DOOM: Brace yourself - the Indians are coming

I thought sponsorship has been around since immigration rules were put in place? It's all there in black and white. Hasn't been too much of an issue in contracting because agents and brollys cannot offer sponsorship. Only a client with a perm job opening could, or something around those lines.

Lots of chatter on the immigration forums about some brollys that offer sponsorship but that's illegal.

It might be more prominent now with the standard route for cheap labour is to get an offshore bod on shore, but then the boom in offshore has been going for the last 10 years or so.

I don't think anything has changed bar the fact you've been blissfully unaware, unless someone has found a way around the rules. If this company is recruiting a perm role for a client that is going to provide sponsorship then that's fine. It can't be a contract position.

It will be one of those policy changes that the Tories will be unusually quiet about, for a future trade deal with India.
