Thousands of UK employers discover the same problem every year. A role looks skilled. The candidate is qualified. The salary meets the requirement. Yet the sponsorship application cannot proceed because the occupation code is not eligible under the Skilled Worker Visa UK route. Occupation codes sit at the centre of the sponsorship system. Every sponsored […]
