Job ad RLMT

Post by akh88 » Sat Jul 28, 2018 8:04 pm

Dear all,

I was given an offer for a job at an engineering company (research organization). In the job posting, a PhD and a Postdoc are required. I have a couple of questions:

1- If the job advertisement requires a PhD, does it make it a PhD role as defined by HO?

2- The employer posted the job in their website and on the gov find a job website. On the gov website, an indication of the salary was included: ''competitive salary''. On the company website however, no indication about the salary was included. Does this disqualify the posting from the RLMT test?

Thank you all very much in advance.

You''ll have to be patient....CR001 is currently offline :idea:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Yes, this makes it a PhD level job and should come under SOC 2119

2- The employer posted the job in their website and on the gov find a job website. On the gov website, an indication of the salary was included: ''competitive salary''. On the company website however, no indication about the salary was included. Does this disqualify the posting from the RLMT test?
for RLMT the company should advertise on two job sites, this is usually handled by the companies HR department and they know the procedure. I am Postdoc as well in research department and in our field a competitive salary usually means higher than the experienced worker rate. The salary written on your offer letter matters, not the one in the job posting.
Thank you all very much in advance.

Thank you @farazk86 for your reply. Unfortunately, it looks like HR do not really know how to handle this. The job ad was posted on many recruiters websites and online journals. In some cases, the salary indication is missing, in other cases, only the posting date is present but not the closing date. On the gov find a job website, it is complete. Do you think this is bad? Moderators' opinions will be highly appreciated.

My previous Tier 2 visa application was refused due to RLMT not being undertaken properly. In the refusal letter Home Office sent to me they have specified that it is both YOU and your company's responsibility to make it right. In other words, don't just rely on HR, you need to liaise with HR together to make the RLMT right
