LumiCV is CV-tailoring and job-tracking software you run yourself — not a recruiter or immigration consultancy. We show you publicly listed roles and help your application land; you choose the jobs and you apply.

Hiring in United Kingdom

UK hiring favours concise, achievement-led CVs — two pages maximum, no photo, with a brief personal statement ("profile") at the top. The format closely matches the Irish/American convention but with British spelling throughout (optimise, organisation, programme). UK ATS systems (Workday, Greenhouse, iCIMS at corporates; Workable at startups) parse modern format well.

Post-Brexit, the Skilled Worker visa replaced free movement — and sponsorship needs a salary of at least £41,700 a year, or the going rate for the job if that's higher. Sponsor licence employers are listed publicly. LumiCV's UK jobs feed pulls from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workable employers with UK presence.

Salary thresholds and visa rules above reflect publicly available figures as of 2026 and may change. Always confirm with the official authority — www.gov.uk — before applying or making relocation decisions.
