Borderless Helps Aston Transitional Care Achieve Seamless Sponsorship and Compliance While Driving Workforce Growth

The Challenge: Scaling Operations and Managing Compliance Risks

Aston Transitional Care’s rapid growth and reliance on international recruitment created several challenges:

• Sponsorship Complexity: With 50% of their 140 employees requiring sponsorship, navigating Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) requests, visa processes, and Home Office compliance became time-consuming and prone to errors.
• Compliance Risks: Manual tracking of BRP expirations, visa renewals, and changes of circumstance increased the risk of non-compliance, which could jeopardize their sponsor licence.
• Administrative Burden: Managing sponsorship and immigration tasks through spreadsheets left Aston vulnerable to inefficiencies and audit risks.

We knew we couldn’t manage compliance and sponsorship effectively as we grew. Borderless provided the expertise and tools to make the process seamless and secure. — Wendy Harris, HR/Recruitment Manager, Aston Transitional Care
