What is the Register of Licensed Sponsors?

Where can I find a list of companies that can sponsor a visa in the UK? This page is that list. It mirrors the Home Office's official register of every UK company licensed to sponsor a work visa, covering Skilled Worker, Health and Care Worker, and other sponsored routes. Search by company name, or filter by industry, visa route, location, or recent hiring to find the sponsors that matter to you.
How do I check if a company is on the Register of Licensed Sponsors? Type the employer's name into the search box above.

No profile means they're either not licensed or have been removed from the register.

The difference is what you can do with it: search by keyword, filter by industry and visa route, and see live jobs, salary data, and past visa issuance volumes for each sponsor.
