Quick answers by audience
We can take a brief the same day and typically present a shortlist within eighteen days for a domestic role. International hires depend on visa processing, so we give you a realistic start-date range in the first call rather than an optimistic one.
A current CV, the countries you are open to, your qualifications and any trade tickets or professional registrations. If you have a passport, note its expiry — it affects visa timelines more often than people expect.
Two intakes a year, starting in April and September. Applications open roughly six months ahead and close when placements are filled, so early applications have far more choice of region and school type.
We give guidance on process, documents and timelines, and we coordinate with licensed immigration advisers who give the formal advice. That separation protects you, and it is how it should be done.
Only with your consent, and only to match you to suitable roles. You can ask us to update or delete your details at any time by emailing privacy@empresrecruitment.com.
