🚀 About Us

We’re building the world’s workforce migration platform to eliminate friction to economic mobility.

Borderless is breaking down borders. In many countries, there are huge workforce shortages in important sectors like healthcare, construction and education. At the same time, there are talented people all over the world looking to migrate for greater economic opportunity. Unfortunately, borders and bureaucracy get in the way.

We’re starting in the UK care sector where the problem is particularly acute. Care providers regularly turn away large numbers of families who need care, because they simply don’t have the staff. We also hear distressing accounts of care workers being charged £20,000+ by unethical third parties to secure a job in the UK. We believe something must change.

Borderless is a technology platform that streamlines hiring and sponsorship for both employers and candidates, enabling employers to fill their staffing shortages and workers to migrate for new opportunities. Using our software, employers can ethically source, hire and relocate staff without needing to become an expert in UK immigration law; while candidates are fully supported throughout the process.

We’ve just closed our seed round, are backed by some of the UK’s leading investors (Entrepreneur First and Backed.VC) and growing quickly.

⚡️About the Role

  • Oversee automated visa applications, ensuring all the information is accurate and relevant.
  • Advise early-stage candidates to make sure they’ve understood what they need to provide and have uploaded all the necessary information and documents.
  • Undertake research to ensure that Borderless is handling all visa applications correctly and legally, staying up to date with changes in regulation.
  • Advise late-stage candidates regarding appointments, dates, accommodation, etc.
  • Ensure that partnered employers are meeting our ethical hiring standards, checking-in with placed candidates regarding their experience at their new place of work.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date client records.

As Borderless grows, we are building more and more automation around visa applications, so the immigration adviser role will shift away from data entry and towards candidate communication and legal research as we move forward.
