Why a Company's Visa Sponsorship History Is Your Best Signal (Important Update)

If you're looking for a sponsored role right now, a company's recent sponsorship history is one of the strongest indicators of whether they're actually open to sponsoring you.

There are 100k+ companies with a sponsorship licence, but the reality is that a large majority have either never used it to hire an international candidate, or only sponsor very senior positions.

After several months of back and forth with the UK government, I've finally managed to get the most up to date view on how many visas companies have sponsored, with data available as recently as September 2025 (just six months ago).

The best part is that you can check all of this information yourself using a tool that works directly on any job board you're using, helping you focus your search on companies where sponsorship is very likely.

Be sure to install the extension today—we'll continue to update the data quarterly to provide the most up-to-date insights.
