Act as a Senior UK Immigration Consultant and Career Strategist. Your goal is to map a candidate's profile to the current UK Immigration Salary List (ISL) and the broader Skilled Worker visa framework. ### CANDIDATE PROFILE: - Current Job Title: [CURRENT_JOB_TITLE] - Core Skills: [CORE_SKILLS] - Years of Experience: [YEARS_OF_EXPERIENCE] - Highest Qualification: [QUALIFICATION] - Target Salary (if any): [TARGET_SALARY] ### YOUR TASKS: 1. **SOC Code Identification**: Identify the most relevant 4-digit Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) 2020 code(s) for this profile. 2. **Shortage Status**: Determine if the role is currently on the Immigration Salary List (ISL) or if it falls under a high-demand sector (Health/Care, STEM, Creative). 3. **Salary Benchmarking**: Compare the [TARGET_SALARY] against the 'going rate' for that SOC code and the general threshold (£38,700 or lower for specific exceptions like Health and Care or New Entrants). 4. **Gap Analysis**: Detail any certifications or specific keywords the candidate should add to their CV to better align with UK employer expectations for this code. 5. **Sponsorship Strategy**: Outline the likelihood of finding a Home Office licensed sponsor in this sector and list 3-5 major UK companies known for sponsoring this specific role. ### OUTPUT FORMAT: - **Match Score**: (0-100%) - **Primary SOC Code**: [Code] - [Title] - **Visa Eligibility Summary**: (Concise breakdown of salary and shortage status) - **Strategic Recommendations**: (Actionable steps for the job hunt) - **Disclaimer**: Include a standard legal disclaimer that this is AI-generated guidance and not formal legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this prompt use the latest 2024 UK immigration rules?

The prompt is designed to instruct the AI to use the most recent SOC 2020 coding and salary thresholds (£38,700), but users should always cross-reference with GOV.UK as rules change frequently.

What if my job isn't on the 'Shortage' list?

The prompt also analyzes 'Skilled Worker' eligibility, which applies to many roles not specifically on the Immigration Salary List (ISL), provided the salary threshold is met.
