A gate, not a guarantee

The register tells you the gate is there. It says nothing about vacancies. For that, Capability Scotland's own careers page and the job boards are the source, and they change with the season.

How to approach them

Ask the question early

Sponsorship is a yes or no per role. Ask in the first message whether the vacancy qualifies for a Certificate of Sponsorship; it saves everyone a wasted interview and marks you as someone who knows the system.
