What Is VisaViz?

VisaViz is an end-to-end sponsorship intelligence platform that helps international students, OPT participants, and H-1B professionals identify US employers with a verified history of sponsoring work visas, match with the roles they are most competitive for, and apply to them with tailored materials.

It exists because the international job search has a problem that no general job board solves: the sponsorship question. Candidates spend hundreds of hours applying to companies that will never sponsor them, researching employers manually, tailoring documents one by one, and tracking applications across spreadsheets. That is time that could be spent developing skills, preparing for interviews, and building the experience that actually makes a candidate stand out.

VisaViz is built to give that time back.

Two Ways to Use VisaViz

VisaViz is built around two distinct products that serve different needs. Both are grounded in the same government-sourced data, but they represent fundamentally different relationships with the job search process.

The VisaViz Intelligence Dashboard: Free

The Intelligence Dashboard is free to access and requires no subscription. It gives every international candidate direct access to the same government-sourced sponsorship data that immigration attorneys and enterprise HR teams use internally, covering 146,410 active sponsoring employers and 3.7 million LCA filings between 2020 and 2026.

With the free dashboard you can research any employer, check their filing history and denial rate, see which roles they sponsor, benchmark wages, and understand where sponsorship is concentrated by location and industry. It is a powerful research tool that gives you capabilities no job board currently offers.

What it does not do is make the decisions for you, apply on your behalf, identify the skills you need to improve, or curate a verified list of roles you are actually competitive for. That is what the platform is for.

The Intelligence Dashboard is free. No subscription required, no paywall on the data. Search any employer and access their full sponsorship history in seconds.

The VisaViz Platform: A Purpose-Built Job Search for International Students

The VisaViz platform is not a more automated version of what you can do with the free dashboard. It is a fundamentally different experience of the job search itself.

When you use the VisaViz platform, you are not searching a general job board and then trying to figure out which listings might lead to sponsorship. You are working inside a curated environment where every role has already been verified against real employer sponsorship data. The sponsorship question is answered before you ever see a listing. What remains is finding the right fit for you.

The platform matches you to the roles you are most competitive for based on your profile, experience, and visa status. It identifies the specific skills you should be developing to raise your match score and stand out against other candidates. It tailors your resume to each specific role. It applies on your behalf. It tracks every application. And it keeps you informed on the visa and immigration developments that directly affect your options.

The most important shift the platform creates is not time saved on applications. It is what you do with that time instead. Rather than spending hours researching employers, tailoring documents, and submitting applications manually, you can direct that energy toward the work that actually makes you a stronger candidate. VisaViz handles the repetition. You focus on the development.

The paid platform is not just automation. It is a different job search entirely. One where sponsorship is already solved, roles are matched to your profile, skills gaps are identified, applications run in the background, and your time goes toward becoming a better candidate rather than managing a spreadsheet.

What Each Product Covers

The free dashboard gives you the research layer. The paid platform gives you a curated, personalised, end-to-end job search built specifically for international students.

Why International Students Struggle to Find H-1B Sponsoring Jobs

For most job seekers, the challenge is finding the right opportunity. For international students, there is a prior challenge: knowing which opportunities are realistically accessible.

VisaViz research shows that international students submit more than 400 applications on average before receiving an offer. Nearly half of those go to employers with no meaningful history of sponsoring international talent, representing more than 50 hours of wasted effort per candidate. Across the more than one million international job seekers navigating this process annually, the cumulative cost is enormous.

The problem is not a shortage of sponsoring employers. Thousands of US companies sponsor international talent every year. The problem is that sponsorship information has historically been buried in government databases, and even when candidates find it, acting on it efficiently, matching it to their profile, applying with tailored materials, tracking progress, and identifying the skills needed to improve, requires a workflow that no general job board provides.

Why Traditional Job Boards Fall Short for International Students

Platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Handshake are excellent tools for discovering job openings. They were not designed to answer the question that matters most to candidates requiring sponsorship: does this employer actually sponsor, and am I competitive for this role?

Beyond the information gap, general job boards leave candidates to manage the entire process manually: researching employers, evaluating sponsorship history, tailoring resumes, submitting applications, tracking progress, and trying to understand what skills to develop. For international students already managing visa timelines and academic commitments, that workload is unsustainable and leaves very little time for the development work that would make them stronger candidates.

How the VisaViz Platform Works

The platform is built around eight core capabilities. The first two are also available through the free Intelligence Dashboard. The rest are platform-only.

1. Sponsorship Intelligence Engine (Free and Platform)

Aggregates historical H-1B filings and LCA data to show which employers sponsor, how often, for which roles, and in which locations. Available free through the Intelligence Dashboard. On the platform, this intelligence is embedded directly into the role discovery experience, so every listing you see is already verified.

2. Salary and Labour Market Intelligence (Free and Platform)

Prevailing wage data and labour market trends by occupation, industry, and geography. Available free through the dashboard and integrated into the platform's matching and negotiation tools.

