The old “Tier 2” terminology should not drive a current recruitment plan. Employers should use current GOV.UK sponsor and work-visa guidance when considering an international hire.

Understand the topic

The old “Tier 2” terminology should not drive a current recruitment plan. Employers should use current GOV.UK sponsor and work-visa guidance when considering an international hire.

Step by step: prepare your next action

Clarify the role, eligible route, sponsor responsibilities and evidence before offering a start date. Assign an owner for checking current rules and obtain qualified advice for questions about the employer’s obligations.

Make your checklist useful

Record the specific role or pathway you are investigating, the official source and the date you checked it. Keep your qualification and employment dates consistent. Separate evidence you already hold from an application in progress or a result still awaiting verification. If an instruction is unclear, write the question down and obtain an answer before paying or submitting.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not reuse old fees, salaries, test thresholds or processing times as current promises. Do not exaggerate experience, professional status or eligibility. Keep identifiable patient information out of your CV and supporting statement. When reviewing a vacancy, use its current written terms rather than assuming benefits or employer support from a general article.

Your next step with Midora

Prepare your professional summary and discuss your goals with Midora. Candidates can use the CV readiness review and explore published roles; employers can share a clear staffing brief. Independent regulator, examination, immigration and travel costs may apply and should be confirmed with the organisation requesting payment.
