Recruitment agencies

Know where an overseas candidate stands — before you invest.

Placing candidates who need a UK visa is a gamble when nobody's sure of the rules. Give your recruiters and candidates a fast, accurate reality check built on the official guidance.

The problem

Hours lost on placements that were never going to clear.

Recruiters pour time into overseas candidates without a clear read on the visa position, then hit a wall late in the process. Candidates are anxious and under-informed, and the published rules are scattered across dozens of GOV.UK pages.

Straight answers

Questions recruitment agencies ask.

Do you cover ethical international recruitment rules?

VisaBuddy focuses on visa requirements from the published GOV.UK rules; it doesn't certify compliance with frameworks like the NHS Code of Practice for International Recruitment. But giving candidates an accurate, honest first answer on their visa position is part of a responsible, transparent process.

How does this help our recruiters?

Before you invest hours in an overseas candidate, they can check what the published UK rules say for their situation — a fast reality check on GOV.UK sources. It is not an eligibility decision, which needs a regulated adviser.

Can we offer it to candidates as a value-add?

Yes. With the £250/year licence you can give every candidate unlimited free checks and reports — a genuine service that sets you apart, at no per-candidate cost.

Is it immigration advice?

No. VisaBuddy is information only, drawn from published GOV.UK guidance. It never assesses eligibility or recommends a route.

VisaBuddy is a trading name of Culture & Clarity Ltd, UK company 16795837. General information from publicly available UK government sources. Not immigration advice.
