Job vacancies in the UK are at an all-time high. According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of job vacancies in the second quarter of 2022 rose to 1.3 million – 500,000 more than before the pandemic.
The UK is facing a clear and growing skills shortage, brought on by a combination of Brexit restrictions and COVID-19. In response, the Government relaxed eligibility criteria for the skilled worker visa across the healthcare, engineering, technology and education sectors.
