Leveraging overseas talent to grow your business

29th November 2022

One of the key themes Fragomen is seeing in the Sheffield City Region and beyond is the skills shortage–and specifically how the limited access to ongoing challenges accessing qualified talent have has significantly impacted businesses.

Fragomen can help you navigate the UK immigration system, allowing you to hire the people you need with the right skills.

The following is a list of questions we frequently receive from clients. If you have these or any other queries, please email sheffieldinfo@fragomen.com and we will be happy to discuss how we can help you.

• How can I recruit foreign graduates from the local universities and colleges?
• How long can a sponsored worker stay with me for?
• How can I hire foreign nationals on internships and work experience programmes?
