Case Study: Transforming Our Recruitment Strategy with Immtell

As leaders in the commercial real estate sector, our company has always prided itself on driving innovation and excellence. However, we hit a significant roadblock in our growth trajectory – the challenge of recruiting highly skilled staff within the UK market. We knew we needed to broaden our talent search globally, but the complexities of the UK’s immigration system, especially obtaining a Home Office Sponsor Licence, seemed daunting.

Our team was stretched thin, and critical projects were delayed due to the talent gap. This wasn’t just a recruitment issue; it was a strategic problem threatening our ability to expand and compete effectively.

Our major hurdle was a lack of expertise in navigating the immigration processes; anything government-led is daunting to me, and inevitably, I fear the worst. Applying for a Home Office Sponsor Licence felt like a venture into unknown territory, fraught with complexities and perceived risks.

Our inability to access international talent was more than a bottleneck; it stalled our ambitious projects and growth plans. We were losing lucrative opportunities and falling behind in a highly competitive market.

Without solving this problem, we were not just stalling; we were risking our position as industry leaders. The opportunity cost of not tapping into global talent pools was immense in terms of project execution and market expansion.

When we approached Immtell, led by Gavin Webster, he presented a clear, actionable plan to navigate us through the Sponsor Licence process and update our systems and processes to ensure we would remain compliant once the licence was issued. Gavin promised to cut through the complexity and open a world of global talent to us.

Partnering with Gavin and Immtell turned out to be a game-changer. We successfully obtained our Sponsor Licence, which has been a catalyst for change. We have since recruited top talent from around the world, leading to the successful execution of multiple high-value projects. Our partnership with Immtell didn’t just solve our immediate recruitment challenges; it transformed our approach to talent acquisition, equipping us with the tools and confidence to continue leveraging global talent. The growth we’ve experienced since then has been phenomenal – we’re back on track and forging ahead, expanding our portfolio, and solidifying our market position.
