How to use this list in your job search

Every company here is legally able to sponsor a work visa — but a licence alone doesn’t mean an employer is hiring, or that they sponsor for every role. Companies marked Actively sponsoring have assigned Certificates of Sponsorship recently, which is the strongest available signal that they genuinely bring in overseas workers.
