I work for one of those (130,000 staff worldwide), the head of HR here said that if you don't have a visa they won't even accept application let alone give you an interview.
dont have a visa = not be a british citizen or dependant of someone who is sponsored by an employer i.e. they won't sponsor a visa for anyone which is bonkers when you think about the size of the organisation

We're smaller ~ 300 people or so, but that is generally our policy. Sorting it out and keeping on top of it is too much hassle.

Yep and new employees may be hit, because they cannot prove their status thanks to this shamblecluster of the government.
I am not sure how my employer deals with visas as I've never been in that boat. But we have people from Sri Lanka/Jordan and not just EUwans.
We did ask HR for help but nothing yet. But then HR doesn't know what the F is going on either, Settled Status is not yet rolled out AND they don't give you anything physical, just an online number.
What can go wrong...

It is really quite amazing, as my employer has to comply with immigration law, my contract says that I am responsible for my immigration status, then nobody can check if all is OK.
Amazing.
Clearly deviced by people that never actually worked practical jobs dealing with people and WTF is going on / where is this thing / where do I find it...
If push comes to shove they'll sort something for me (big international company so they have the knowledge/offices outside the UK) but really, well done people.
