As Brexit has now brought free movement to an end, many sectors across the UK have been struggling to recruit staff. The UK now lacks skilled workers in number of different industrial sectors like, technology, finance, hospitality, medical etc. Due to the shortage of staff that employers are now facing, they are choosing to recruit from overseas to fill the gap in the labour market. To sponsor a skilled worker from overseas, employers will first need to obtain a skilled worker sponsor licence.
A sponsor licence allows UK-based companies to employ skilled workers who are based overseas or within the UK (applicants can “switch” into the Skilled Worker visa from most other visa types, for example Tier 4 Student visas or Tier 5 Youth Mobility visas).
The sponsor licence process can be quite complex based on the nature of the business. The documents and requirements for a sponsor licence application differ depending on the type and nature of the business. Whilst there is no legal requirement to use an immigration lawyer it is always sensible to instruct a lawyer who has vast experience in dealing with sponsor licence applications as they can help you navigate the complex application process.
