<\/p>\nBritain’s post-Brexit immigration system has helped make the UK more attractive to foreign workers than the EU, according to an employment website.<\/p>\n
Indeed said interest in British job adverts from international candidates has jumped since 2021.<\/p>\n
Views of UK job listings on the website from people outside the country have soared by 146 percent since early 2021.<\/p>\n
The Government brought in a new points-based immigration system in January 2021.<\/p>\n
Just over five in every 100 views of UK job postings on the website now come from foreign candidates.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pawel Adrjan from Indeed said: \u201cThe UK Government\u2019s new immigration policy is operating as intended, with requirements for non-EU workers generally easing after Brexit.”<\/p>\n
The points-based system scores people based on certain criteria such as speaking English, having a job offer, having a PhD, earning a high salary or taking a job in a sector with a shortage of workers.<\/p>\n
People must reach a score of 70 points to qualify for a visa under the system.<\/p>\n
Mr Adrjan said: “There is a shift towards non-European interest in higher skilled jobs such as software development in the UK and away from lower-skilled roles European workers had previously taken.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve also seen a sharp and unabated rise in foreign interest in care jobs since 2021, following the addition of these roles to the shortage occupation list in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, less than 3 in every 100 clicks on EU job postings in June came from workers outside the bloc.<\/p>\n
Mr Adrjan said: \u201cThe EU is struggling to establish itself as a top destination for foreign job seekers, despite the rebound from pandemic lows.\u201d<\/p>\n
