Successful Global Talent Endorsement for a Health Tech Specialist: Evidence Distribution by Criteria
Co-author Maksym Bondariev.
In this article, we will share our latest success story in obtaining a Global Talent visa endorsement. We will show you how experienced lawyers can help you use your documents correctly and which criteria to focus on.
Challenges of Insufficient Documentation
A common problem in Global Talent cases is a lack of documentation to meet all the criteria. An applicant may have significant achievements in their field and have made a significant contribution to the development of the industry through their professional activities, but they may not have enough documentary evidence to demonstrate this. The applicant may simply not know what evidence is needed.
In such a situation, the Tech Nation guidance comes to the rescue, which provides an indicative list of evidence for each criterion and what can be used. The problem is that the list is quite general, and it becomes difficult to choose the right evidence and distribute it to the right criteria.
Document Analysis and Criteria Selection
For example, an employment contract and salary information can be used for each criterion according to the guidance. However, the guidance prohibits using the same evidence for multiple criteria at once. This means that if you have evidence such as salary information and an employment contract, you will need to do a lot of work to analyse the entire portfolio being presented and choose which criterion to support with the high salary.
For example, if the client has little public recognition for the main criterion, the high salary can be used to show that the applicant is recognised as a professional and is rewarded with a large sum for this. Or vice versa, this evidence can be used to show that the applicant made a significant contribution to the development of the company, for which they received a high salary.
The application process is quite complex, but at the same time flexible. In this case, having enough knowledge allows you to use the available documentation as effectively as possible to convince Tech Nation of the applicant’s talent. Therefore, we recommend seeking help from an experienced team of lawyers to save time and increase your chances of success.
Example of a Successful Case
This is exactly what happened in our case. We were approached by an exceptionally talented professional who had significantly increased the company’s profits and optimised its operations over the past two years. As a product director, he had taken the company’s mobile app to the top tier of the health tech industry.
Despite the client’s impressive profile, he lacked media recognition in the industry. As we wrote earlier, quite often professionals in the industry do not have time to work on their media recognition, as they are focused on specific actions to develop their companies, products and solutions. As a result, they cannot provide enough articles, online videos, examples of public speaking, and so on.
Our team always says that this is not the main problem. In the presence of other evidence, the lack of media recognition can be compensated by other documents. Fortunately, our client had many specific examples of his contribution to the company’s development, according to which it was possible to see clear examples of his activities: strategy development, team management, preparation of recommendations for developers, etc.
After carefully studying our client’s profile, we were able to correctly select the criteria and demonstrate the client’s work. To demonstrate recognition, we used employment documents and additional recommendations from industry experts outside of our client’s work, which demonstrated recognition of his talent and leadership skills by industry leaders.
Swift Endorsement
The preparation process took about a month. The documents were reviewed and discussed with the client multiple times. One of our principles is constant communication with the client during each process, so that our client is confident in our actions and knows that their opinion will be taken into account.
After submitting the application, we received a decision to grant an endorsement within two weeks – a lightning-fast result, four times faster than the standard eight-week timeframe.
