We source and screen skilled workers for UK construction sites. You sponsor and hire.
World-class teams are built with GVMC Global
From your first brief to a worker starting on site - here's exactly how the process runs.
Share your open roles - electricians, engineers, industrial technicians, whatever your site or workshop needs - along with your headcount and timeline.
We search our overseas talent network, verify qualifications and work history - including CSCS card status for construction roles - and put forward a shortlist of candidates who genuinely fit the role.
You interview shortlisted candidates and make the final call. GVMC coordinates the logistics, but the hiring decision - like the sponsorship - stays entirely yours.
Once you've selected a candidate, your company (as the Sponsor Licence holder) issues their Certificate of Sponsorship. We coordinate paperwork, timelines, and communication with the candidate throughout - but the sponsorship itself is between you, your worker, and the Home Office.
Verified candidates, coordinated process, you stay in control.
Employers come back to us for repeat hires, not just a one-time search - whether you need one specialist or a full crew, we're not starting from zero every time you have a vacancy.
GVMC recruits and screens. Your company, as the Sponsor Licence holder, issues the Certificate of Sponsorship and remains the legal sponsor throughout - we never claim to sponsor on your behalf. Think of us as support that helps you fill the pipeline, not a substitute for your compliance team.
Every candidate is checked for qualifications, relevant experience, and documentation before you ever see their profile - so shortlists are short for the right reasons.
A dedicated contact who knows your open roles, backed by a team handling candidate coordination and communication from shortlist to start date.
We've placed workers across construction, engineering, and industrial trades, so we already understand the qualifications and site requirements your roles need - not learning on the job at your expense.
Filling the role is one thing - keeping it filled is another. We check in with placed workers and employers at set intervals after the start date, so small issues get caught early instead of turning into a bad hire.

some reflection of people interacted with us
How GVMC compares to local hiring, other agencies, and DIY sourcing.
vs. Hiring only from the local market: If local candidates with the right qualifications are scarce, GVMC opens up a wider, pre-screened overseas pool - without you having to build sourcing channels abroad yourself.
vs. Other UK recruitment agencies: Established sourcing network across 60+ countries with sector experience in construction, engineering, and industrial trades - not a generalist agency treating skilled trades as an afterthought.
vs. Sourcing overseas candidates yourself: Skip the time cost of finding, vetting, and communicating with overseas candidates on your own, usually alongside your day job - we handle sourcing and screening, you focus on the hiring decision and your sponsor duties.
Everything recruitment partners ask before their first submission.
No. Only a UK company holding a valid Home Office Sponsor Licence can sponsor a worker, and that has to be your company, not GVMC. We recruit, screen, and coordinate candidates for you - your business issues the Certificate of Sponsorship and remains the sponsor throughout.
You'll need one before you can sponsor an overseas worker - it's issued by UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) directly to your company. We can point you toward what's involved, but the application itself is a legal matter best handled with your own immigration adviser.
Three pillars: construction (electricians, bricklayers, steel fixers), engineering (mechanical and electrical engineers, technicians), and industrial skilled trades (machine operators, welders, fabricators) - wherever UK employers are turning to overseas hiring to fill genuine skill gaps.
Electricians, Welders, Pipe Fitters, Steel Erectors, Steel Fixers, Plumbers/HVAC, Carpenters, Bricklayers, Painters & Decorators, Construction Supervisors, Subject to current UK occupation eligibility, salary requirements and employer sponsorship.
Sourcing and screening candidates usually takes a few weeks, depending on the role. Certificate of Sponsorship issuance and the visa application afterward run on the Home Office's own timeline, which your immigration adviser can estimate more precisely for your specific case.
No - we work with employers of different sizes, as long as you hold (or are working toward) a valid Sponsor Licence and have a genuine vacancy to fill.
