I don't mean this to be a political post, I’m just trying to understand the logic. How is it that companies are allowed to offer visa sponsorships for jobs where skills are not in short supply and plenty of good talent available? What is the process for them to prove that there is a skill shortage
For example, I’ve seen a role posted on a well-known job site, it mentions all the “benefits” the company offer but no sign of a salary. It was a senior frontend developer role, with a stack I usually work with but the job specs look like your typical developer job, AWS, 7+ years experience etc etc. There are plenty good talented people on the market desperate for work, I know would be able to fill this role as a contractor but also am aware of others who are out of work and looking for permanent roles who could do it.
If the company is not prepared to advertise the salary or is not willing to pay for the market rate for skills then why should they be allowed to look abroad and offer places for people to move to the UK to work for lower salaries?
I understand we do have skill shortages in the medical fields and would see the point of visa sponsorships for those jobs.
