International recruitment resources compared
Resource	Best for	Coverage	Limitation to remember
Interstride Visa Insights	Filtering jobs and internships by work authorisation or visa type	Candidate-focused visa and career information	Availability and access can depend on the service or institution
MyVisaJobs	Researching H-1B and Green Card sponsor history	US employer, occupation, and sponsorship reports	Historical data does not confirm a current opening will sponsor
H1B Grader	Comparing US sponsorship and wage records	US employer, job-title, city, and wage data	US-specific records need role-level verification
USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub	Checking official H-1B petition history	US employers, locations, and fiscal years	It is an official dataset, not a live job board or approval guarantee
Boundless International Recruiting Guide	Planning an international recruitment process	Employer guidance from planning through onboarding	General guidance must be adapted to each jurisdiction
WHR Global Relocation Toolbox	Planning relocation policy and delivery	Employer relocation tools and managed services	Service scope, geography, and pricing require direct confirmation

Choose resources by task: live-role discovery, employer verification, official evidence, recruitment process design, or relocation delivery. No single source covers all five, and historical sponsorship evidence never guarantees that a current role will sponsor.

Sponsorship databases for jobseekers

Use sponsorship databases together to build a targeted shortlist, then verify the current role and policy. See also our best websites for visa sponsorship jobs.

Official government data

The USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub is the authoritative US source on employers that filed H-1B petitions, broken down by employer, location, and fiscal year.

Other countries publish their own registers, for example, the UK maintains a public register of licensed sponsors. Official sources are the most reliable signal that an employer genuinely sponsors, though policies can still change role to role.

Guides for employers

The Boundless International Recruiting Guide offers step-by-step guidance on recruiting across borders, planning, writing job descriptions, advertising, and onboarding, and emphasises that international recruiting now leverages a genuinely global talent pool.

If you are an employer, pair it with our how to hire international talent walkthrough and the employer sponsorship & mobility resources page.

Relocation and mobility tools

Global mobility consultants such as WHR Global provide relocation management, immigration assistance, policy design, and cost-estimator tools. These reduce the strain of a move and can include services like temporary housing, movers, and cultural training.

On Global Sponsor Hub, compare listed providers in the specialist listings, verify their credentials, and learn when to involve a specialist.

Questions

Are these resources free?

Many offer free tiers or public data (for example the USCIS Data Hub), while some databases and relocation services are paid or employer-focused. Check each provider for current pricing.

I'm a jobseeker, not an employer, which should I start with?

Start with the sponsorship databases (Interstride, MyVisaJobs, H1B Grader) to build a target list of employers that have sponsored before, then check those companies' own career pages.

Do these replace official immigration advice?

No. They are research tools. For eligibility and filings, rely on official government sources and, where needed, a regulated immigration adviser.
