Well almost.
The employer needs to exhaust all avenues in UK and EU
The position would need to be on the 'official shoratges' list and then the employer would need to apply for registration as licensed sponsor and secure a valid certificate of sponsorship from the UKBA to be a sponsor.

Any non-EEA applicants would need to be actually offered a job, then they would have to be able to amass enough points under the points-based assessment.
The applicants also need to prove they have personal savings of a least £900


The skilled worker category also has a cap on the numbers of people allowed to enter. the 2012/2013 limit is set at 20700 nationally.
(although there's no limitation is the salary is above £150,000)

Generally speaking the annual salary offered needs to be above £20,000
This salary cannot be met by working over 48 hours per week at some lower hourly rate of pay.

And so it goes on ...............
