Get a UK visa and join the job hunt

A report on FT.com today has accused the UK visa rules of inhibiting companies from hiring the best talent from overseas.

The current points-based UK immigration system is creating “unexpected hitches” for employers and this in turn is having adverse effects on the London’s standing as a global business centre.

The government’s focus on “British Jobs for British Workers” has led to stricter UK visa rules and more delays in visa application approvals for some businesses.

How have the new laws affected your business and recruitment drive for talented overseas staff?

Are you a recruiter or in HR facing a daily battle with UK immigration bureaucracy?

Or, as an employee from overseas, is securing the vital UK work visa now such an arduous task that you’re thinking of staying at home or migrating elsewhere?
