Can a "Fresh Talent Working In Scotland" visa be extended?

Question

What are the conditions around it? If I hire someone with this visa, will I have to say byebye to them after two years?

Thanks!

Maybe not, read below and check out the link.

Below is guidance on where Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme participants must intend to leave the UK (refer to paragraph 143A (vi) of HC395).
• Leave granted under the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme does not lead to settlement. However, the Immigration Rules do enable Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme participants to switch into the following categories of leave in the UK:
• Work permit employment in accordance with paragraphs 128 – 135 of the Immigration Rules
• The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme in accordance with paragraphs 135A – 135H of the Immigration Rules
• Persons Intending to Establish Themselves in Business in accordance with paragraphs 200 – 210 of the Immigration Rules
• Innovator in accordance with paragraphs 210A – 210H of the Immigration Rules
• Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme participants may switch into one of these four categories of leave at any time during their stay in the UK.
• If they do not switch into one of these categories of leave, participants must leave the UK upon expiry of their leave under the Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme.
• The Immigration Rules only enable Fresh Talent: Working in Scotland scheme participants to switch into leave as a work permit holder where they hold a valid work permit for employment in Scotland.
