We are all familiar with the current shortage of talent in the UK and in a competitive recruitment market, recruiting talent from abroad is on many resourcing teams’ agendas.
The UK immigration system is complex and has seen a lot of change over the last few years, and with the Home Office having recently announced a threefold increase in illegal working penalties, now is a good time to get to grips with the basics or just to refresh your knowledge.
During our webinar, we discuss:
Key immigration routes
- an overview of the UK immigration system, with a focus on the key immigration routes for employers, including sponsoring skilled workers
Sponsorship
- the minimum requirements for recruiting skilled workers from overseas
- an overview of your obligations as a sponsoring employer
Prevention of illegal working
- how to get your right to work checks right and (and the penalties if you get them wrong)
