HR Glossary
What is Tier 2 / Skilled Worker Visa?
The UK's primary work visa for employers hiring foreign nationals in eligible skilled occupations, requiring a licensed sponsor, a job at the appropriate skill level (RQF 3 or above), and a salary meeting the relevant threshold.
Why it matters in hiring
Tier 2 / Skilled Worker Visa comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
