    Frequently Asked Questions — Hiring in United Kingdom

    Does my company need a Sponsor Licence to hire through you?
    Yes — UK employers must hold a valid Skilled Worker Sponsor Licence issued by the Home Office before hiring non-UK workers. If you already have a licence, we manage everything from candidate sourcing to Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) assignment. If you are applying for a licence for the first time, we can guide you through the process.
    What is the Skilled Worker visa and how long does it take?
    The Skilled Worker visa replaced the Tier 2 (General) visa in December 2020. Applicants must be sponsored by a licensed UK employer, meet the RQF Level 3+ skill threshold, and earn at least £38,700/year (or the 'going rate' for the role, whichever is higher). Shortage occupations on the Immigration Salary List may qualify at a reduced salary threshold. Processing from CoS assignment typically takes 3-8 weeks.
    Can you supply NHS nurses for UK hospitals?
    Yes — we recruit qualified nurses (RN/RGN) for NHS trusts and private hospitals. Nurses require NMC registration, OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) completion in the UK, and come under the Health & Care Worker visa which has reduced fees and priority processing.
    Can you supply care workers for UK care homes?
    Yes — care workers for CQC-registered providers are eligible under the Health & Care Worker visa, which has a lower salary threshold (£23,200 from April 2024). We supply experienced residential care workers, healthcare assistants, and support workers for UK care providers.
    What construction trades can you supply to the UK?
    We supply bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, welders, scaffolders, steel fixers, concrete workers, and site helpers for UK construction employers. Construction trades remain in high demand across house building, infrastructure, and commercial development.
    What is the cost of hiring through Taj HR for the UK?
    Recruitment fees for UK placements range from £2,500–£4,500 per worker depending on trade and role. Visa fees (CoS, application fee, Immigration Health Surcharge) are typically paid by the employer or shared. All pricing is transparent with a 90-day replacement guarantee included.
