From 0 Allocation to 5 CoS in 3 Days — Without a Single Question.
Discover how the undisputed leader in Home Office compliance, IRS HR, helped Heriitage Care overcome 2 years of zero allocations and secure their sponsored workforce in record time.

"Outstanding service from IRS. They helped us secure our CoS quickly, stayed engaged throughout, and were always available to support and answer questions. Highly recommended. Thank you Parakh, Ria and Glory, you guys are amazing"
The Challenge
Trapped in the "Zero Allocation" Cycle
The Unforgiving Rule
Did you know? If a Sponsor Licence Holder does not assign any Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) in the previous calendar year, the Home Office heavily restricts them, often giving them 0 CoS allocation.
This was the exact predicament Heriitage Care faced. They were a growing care provider desperately needing staff to service existing care packages and secure new ones.
-
Zero Allocation: 0 allocation granted in the past 2 years.
-
Unreliable Local Workforce: Local hires frequently left employment shortly after starting, jeopardizing care continuity.
-
Blind Spots: Like many, they used care management software and spreadsheets but lacked a comprehensive view of the sponsorship system, missing critical compliance gaps.
"They wanted to hire sponsored workers and promote existing sponsored care workers to senior carers, but the system was working against them."
Spreadsheets aren't enough.
Care providers need specialized HR compliance to survive Home Office scrutiny.
Unprecedented Timeline
The IRS HR Intervention
Heriitage Care didn't just need an application; they needed a bulletproof compliance infrastructure. Once they partnered with IRS HR, the transformation was immediate.
The "Golden Record" System
IRS HR implemented an undisputable Golden Record. This proprietary system evidences and demonstrates complete adherence to sponsor duties.
It allowed the care provider to identify sponsorship gaps before they became licence breaches, securing their sponsor licence in real-time.
The Unprecedented Result
Because the Golden Record was so meticulous, the Home Office granted their full request
of 5 CoS in just 3 working days.
They did not ask for a
single piece of additional information. They requested 5 CoS, they were
given 5 CoS.
Undeniable Proof
Don't just take our word for it.
