the title is not strictly true is it?
a company the UK government has outsourced part of the "tech talent visa" check to has lost its government funding
no reason it couldn't be done by someone else
the article also states the grant was for £12 million and 3000 people went through it
that's quite a lot of taxpayer money per visa to check someone's eligibility
- dang 4y agoYes, that seems to have been a wrongly rewritten title. We've reverted it now. (Submitted title was "UK Tech Talent Visa to shut down after government withdraws funding".) Submitters: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (Sometimes it's the site itself that changed its title, in which case of course it isn't the submitter's fault.)
- VLM 4y agoIt took 70 employees 12 years to process those 3000 employees. That's one per work week, roughly.
