UK Immigration - Tier 2 Work Permit
Tier 2 work permits are a points based system. They are designed for candidates who wish to change employment while they are within the UK. An applicant would still be required to obtain a Certificate of Sponsorship from the new company and repeat the points based assessment for successful processing of the work permit.
This is a little different than ICT work permits but more similar to a standard work permit application. A sponsoring company, rather than the individual, is responsible for applying for a Tier 2 Chang of Employment work permit.

However, in case a position is included in the non-shortage list of occupations, the company offering sponsorship would be required to prove that they did attempt to recruit from within the resident EU work force by advertising a vacancy for that position. A vacant position notice must be advertised in a national broadsheet newspaper, relevant trade journal and/or a relevant website for at least twenty-eight (28) days.
