What is the 45-minute review call?
It is a live walkthrough of your Fit Assessment report, one-to-one with a real assessor, and it is included in the £200 at no extra charge. The written report tells you where you stand; the call is where a human sits with you, explains what the score means for your case, and answers the questions the document cannot anticipate. Most applicants leave the call knowing three things clearly: whether to apply, which route to apply on, and precisely what to strengthen first.
The report is deliberately detailed — a score out of 20, a component-by-component breakdown, a route recommendation, an evidence plan and a risk register. That is a great deal to absorb on your own. The call turns a document into a decision.
What does the review call actually cover?
The call walks through your report in the order that matters, so that by the end you have a clear plan rather than a list of observations. In practice it covers four things.
- Your score, explained. We go through your score out of 20 and, more importantly, what is driving it — where you are already strong against the Mandatory Criterion and the four optional criteria (OC1–OC4), and where the marks are being lost. You will understand the number, not just receive it.
- Your gaps, named specifically. We name the gaps that stand between your current profile and a credible application: recognition that lives only inside your own employer, achievements stated at team level without individual attribution, referees who are not senior enough, or evidence that falls outside the recent window. These are the recurring patterns that assessors and applicants report as reasons for non-endorsement, mapped to your actual documents.
- What to fix first, and how. Not everything matters equally, and not everything is worth doing. We prioritise — the two or three changes that move your case the most — and talk through how to make each one, from re-framing a contribution as individual impact to choosing stronger referees for your three recommendation letters.
- Your route. We talk through whether Exceptional Talent or Exceptional Promise fits your profile, what each implies for your evidence, and what each means further down the line — including the settlement timeline of three years as a leader or five years as a potential leader. Choosing the wrong route is one of the quieter reasons strong candidates stumble, so this part is often the most valuable.
Throughout, you ask questions. The call is yours; if you want to spend most of it on your letters, or on the Talent-versus-Promise decision, or on whether your service-company experience will be read as product-led, that is where the time goes.
Get the report, then the call.
The 45-minute walkthrough with a real assessor comes with every £200 Fit Assessment. Credited to any package within 14 days.
Who runs the call — is it a real person?
Yes. The call is with a real assessor — the same expert judgement that scored your report — not an automated bot and not a salesperson reading from a script. This matters because the value of the 45 minutes lies in the questions a document cannot answer: the borderline cases, the "does this specific thing count", the honest read on whether a particular referee will carry weight. Those are judgement calls, and judgement calls need a human.
It also matters for trust. The Global Talent Visa space is full of automated checkers and anonymous middlemen, and applicants are right to be wary. Endorsa is a real firm with a named principal, a founder endorsed in 2008 who then helped thirty-five friends through the same route, and more than eighteen years in and around this process. The person on your call is accountable for what they tell you, and they will tell you honestly if the answer is that you are not ready yet.
How and when is the call booked?
The call is booked after your report is delivered, so that both you and the assessor are looking at the same finished document. The flow is straightforward, and there is no payment until you choose to proceed.
- Upload your documents. You start by uploading your CV and supporting material. There is no payment at this stage.
- Free preliminary read. You receive a free preliminary read — an indicative view before you commit to anything.
- Pay the £200. When you are ready for the full assessment, you pay the £200 through a secure payment link.
- Download your report instantly. Your branded PDF report and XLSX evidence tracker are available to download immediately through secure personal links, which are also emailed to you.
- Book your 45-minute call. With the report in hand, you book the walkthrough at a time that suits you. You come to the call already knowing your score, so the 45 minutes are spent on what to do about it — not on catching up.
Booking after delivery is deliberate. If the call came first, you would spend it hearing your results for the first time. Because you have read the report, you arrive with your own questions, and the whole session goes further.
How do I get the most out of the 45 minutes?
You do not need to prepare anything — the report does that work — but a little forethought goes a long way. Read the report once before the call and mark the parts you do not follow or do not agree with. Note the two or three questions you most want answered: it is common for those to be "which route?", "are my referees strong enough?", and "what is the single most important thing to fix?". If you have documents you were unsure whether to include, have them to hand. The more specific you are, the more specific the guidance you take away.
By the end, you should be able to say, in a sentence, what your next step is — whether that is applying with confidence, strengthening two things first, or deciding the route is not right for you yet. Clarity is the point.
Is the review call just a sales pitch?
No. The call is a genuine review of your report, and plenty of applicants take the plan away and act on it themselves — that is a perfectly good outcome, and the plan is yours to keep. Honesty is the brand here: we do not guarantee outcomes, and we would rather tell you the truth about your case than sell you a package you do not need.
If you do decide you would like us to do the work, the options are transparent and the £200 you already paid is credited in full to any package within 14 days. The Done-with-you service at £2,500 refines your own drafts and includes support for one endorsement review. The End-to-End Writing service at £4,500 builds the whole application from scratch and includes one free reattempt support if the outcome goes against you. For context, immigration law firms typically charge £4,500–£9,000 plus VAT for comparable full-service help. But none of that is decided on the call unless you want it to be — the walkthrough stands on its own.
