Founded by UK recruitment experts, Sarah Academy provides industry leading employability training and mentoring to international job seekers
Learn How Natalia Landed a UK Visa-Sponsored Role at P&G
Sarah was founded in late 2023 as a spin-out of Capua, a leading UK graduate recruitment company. Our inspiration was that we noticed a strange phenomenon while running Capua: thousands of highly skilled international candidates struggling to land jobs they were well-suited for because of a few common reasons, e.g. a lack of mentorship and obviously, friction with their visa status.
Thus The Sarah Academy was born - we provide as an end-to-end programme designed to support international candidates in securing visa-sponsored roles. Backed by genuine recruitment expertise, we have a proven track record of successfully supporting international candidates through every stage of the recruitment process. Beyond recruitment, we are building a thriving community of international job seekers. One of our favourite parts of Sarah is our fun monthly events!

"I joined Sarah Academy in the July cohort for the Consultancy course. The materials available for the case study interview and live courses are excellent. The job search is simplified and you get to apply to companies providing visa sponsorship strategically. I want to especially thank Maria Mihailova for regularly checking in on me and providing helpful tips."
"I joined Sarah as an international student who didn't know how to navigate the job search but filled with the biggest ambitions. And I was glad I met up with people who gave me the foundation, encouragement and motivation to do so through the weekly and monthly follow ups especially my mentor Maria Mihailova and career coach Ivona. I would definetely recommend to someone looking for a job but also you will get a community as a bonus."
"My experience with Sarah Sarah was filled with joy and knowledgeable experience in landing a job. I was led and mentored by Maria, who has given me effective advice on tailoring LinkedIn profile, being proactive in reaching out opportunities. I would highly recommend Sarah as a platform for job-seekers who want to successfully land their jobs."
"My journey with Sarah was great and I particularly enjoyed the Data Science courses. Throughout the whole process, I was guided and mentored by Maria which made the whole experience even better!"
