UK: Sponsor UK System to replace Sponsor Management System? 🇬🇧 The UK Home Office is planning to replace the existing Sponsor Management System (SMS) with the Sponsor UK System. This new platform is set to modernize and streamline the process for companies sponsoring international workers. What’s new with Sponsor UK? ➝ A more user-friendly interface for managing sponsorship tasks online. ➝ Improved compliance monitoring with real-time data access. ➝ New notification features to ensure sponsors are reminded of important deadlines, like visa renewals and compliance checks. ➝ Faster and more efficient processes for sponsorship license applications and renewals. The platform is already in use for GAE (Government Authorised Exchange) applications. A full implementation date hasn't been announced but will likely take place by March 2025. 🗓 Unsure about the changes? Reach out to our team for expert advice on UK sponsorship and how to ensure your company remains compliant with UK immigration regulations: https://lnkd.in/e2kg2EPY

Meet Marje Salumets, our Chief Information Security Officer! A little over two years ago, Marje went from consultant to Jobbatical's full-time security leader. And are we glad she did! 🌟 Her expertise and love for a good challenge continuously push our security efforts further - earning Jobbatical the ISO27001 certification year after year. 🛡️ "I started working with Jobbatical as an information security consultant for a partner company. The innovative work environment quickly inspired me to join the team full-time. Between my time as a consultant and becoming part of Jobbatical’s team, it’s been almost four years. Managing security these days is demanding, and doing it in a decentralized business environment adds an extra layer of difficulty. Imagine not having a dedicated location to run services from or even an office to work in. Working together when your team is spread across different places in the world is challenging. Not only from a security perspective but also in maintaining team spirit. Fortunately, I’m not someone who enjoys easy challenges. I’ve learned to benefit from a decentralized environment and turn its challenges into opportunities. Since joining Jobbatical, we’ve made an exceptional effort to improve our security processes. Not too long ago, the “Zero Trust” security strategy was just an idea - today it’s recognized as one of the world’s leading security strategies. Through ongoing learning, constantly refining our monitoring processes, and a lot of teamwork, Jobbatical has consistently earned the ISO27001 certification. None of this would be possible without the motivated and driven team we have here at Jobbatical." #MeetTheOrcas #MeetTheTeam #GlobalMobility #EmployeeRelocation #HR

Meet Angie M. Ryan, our Growth & Business Development Leader! Moving all the way from Costa Rica to Estonia without ever even visiting the country sounds quite scary. Or is it? 🤔 Not for Angie! 🌟 Six and a half years ago, she relocated to Tallinn to join Jobbatical and the team that made relocating across continents feel like a piece of cake. Now, she's leading the way to help other professionals do the same. "Back in 2018, I took a leap into the unknown and moved from Costa Rica, my home country, to Estonia—a country I had never been to before. I’d heard stories of long, freezing winters, so you can imagine my surprise when I arrived in the middle of one of the hottest summers on record, with temperatures of 32°C! What truly stood out to me, though, was how easy my relocation process was. Jobbatical and the people who are now my team made it feel so effortless that I sometimes forget I even went through a relocation process at all. All the paperwork was taken care of before I had time to worry about it, and within weeks of arriving, I received my residence permit. That experience didn’t just make the entire move easier—it opened the door to incredible growth and opportunities for my career as a Growth and Business Developer. It’s been six and a half years since I joined Jobbatical. All this time, I’ve been proud to be part of an effort that makes relocations like mine possible for others—helping companies and their global professionals like me grow, innovate, and find new opportunities without worrying about borders." #GlobalMobility #EmployeeRelocation #Immigration #HR #HRTech
