Some do, and every employer on this page holds a sponsor licence. But most international graduates don't need sponsorship on day one: the Graduate visa gives you 2 years of work without a sponsor if you apply by 31 Dec 2026, or 18 months if you apply later (3 years after a PhD). The usual path is to start a scheme on the Graduate visa and switch to a Skilled Worker visa before it runs out. What matters is whether your employer will sponsor you then, so check its visa count before you accept.

Yes. You can apply and accept an offer while studying. Most people then start work on the Graduate visa, which needs no sponsor. If the employer will sponsor you straight away, you can instead switch from your Student visa to a Skilled Worker visa once you've completed your course.
