How did Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group get to know about Nation.better?
Like we always say, at Nation.better, we don’t have customers but partners.
We’re very proud of the lasting professional relationships we’ve built with our partners over the years. This is a testament to the dedication of our team to providing guidance and support to all our partners.
Due to our strong bond, our partners are more than happy to recommend Nation.better services to their business partners if they’re satisfied with our immigration services. And when Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group reached out to us, we got to know that Nation.better was recommended to them by one of our satisfied partners.
We sat down with the team at Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group to discuss their needs and understand what they were expecting from Nation.better in terms of their international recruitment efforts.
Why did Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group reach out to Nation.better?
During our discussions, we understood that Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group was facing difficulties in finding local hospitality workers for their restaurants across the UK. This acute labour shortage was affecting their London-based restaurants the most.
This was not a surprise given that the hospitality industry has been one of the worst affected by the labour shortage in the country.
According to statistics released by the ONS, the hospitality industry has 174,000 unfulfilled vacancies, with the number of people looking for work in the sector decreasing by over 130,000 in recent months.
Being part of an international hospitality group, the folks at Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group had recognised the potential of employee sponsorship in overcoming the acute labour shortage and were prepared to hire international talent.
Although the HR team at Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group was ready to welcome international talent into their team, they needed our support to secure their sponsor licence and help their candidates with their Skilled Worker visa requirements.
Once we understood their needs and expectations, we offered a bespoke proposal to Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group to overcome the current recruitment challenges they were facing—they were fully on board with it from the start.
How did Nation.better support Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group?
Our first task was to help Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group obtain their sponsorship licence to make them eligible to sponsor hospitality workers for their restaurants.
We worked closely with the team at Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group during the application process to help them build a strong case. This involved providing them with information about all the documents they need to submit, the suitability and eligibility criteria they need to meet, and the fees they need to pay.
We also reviewed the application and the supporting documents to ensure there were no reasons for the Home Office to reject the application.
Once the application was successful, we set out to support the Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group with their Skilled Worker visa requirements.
We provided them with a report on all Home Office fees you need to pay for the sponsorship, conducted candidate immigration eligibility assessments, and guided their candidates through the Skilled Worker visa application process.
Was the Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group satisfied with Nation.better solutions?
This is what Vanessa Charles, HR Manager at Seagrass Boutique Hospitality Group, had to say about our services.
“Always professional and great at communication .”
