Thank you all your responses. Much appreciated.

Maybe to put things in context, subject involved will graduate in June with visa to expire in September and has already started job applications.

Subject won't mind non-sponsored professional jobs hence clicking no to be able to at least get a foot in the door and then continue searching for sponsorship jobs from there.

I have seen one or two people use this route.

The person you referred would get 6000 but only after spending like £1000

Maybe I'm missing something but I invited someone last week and I got credited with 4K Avios points even before they received their card

Affordability isn’t the only issue. Why should a company pay at all when you can hire someone else that doesn’t require sponsorship? Also, some firms have to hire a law firm to deal with this which is additional paper work. That’s why it’s difficult to get sponsorship for non-technical roles as supply is abundant.

Cost about £5k to sponsor 1 person for 5yrs. No be even license




That's outside Visa and IHS Fees for applicant and dependents... Even at that, the money isn't typically their problem as much as the uncertainties around the process. Some sponsorship processes take 2 weeks; others can take as much as 6 months where the Applicant is trying to get transcript and Letter of English proficiency from Universities, etc
Understandably, they may prefer someone who doesn't require sponsorship.

Also true, but for jobs that need certain skill sets or ones with Huge employee turnover, it's no brainer for them to start offering sponsorship

The place I work, I even advised the top management guys in a meeting (even thought I don't need it) to just look at sponsorship instead of seeing their best hands leave

They refused to until when they saw that people kept leaving every month to where there's sponsorship

Companies may decide not to do it though but common sense says to

This is incorrect. You pay £536 to get a sponsorship license(small companies) and you can sponsor up to 10 people with it. Bigger companies pay higher but it's still not up to £1500 pounds for the license.

The government still charges the employer a fee for employing you on a Tier 2 visa. I think Theresa May introduced it and it's about £1k a year.

The OP is on student visa.

Immigration skills charge doesn’t apply if the company is sponsoring an applicant on tier 4 visa.

Good evening seniors in the house.

Please is it possible for a student to get Laptop on contract purchase? If yes what are the requirements?

Paypal credit for Samsung purchases? Interest free and spread out over months. But you need to have paypal credit.

I eventually got a £200 switching bonus from NatWest. They are less strict when it comes to UK residence permit duration.

That's the UK's version of the Voters' register. Financial institutions and lenders use that to confirm your the area where you reside in the UK. This is one of the major factors which influences your credit rating score.

I think what she's saying here is linked to those companies that hire and sponsor workers from outside the UK for jobs which may not be on the shortage occupation list or something compared to those who sponsor workers from Tier 4
