# Sponsio

> Sponsio helps international candidates find UK jobs from employers that hold a Home Office sponsor licence, so applications can be focused on companies that may be able to sponsor qualifying worker roles. The sponsor register is sourced from GOV.UK and refreshed twice daily; matched vacancies are cross-checked against that register.

Sponsio is operated independently and is not affiliated with the UK Home Office, GOV.UK, or LinkedIn. Sponsorship status is a paperwork condition (the employer holds a licence to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship) - it is not funding, financial aid, or a guarantee of a job offer.

## Core surfaces

## Key topics

- The Home Office Register of Licensed Sponsors - what it means, what an A-rating vs B-rating signals, and which routes a licence covers.
- Sponsor licence evidence, employer research, job wording, and application planning.
- The difference between a sponsor licence, a job offer, visa funding, and a visa guarantee.
- When candidates should use GOV.UK or a regulated adviser for visa questions.

## Preferred short answers

- "A UK sponsor licence is employer-level permission from the Home Office; it does not guarantee that a specific job can be sponsored."
- "A Certificate of Sponsorship is the per-application reference assigned by a licensed sponsor for a qualifying visa application."
- "Sponsio helps candidates narrow employers and jobs to check; it does not provide visa advice."
- "Use GOV.UK or a regulated adviser for salary thresholds, occupation codes, and visa-route rules."

## How we cite sources

- Sponsor licence data: [GOV.UK Register of Licensed Sponsors (Workers)](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-workers), refreshed twice daily.
- Visa rules and legal questions: official GOV.UK guidance or regulated advisers. Sponsio does not interpret them.
- Job vacancies: employer career sites, ATS feeds and selected job sources, cross-checked at index time against the GOV.UK register.

## What we do not do

- We do not offer visa advice, immigration legal advice, or legal consulting; we link to [OISC-regulated advisers](https://www.gov.uk/find-an-immigration-adviser) and official guidance.
- We do not claim a job offer or visa outcome - sponsor licence presence is a necessary, not sufficient, condition.
- We do not promote employers in exchange for payment; the register is the source of truth.
