Yes, absolutely.
As I understand it, when an employer who is eligible to look at the pool of candidates who meet the first round of criteria sees somebody they are interested in, they could then pursue the usual job interview recruitment process. At the point that the employer makes a job offer and it's accepted by that candidate, that would then potentially trigger the government inviting that individual to apply for permanent residency. The second stage of the system would be triggered on the acceptance of a job offer.
