This is not at all confusing information. It is very unlikely that you will find sponsor. UK Labour Law does not allow easily to a UK Employer to Hire people other than EU/ UK Citizen.pantaiema wrote:This information is confusing.
There are quite reasonable number of people on the UK on work permit. They definitely must have companies who have sponsored them.
But certainly, you must be better with UK/EU citizen in your field as they must gve the preference to UK/EU citizen. The question to be asked here si that "If they could easily find people British/EU people for a vacancy why should they sponsor people who still need work permit ?"
This process is normmaly work, if you are working in the area where there arent enough people in the UK, especially in the shortage occupation list. Or you have some skills required inthe UK in which EU/UK people do not have.
But also remember, finding a job is also something to do with luck. And therefore it is worthy to test the market as you hace nothing to loose.

The UK issued just about 100,000 work permits last year. This is a separate number from HSMP's.
That's 100,000 positions that could not be filled in a timely manner by a UK or an EU or an EEA citizen. These are considered skilled rather than highly skilled openings in all fields.
It helps enormously if the positions are on the Occupations Shortages listing since it reduces or eliminates the need to conduct a local labor test and prove a UK/EEA national isn't available.
