The Real Problem

A licence on the register
means nothing on its own

78% of listed companies haven't issued a single CoS this year. You'd only discover this at the first-round interview — after hours of applications.

🚫

Licence ≠ Active Sponsorship

Most companies on the Home Office register haven't actually used their licence. Sponzza checks the CoS history, not just the list.

⚠️

Salary Traps Are Invisible

The going rate varies by SOC code and entry level. Most job ads won't tell you if they pass the threshold — until it's too late.

Manual Research Is a Job in Itself

Cross-referencing the register, pulling FOI data, calculating thresholds — it takes 20+ minutes per company before you write a word.

📋

Forms Never Get Easier

Name, address, visa status, right to work — asked 50 times. Smart Autofill fills it all in one click, across every job board.

From Graduate visa to offer letter

"

I was applying to 15 roles a week and going nowhere. Sponzza showed me 9 of them had zero CoS history. Cut my list to 6 and landed 3 first-round interviews in two weeks.

The salary check alone is worth it. I nearly applied somewhere where the pay was below the going rate for my SOC code. Sponzza flagged it before I spent 2 hours on the form.

Smart Autofill is genuinely life-changing. The visa and right-to-work questions used to take me ages to double check. Now I'm done before the coffee goes cold.

FAQ

Questions you'll have

No — and this is exactly the gap Sponzza closes. Being on the Home Office register means a company can sponsor. Whether they actually do depends on their CoS history. Sponzza shows you the real data, not just the licence status.
Sponzza is built for Skilled Worker visa holders and international graduates on Graduate visas already in the UK. We cover the Skilled Worker and Graduate routes, with ICT route data included in company profiles.
Currently Sponzza runs on LinkedIn Jobs. Smart Autofill works across LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed, and most ATS-based application pages including Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever. More boards are added based on user requests.
The Home Office publishes an updated sponsor register near-daily and Sponzza ingests it automatically. CoS volume data comes from periodic FOI requests and is updated whenever new data is released.
A Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is the document a company must assign to you before you can apply for or extend a Skilled Worker visa. The number of CoS a company has historically issued tells you whether they actually use their licence — not just hold it.
Your personal information for Smart Autofill is stored locally on your device, never on our servers. We don't sell your data. The extension requires only the minimum permissions needed to read job page content and fill forms.

Your next sponsoring role
is one check away

Stop discovering deal-breakers at interview. Know the company genuinely sponsors — and the salary clears the threshold — before you write a word.
