Verified Sponsor Job Search for H-1B Candidates

H-1B candidates waste applications on roles that look relevant but cannot support sponsorship. The linked job board packages DOL LCA data into verified sponsor discovery, claiming active jobs, sponsor employers, and historical filing records. The opportunity is a candidate workflow that turns sponsor data into an application plan with role fit, filing history, and recruiter outreach.

Overall

Problem Statement

A candidate applies to dozens of roles and only learns late in the process that the employer will not sponsor. Public sponsor history helps, but a static job board still leaves the user comparing LCA records, role fit, location, seniority, and timing across tabs.

The Idea

A verified sponsor job search assistant for H-1B candidates who need to avoid roles that cannot support their visa path.

Why Now

H-1B candidates face more wasted applications as hiring teams, job boards, and ATS listings rarely expose sponsorship reality. The product page shows public LCA data can be packaged into job discovery, but candidates still need prioritization and application workflow support.

Target User

International job seekers in the United States who need H-1B sponsorship or transfer support

Target Market
