The Route Filter: Only Seeing Companies That Match Your Visa

Ensure you are applying to the right organisations. Use the Route Filter to match your specific visa category.

The Route Filter: Only Seeing Companies That Match Your Visa

Not every licensed sponsor is authorized to sponsor every type of visa. To make your job search more efficient, it is essential to use the Route Filter to isolate organisations that match your specific visa requirements.

Common Visa Routes

Our tool allows you to filter the dataset by the most common authorized routes, including:

  • Skilled Worker: The standard route for professional and specialized roles.
  • Global Business Mobility: Typically for internal company transfers or senior roles.
  • Creative Worker: For professionals in the arts, fashion, and entertainment sectors.

Why Filtering Matters

If you are looking for a 'Skilled Worker' visa but apply to a company that is only authorized for 'Creative Worker' roles, your application cannot proceed through the sponsorship process. By engaging the Route Filter from the start, you ensure that every result you see is a viable candidate for your specific visa needs.

Combining the Route Filter with Sector and Location filters allows you to create a highly targeted search that aligns perfectly with your professional background and legal status.
