🤷Employers like to meet candidates, and don’t like expensive commitments to obtain work permits for unknown foreigners
🤷Workers don't know about employers
Addressing these barriers are *part* of the reason for Job Search Visas
▶️Hard to prove success
▶️Lower-than-expected outcomes
▶️Programme management issues (backlogs, integrity)
▶️Overlap with other legal labour migration channels
A political hard sell.
Migration authorities don’t like to admit foreigners to wander around looking for jobs, so JSVs are often only for a select few - exactly those who don’t really need them.
Using third-party rankings in migration risk management is surprising.🤔
Commercial rankings may not reflect what JSVs seek.
And if these graduates are so great, why do they need JSVs?
Evaluation will be important.
One lesson is that adjustments should be expected – JSVs are hard to get right on first go.
