In the sophisticated and highly competitive business era where the economies are evolving, most of the developing countries are in a scramble for human capital that will come up with new skills which will help them stay abreast of fast-moving technologies and rapidly changing business models.

Most of the developing and the developed countries are using their immigration policies to attract these skills. The Department of Home Affairs in the United Kingdom recently announced the visa conditions that are very favourable for healthcare workers so that they employ more skilled health workers that are in a search for greener pastures.

Marisa Jacobs the Managing Director at Xpatweb, the largest independent work permit practice in South Africa said

“Government’s initiative to fine-tune our immigration system to make it easier for companies to attract the skilled people they need is admirable, and clearly the more data it has to work with, the more accurate the list will be.

“We’ve already had record participation in this year’s survey, which indicates how important an issue this is. We are urging companies to take advantage of the new closing date to make sure their voices are included in the process of compiling the final critical-skills list.”
