Official source
Our directory uses the GOV.UK Register of Worker and Temporary Worker licensed sponsors. Organisation, town/city, county, rating and route come from register records. The register is publicly available without buying a pass.
DATA & METHODOLOGY
Know what a result tells you.
Register data last updated: 15 October 2026 · Data & methodology
Source date and updates
The displayed source date comes from the imported dataset metadata. It is not today’s date or a claim that every company was independently verified that day. Imports are not guaranteed daily. Verify current status on GOV.UK.
Records versus employers
One organisation can have several licence-route records. Counts refer to matching records unless explicitly labelled otherwise; similar names can also belong to different legal entities. We retain the route and location to help distinguish them.
Inferred industries
Industry categories are search aids inferred from organisation names. They are not classifications provided by GOV.UK and may be incomplete or wrong. Broad employer groups can recruit across many disciplines; use wider searches as well.
How Sponsor Match works
Industry, location, route and rating filters determine the results. Profession is a planning cue, not a job-title match. We do not infer eligibility or sponsorship probability.
Observed activity score
The score uses only current source-linked vacancy count, vacancy recency and the date those sources were last checked. A missing score means we have no recent linked evidence. A high score is not a prediction, recommendation or guarantee of sponsorship.
Vacancy evidence
Hiring Now records must retain an original source link, source name and check date. A register match confirms that the named employer was matched to an active licence record; it does not establish that a particular vacancy is eligible for sponsorship.
Corrections
Report an incorrect result with its link, employer name and an official source to info@myvisasponsorship.com. We can review the record; the Home Office controls the official register.
