"We had been struggling since August 2025 to secure Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) for our existing care workers. After long delays, we registered with IRS HR for support with Home Office compliance, and it was the best decision we made. Their knowledge of sponsor licence compliance and the CoS process is exceptional. With their guidance, we were granted a Priority Slot and successfully secured the CoS required... Their support was professional, responsive, and truly day and night. Special thanks to Parakh Chouhan, the Compliance Team, and all IRS HR staff for their outstanding support. Highly recommended for any organisation needing expert Home Office and HR compliance assistance."
