Skilled Worker visa squeeze leaves hiring managers stuck

As an employer, I've watched candidates accept UK roles, then lose patience while the £38,700 salary threshold and sponsor paperwork push start dates past the quarter. Managers keep saying the offer will lapse, while HR gets blamed for slowing down a process that's partly outside our control. How are UK employers handling candidate drop-off when visa costs and approval timing wreck an otherwise solid hire?
