As the tech sector continues to grow, navigating the complexities of the UK’s immigration system becomes increasingly crucial for businesses seeking top talent. Our event will provide an in-depth exploration of immigration options for recruiting non-UK nationals into the tech sector.
Key insights will include:
- Overview of the Skilled Worker Visa Route: We will delve into the requirements and challenges associated with the Skilled Worker visa, including specific hurdles SMEs may face in obtaining a sponsor licence;
- Impact of Regulatory Changes: Understand how the April 2024 changes to salary thresholds and the removal of tech roles from the Shortage Occupation List will affect recruitment and retention strategies. We will also look at the benefits of the “new entrant” discount for graduates;
- Compliance Essentials: Gain clarity on the compliance requirements for maintaining sponsorship status;
- Cost Implications: Examine the increasing costs associated with sponsorship and how businesses can manage these expenses;
- Alternative Immigration Pathways: Explore other routes such as the Graduate visa route, the High Potential Individual route and the Innovator Founder;
- Advanced Options for Exceptional Talent: Discover opportunities through the Global Talent for attracting high-calibre professionals.
Join us for this essential session organised by Ward Hadaway to stay ahead in tech recruitment, ensuring your business leverages the full potential of the UK’s immigration system.
