Other sites make you download a 143,000-row spreadsheet and search it yourself. SponsorMove does the boring work — cleaning, de-duplicating and indexing the register — so you get answers, not files.
The honest version — including what a sponsor licence does not mean.
A UK employer holding a Home Office sponsor licence is legally allowed to hire overseas workers on routes like Skilled Worker. Without a licence, they cannot sponsor your visa — no matter how much they like your CV.
No — and this matters. A licence means they can sponsor, not that they will. Always confirm sponsorship is on offer for the specific role before you invest time in an application.
