Mistakes we see repeatedly
Unclear ownership: No active Authorising Officer / Level 1 coverage when people leave.
Late SMS reporting: Worker changes reported after deadlines.
Sloppy records: Missing right-to-work or recruitment evidence when audited.
Inaccurate CoS: Salary or duties that do not match the real job.
Job ad over-promises: Advertising sponsorship you cannot yet deliver.
Ignoring salary thresholds: Offers that cannot meet route rules.
Marketplace trust
On GSH, inaccurate sponsorship labels hurt candidates and your brand. Use the globally remote and sponsorship checklists before publishing.
