## What it is
|
|
|
|
The Visa Sponsors page lets you search the UK Home Office licensed sponsor register from inside JobOps.
|
|
|
|
For each company, it shows:
|
|
|
|
- Match score against your query
|
|
- Company location (when available)
|
|
- Licensed routes and type/rating details
|
|
- Last data refresh time and sponsor count
|
|
|
|
## Why it exists
|
|
|
|
Many roles require sponsorship-ready employers. This page helps you quickly validate whether a target company appears on the official sponsor list, so you can prioritize applications and sourcing terms.
|
|
|
|
## How to use it
|
|
|
|
1. Open **Visa Sponsors** in the app.
|
|
2. Enter a company name in the search box.
|
|
3. Select a result to view sponsor details.
|
|
4. Use the score and route details to decide whether to prioritize that employer.
|
|
|
|
### Refresh schedule
|
|
|
|
- Automatic update runs daily at about **02:00** (server local time).
|
|
- Use the download/update button in the page header to fetch the latest register immediately.
|
|
|
|
### API examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Search sponsors
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/visa-sponsors/search \
|
|
-H "content-type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"query":"Monzo","limit":100,"minScore":20}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Get one organization's entries (all licensed routes)
|
|
curl "http://localhost:3001/api/visa-sponsors/organization/Monzo%20Bank%20Ltd"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Trigger manual refresh
|
|
curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/visa-sponsors/update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Common problems
|
|
|
|
### No results found
|
|
|
|
- Try alternate legal names (`Ltd`, `Limited`, abbreviations).
|
|
- Reduce spelling strictness by searching a shorter core name.
|
|
|
|
### Sponsor data is empty
|
|
|
|
- Run a manual refresh with the header update button (or `POST /api/visa-sponsors/update`).
|
|
- Check that the server can reach `gov.uk` and `assets.publishing.service.gov.uk`.
|
|
|
|
### Company appears once but has multiple routes
|
|
|
|
- Open the detail panel for that company; route/type entries are shown there.
