Refugee Talent
Almost 80m people are displaced globally, many of whom possess skills required by Western companies. At Build A Career, we offer employers exclusive access to an untapped pool of talent. People with a different mindset, with higher motivation, higher capacity for adaptation and who are truly resilient.
We connect these forcibly displaced and talented people with employers who are in need of their skills, to help widen talent pools and at the same time change lives.
Fast Track Visa
By engaging governments and enabling partners, we’re creating safe, legal pathways that enable refugees to move for work, resume their careers, and rebuild their lives with dignity. How? Through a fast-track pilot visa exclusive to Displaced Talent candidates.
This pilot visa will provide candidates with priority processing i.e. a five-day turnaround (depending on cases) which represents a cost saving of approximately £500. Furthermore, candidates will receive case management support to overcome administrative barriers such as accessing passports, tax records, employment references and more.
In addition, candidates will have access to safeguards in the event that they lose their job to ensure they are not returned back to the countries where they had been facing danger. Finally, candidates will be entitled to a 5 year Skilled Worker Visa, and then Indefinite Leave to Remain (providing criteria are met).
