1. The five criteria
A score is the sum of five parts. Two are arithmetic. Three are a judgment made by a person, on a stated date, next to the evidence that supports it.
- Abroad-hiring evidence30 pointsJudged
Public, dated evidence that this employer has hired someone who was still abroad, such as use of the Via Verde fast lane, postings offering relocation or visa support, or press about international hiring. Confirmed scores 25 to 30, inferred 10 to 15, unknown 8 to 10, negative signal 0 to 5.
- Role fit30 pointsJudged
How closely your trade, certificates and years match what this employer hires for, read from their postings.
- Hiring activity15 pointsComputed
A posting or public hiring statement within 14 days scores 15, within 45 days 11, within 90 days 7, older 4. An employer that recruits continuously never scores below 11.
- Language10 pointsJudged
Whether the levels you gave us meet what their postings ask. Honest levels score better than optimistic ones, because your email states the same level.
- Scale and Via Verde eligibility15 pointsComputed
Employers with more than 150 staff and EUR 25M turnover, who can file the fast lane directly, score 15; other employers over 150 staff 13; 50 to 150 staff 9; under 50 staff 4; channels 8.
75 and above: write first. 45 to 74: write after checking the evidence. Under 45: skip.
2. The five statuses
The status says what kind of evidence sits behind the abroad-hiring score. It is not a second score; it tells you how much to trust the first one.
- ConfirmedDirect, dated evidence of hiring from abroad.
Example: A construction group named in the press for signing contracts with workers selected abroad, and listed among the users of the Via Verde fast lane.
- InferredStrong indirect signals, no direct proof.
Example: A shipyard whose team page shows staff from four countries and whose postings appear in English, with nothing that states a contract was signed abroad.
- UnknownNothing found either way. The fit may still be good.
Example: A facilities company with roles that match yours and no trace of international hiring, positive or negative.
- Negative signalEvidence that points the other way.
Example: A posting that requires residence nearby, or a public statement that the company hires locally only.
- ChannelA route to several employers, not an employer.
Example: A community business network or a staffing agency that passes on vacancies. Scored as one row, with a fixed scale score of 8, because the contract is signed by whichever employer it leads to.
3. The freshness rule
Every posting we cite is re-checked when your report is generated, not when we first found it. Anything older than 90 days at that moment is marked as such in the evidence line, and its hiring-activity points are reduced. A dead link scores nothing, even if it was live last month.
Each evidence line carries the date it was checked. If you open a source and it has changed, tell us; we re-score that employer and send the update.
4. What we do not do
- No contact with employers. We never write to them, so the list is not shaped by who answers us.
- No commission. Nobody on the list pays us, before or after you are hired.
- No guessing email addresses. If a contact cannot be verified from a public source, we say so and give you the general channel instead.
The refund rule
A qualified employer scores 45 or more. If your report has fewer than 15 qualified employers, we refund in full and tell you why, usually language or certification, so you know what to fix. No form, no argument.
