SOC 3571 (65% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Harri is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 4136 (Human resources administrative occupations), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Harri what the duties actually are.
