About EuropeVisaJobs & How We Check

How EuropeVisaJobs Compares to Other Tech Job Boards

How EuropeVisaJobs Differs from LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor

General job boards like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor index millions of roles without structured verification of work permit eligibility. International engineers routinely spend hours applying to roles on LinkedIn only to discover that the company holds no UK Skilled Worker or Dutch IND sponsor licence, or that the listing was posted by a third-party staffing agency harvesting resumes. EuropeVisaJobs excludes all recruitment agencies and anonymous stealth listings, links every role directly to the employer's own Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, or Personio board, and shows the exact government register record or visa policy quote upfront.

How EuropeVisaJobs Differs from Relocate.me, Honeypot, and GermanTechJobs

Niche boards such as Relocate.me, Honeypot, and GermanTechJobs have helped engineers relocate to Europe for years, but they primarily rely on employers manually posting roles or self-reporting a relocation tag, which limits coverage to a smaller set of paying companies or a single country. EuropeVisaJobs continuously crawls the public ATS job boards of hundreds of leading European and global tech companies every day, cross-referencing them against official UK, Dutch, Irish, and Danish government sponsor registers and full-text policy statements across 13 countries.

Direct Government Register Cross-Checking vs Self-Reported Tags

A job board's self-reported "visa sponsorship" checkbox is never sufficient on its own to be listed on EuropeVisaJobs. Every listing must pass both our negative-clause veto filter (which drops roles requiring existing right to work or security clearance) and at least one positive proof check: an active match on an official government sponsor register or an explicit sentence in the job description offering visa sponsorship or relocation assistance.

How a role gets listed

1. We read employers' own job boards every day.

   Public boards on Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable and Personio, plus the Arbeitnow job board. We keep tech roles in Europe and exclude staffing agencies and stealth placeholders.

2. We look for verifiable evidence.

   In the UK, the Netherlands, Ireland and Denmark we match the employer's name to the official sponsor register. In every country we read the posting for wording about visas, work permits, the EU Blue Card or relocation help. Postings that say they cannot sponsor, or that hedge, are left out.

3. We check again the next day.

   A role that closes or is replaced on the employer's board is removed on the next run. We also check random samples by hand; the latest result is above.

Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and most other countries have no open sponsor register, so roles there are listed only when the posting itself offers a visa or relocation help.

Open data & AI agent readiness

All 1,065 current listings are in the JSON feed and queryable via /api/jobs, free to use with a link back. We also publish open employer datasets (JSON and CSV), an AI Agent Integration Guide (/ai/agent), llms.txt, a complete single-file llms-full.txt corpus, per-employer visa profiles, country sponsor guides, and a sitemap.

Limits

Name matching and text reading are automatic and can get things wrong; the hand check above shows how often. A sponsor licence does not guarantee that a given role meets the salary or skill rules. Always confirm sponsorship with the employer before you rely on it. This is not legal or immigration advice.
