SOC 3534 (71% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,700, and Investigo is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 1131 (Financial managers and directors) or SOC 4122 (Book-keepers, payroll managers and wages clerks). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
