It does not list named employers, filing counts, or job offers. Occupations first. Public registers second. No invented employers. This hub is occupations-first. We publish public-register summaries (for example the UK worker sponsor CSV) and occupation planning pages. We do not invent employer names or claim a listing is a job offer.

This hub publishes occupation planning pages and, where a public file exists, a short summary of that file. It does not invent company names, filing counts the source does not contain, or “featured sponsors” that paid for a listing. WHAT YOU WILL FIND TODAY * Occupation pages for selected destinations (for example civil engineer, software engineer, registered nurse). These describe how sponsorship usually works for that role. They are not job listings and they do not promise that any named company will hire you. * United Kingdom — summary of the Home Office register of licensed worker sponsors (CSV dated 30 October 2026): 127,460 organisations and 143,198 route rows. A row is a licence on a route, not a vacancy. The file has no occupation column, which is why this site does not invent one. * United States — occupations-first pages. Public foreign-labor disclosure files are large. Until a careful employer ETL ships, this hub will not turn those files into thin one-page company profiles. WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND HOW TO USE THIS HUB * Open a destination (UK, US, Canada, and others as they mature). * Open an occupation page if you have a target role. * Read the official register or disclosure source linked on that page. * Apply for real jobs on employer careers pages or regulated job boards — not through a fake directory on MigrantIQ. HONESTY BAR FOR LATER EMPLOYER ROWS When real employer ETL lands, each row will need a public source, a check date, and no invented salary. Until then, occupations-first is the correct product. Selling featured fake companies is explicitly out of scope for this wave. NEXT STEP Start with UK sponsors [/sponsors/united-kingdom/] if you need register counts, or US civil engineer [/sponsors/united-states/civil-engineer/] for an occupations-first example. Then leave this site and apply where real vacancies exist. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a destination country on this hub. 2. Open an occupation page for your role, or a country summary when a public register exists. 3. Follow the official source URL on that page. 4. Treat a sponsor licence as permission to hire, not as a job offer. WHO THIS HELPS * Job seekers who need public-register context * Readers checking occupation-level sponsorship themes * Not people looking for invented company lists EXAMPLES UK REGISTER SIZE The worker and temporary worker CSV dated 30 October 2026 has 127,460 organisations and 143,198 route rows. That is the public file, not a MigrantIQ scrape of job ads. OCCUPATION PAGE A civil engineer page explains licence and role themes. It does not invent an employer that “always sponsors.” WHAT NOT TO DO Do not treat a blog list of “top sponsors” without a dated official source as equal to the register.

IS A REGISTER LISTING A JOB OFFER? No. It means the organisation holds a sponsor licence on that route. WHY OCCUPATIONS-FIRST? Until an employer ETL loads verified rows, occupation pages avoid inventing company profiles. WHERE IS THE UK REGISTER? GOV.UK publishes the register of licensed sponsors (workers). See the UK sponsors page for the CSV date we checked. CAN I PAY FOR A FEATURED SPONSOR HERE? No. This hub does not sell featured fake companies.
