

Please see our Candidate Processing Flow Diagram  which will walk you through our process.

We conduct a FREE evaluation to establish if you can satisfy the requirements set by the Home Office Work Permits UK and CSCI, making sure there's a way forward to obtain further FREE services or advise on alternative solutions.

If you're happy to proceed, then we progress matters and work with you to get the desired staff in place after you've accepted our Standard Terms & Conditions of Business or a Bespoke Contract, whichever suits your needs.

The whole process normally takes between 4-6 weeks, depending on the Home Office and the British Embassy workloads.

A large proportion of our services to Clients are FREE as seen below……

High Calibre Candidates

Every Candidate we place has to satisfy a given set of standard criteria. We call this the GRB Ltd Standard Candidate Minimum Requirements.

This is the level GRB Ltd demand for our Clients under our FREE service terms and conditions. That doesn't mean to say Client's can't ask for a higher level of Candidate, far from it, because we establish the precise needs and expectations of all Clients when we carry out the initial free evaluation of their needs. Sometimes, Clients have a particular requirement in mind which is essential rather than just preferred, so it makes sense to have that knowledge before we start searching and screening for suitable Candidates.

Here is a typical example for SCA, Students and ONP applicants.
