Recruiting global talent for UK positions
Following the proposed immigration reforms that took place in April 2012, it is still easy to recruit international talent from London Business School:
1. 'Cap free' hiring - When you recruit from London Business School using a Tier 2 visa, you are recruiting from within the UK and therefore the government cap DOES NOT apply
2. The UK Border Agency have committed to removing the requirement for the Resident Market Labour Test (RMLT) for recruiting graduates from UK educational institutions, reducing cost, as of April 2012
3. This more streamlined, certain and unrestricted sponsorship process is only open to graduates of UK Universities and Business Schools - recruitment from non-UK Business Schools and Universities into UK employment will potentially be more restricted and uncertain than before, due to the cap and the move from allocations of certificates to a monthly allocation process across all applicants.
