Does the list match the adverts?
A list says an employer can sponsor. Its own adverts say whether a role will. Here is how the two compare, country by country.
- US: on the list, but 2 of 80 open adverts say the role cannot be sponsored. A listed employer does not sponsor every role.
- Ireland: on the list, and none of its 3 open adverts say either way. Ask the employer before you apply.
- DE: 5 open adverts on its careers board, and not on the government list we check.
