Every UK based company, looking to employ EU / non-EU nationals, must obtain a sponsor licence. It allows your business to issue a certificate of sponsorship to your new (or existing) employee, permitting them to work for your business in an eligible role.
Your company can hire from outside the UK or from within the UK. If you are looking to hire someone from within the UK, you can do so if the individual is currently on a temporary visa or if they work for another sponsoring company. You can also sponsor an international student studying in the UK; this allows your business to broaden its talent pool with access to global markets.
If you want to improve your diversity, equality and inclusion (DE&I) credentials, sponsoring an employee is a fantastic way to achieve this, as you access a much broader set of skills from different backgrounds.
