As a business that wishes to employ skilled workers from outside the EU, you must first apply for a Sponsor Licence. Once you have successfully obtained a Sponsor Licence you are then able to offer a job to non-EEA nationals before they can apply to come to or switch into the Tier 2 or Tier 5 visa category. You will require a Sponsor Licence even if it is top employ workers for unpaid or charity work.
