The Skilled worker visa
For this visa you must be sponsored by an employer with a Skilled Worker license, the job must also meet the qualifying salary for sponsorship. Not all graduate level jobs will meet this salary threshold.
Not all employers who hold a licence may be able to recruit international applicants into the position you are applying to, however many companies who do not yet hold a license may apply for one if they find the right candidate.
