The reality
You have applied to 60, 100, maybe 200 UK roles. You are qualified. You have the degree, the internships, the language skills. But the responses do not come. That is not because you are unqualified. It is because your CV has not been positioned for how UK recruiters actually scan CVs, which takes 6 to 30 seconds and filters ruthlessly on the specific signals they look for.
You do not know which employers actually sponsor Skilled Worker visas. You have been told 'apply everywhere' by generic careers guidance, and you have discovered too late that half the companies you applied to cannot sponsor at any salary. You need the Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors filtered by your sector, and specific SOC codes and salary thresholds for your target roles.
You have been sending the same CV to 50 companies across three sectors. You do not know which sector actually fits your profile, which roles are realistic, which companies are worth targeting first, or how to build a search that converts. You need honest strategic advice from someone who has seen thousands of international graduate applications and knows what works.

The core methodology is public because good methodology cannot be copied by pasting it into ChatGPT. What matters is how it is applied to your specific situation, sector, and background. Here is the methodology at a glance. If it resonates with your understanding of what your job search actually needs, the platform is where you get it applied to your specific case.

Founder
Joshua Jameson-Rickard
Founder, Novocruit · Lausanne, Switzerland
Over the past 12 months, I have spent hundreds of hours directly interacting with hundreds of international students and graduates targeting UK roles. Client conversations, CV reviews, LinkedIn rebuilds, sponsorship questions, and application strategy discussions across all 10 sectors covered by the platform. Every one of those interactions has fed back into the tools, lessons, and methodology on Novocruit.
The platform is the systematised version of everything those interactions have taught me about what works in the UK market. No corporate careers advice. No motivational content. No fabricated success statistics. Direct, evidence-based, sector-specific guidance that international graduates cannot find anywhere else.
