We have worked with a number of umbrella companies offering services to software contractors. Here’s who we recommend:

We work with a steady stream of candidates from overseas seeking jobs in the UK or Europe. Here are some helpful links to support the recruitment process:

http://www.workpermit.com/uk/relocation.htm - The first port of call for anyone seeking advice and support to come to UK

We do not sponsor visa applications, and it is difficult for graduates or candidates with only a few years industry experience to obtain work permits. However, our clients often sponsor candidates with very specialist skills or significant experience if they cannot find candidates within the European Union. HSMP visas are also making it easier for many to find jobs in the UK. Follow the following links for more information:
