UK job search services

The UK offers several career opportunities in various fields and many of them are high-paying as well.

The UK government releases the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) which lists the jobs that are facing a skill shortage in the country. It basically lists the skilled roles where there is no local talent available and migrants are needed.

The occupations in the shortage occupation list are recommended by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC).

This list is updated regularly by keeping track of the skill shortages in the workforce. UK employers are exempt from conducting a Resident Labor Market Test (RLMT) for migrant candidates who apply for these jobs.

UK Skilled Worker Visa

The UK Skilled Worker visa was introduced to bring in highly skilled overseas workers into the UK labor market and subsequently take up permanent residence in the UK.

With this visa, skilled workers from other countries can be selected based on the shortage occupation list and they will be eligible to get an offer letter without the labor market test and stay in the UK for up to 5 years.

Eligibility requirements for the visa

You must have a score of 70 points to qualify in the defined parameters like specific skills, qualifications, salaries and professions.

You need to have a Minimum Bachelor’s degree or equivalent with 2 years of skilled work experience from the eligible occupations list

You must have a job offer from a Home Office licensed sponsor

 The job offer must be at the required skill level – RQF 3 or above (A Level and equivalent)

 You must meet the English Language requirement at B1 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

 You should also meet the general salary threshold of £25,600, or the specific salary requirement for the occupation or the ‘going rate’.

You must get a certificate of sponsorship for the job you have been selected for to get your Skilled worker visa. The Certificate of Sponsorship must be issued by the employer who has selected you.

What can you do for your job search in the UK?

Look for high-demand occupations: Some vocations, which are not necessarily in the SOL, will always be in great demand, such as temporary agricultural workers. Manufacturing and service industries, for example, are both experiencing labor shortages. Healthcare workers are likewise in high demand.

Use the services of a global recruitment firm: To find a job in the UK, you can contact recruiting agencies. Some of these firms may specialize in sourcing workers for UK firms, while others may concentrate on filling specific tasks with international workers. Your profile will be shared with employers who are seeking for people like you by the recruiter.

Look for fresh graduate positions: If you are a recent graduate, you can apply to any of the several UK companies that are hiring. Because most of these organizations begin their recruitment process early, you will need to do some legwork well before your final year. It will also allow you time to prepare for any additional criteria that these businesses may have.

Make use of online job search sites: You can find the job you want in the UK by searching internet employment databases. These positions are marked as having Tier 2 sponsorship in the job description. Employers seeking for candidates from outside the EU or EEA can also be found using advanced search options.