3. Curated Pre-Verified Role Database (Platform)

Every role in the platform has been verified against real employer sponsorship data before it reaches you. You are not filtering a general job board. You are browsing a database where the sponsorship question is already answered.

4. Personalised Job Match Score (Platform)

Each opportunity is scored based on your profile, experience, visa status, and role preferences. This tells you how competitive you are for a specific role before you invest time in it, and helps you prioritise where to focus.

5. Skills Gap Analysis (Platform)

VisaViz identifies the specific skills that would improve your match score across your target roles. Rather than applying more, you can focus on becoming stronger for the roles that matter. This is the feature that shifts the job search from a volume exercise to a development exercise.

6. Resume Builder (Platform)

A profile-aware resume creation tool that tailors your resume to each specific role rather than producing a generic document. Every application goes out optimised for the position it is targeting.

7. Automated Application Submission (Platform)

VisaViz applies to roles on your behalf, within limits and preferences you control. You choose your target roles, locations, salary requirements, and visa needs. The platform handles the submission work, factoring in application timing to prioritise fresh listings before competition increases.

8. Application Tracker and Growth Analytics (Platform)

A Kanban-style dashboard giving you a complete view of all submitted applications. The Growth and Progress feature adds deeper analytics, tracking momentum, identifying where you are losing ground, and providing personalised recommendations to continuously improve your results.

Who VisaViz Is For

F-1 Students Seeking Internships and Full-Time Roles

Use the free dashboard to research employers before applying. Use the platform to enter a curated environment of pre-verified sponsoring roles, get matched to the opportunities you are most competitive for, build the skills that raise your match score, and let the platform handle the application workflow while you focus on becoming a stronger candidate.

OPT and STEM OPT Participants

On OPT, every week of your unemployment clock matters. The platform gives you a pre-verified role database, personalised matching, and automated applications so you are moving quickly on the right opportunities rather than spending that time on employers who will never sponsor. The skills gap feature is particularly valuable for OPT holders who want to use their window to develop professionally as well as search.

H-1B Professionals Seeking a Transfer

Use the free dashboard to evaluate prospective employers before engaging with them. Use the platform to access pre-verified roles at employers with strong sponsorship track records, matched to your experience and transfer requirements.

International Professionals Seeking US Sponsorship

The platform gives professionals approaching the US market from abroad a starting point that removes the uncertainty of the sponsorship question entirely. Every role you engage with has already been verified.

What Makes VisaViz Different

Sponsorship is solved before you start, not figured out as you go

On a general job board, determining whether an employer sponsors is something you have to research for every listing. On the VisaViz platform, that work is already done. Every role in the database has been verified. You start from a position of certainty rather than uncertainty.

The data is free.

VisaViz does not put sponsorship intelligence behind a paywall. The underlying data is accessible for free through the Intelligence Dashboard. What the platform adds is a complete, curated, personalised job search experience built specifically around the needs and constraints of international candidates.

Development over repetition

The most distinctive thing about the VisaViz platform is what it does with your time. By handling the research, applications, and tracking, it removes the repetitive work from your day. The skills gap feature then directs your attention toward the development activities that will genuinely improve your outcomes. This is a job search that gets better the more you invest in yourself.

Built for international workflows specifically

Visa status filtering, LCA-based employer verification, OPT timeline awareness, cap-exempt employer identification: every part of the platform is designed around the specific constraints of international candidates, not adapted from a general tool that was built for someone else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the VisaViz Intelligence Dashboard really free?

Yes. The Intelligence Dashboard is free to access with no subscription required. It covers 146,410 employers and 3.7 million LCA filings, giving you full access to sponsorship history, denial rates, wage data, role breakdowns, and geographic trends for any employer in the dataset.

Q: What does the paid VisaViz platform add beyond the free dashboard?

The platform adds a curated database of pre-verified sponsoring roles, personalised job match scores based on your profile and fit, a skills gap analysis that identifies what to develop to stand out, a resume builder tailored to each role, automated application submission, an application tracker, and growth analytics. The key difference is not just automation. The platform gives you a different job search entirely, one where sponsorship is already solved and your time goes toward development rather than repetition.

Q: Does VisaViz show which companies sponsor H-1B visas?

Yes, through both the free dashboard and the platform. VisaViz aggregates USCIS H-1B filing data and DOL LCA records to show which employers have sponsored international talent, how frequently, and which roles they file for.

Q: Can VisaViz apply to jobs on my behalf?

Yes, through the paid platform. You set your preferences for target roles, locations, salary range, and visa requirements. VisaViz applies to pre-verified sponsor-friendly roles within those limits. You stay in full control and can adjust or pause at any time.

Q: What is the skills gap analysis feature?

The skills gap analysis identifies the specific skills that would improve your match score across your target roles. Rather than applying more broadly, you can focus your development time on the areas that would make you a stronger candidate for the roles that matter most. This is one of the features that most distinctly separates VisaViz from any other job search tool.

Q: Can international students on F-1 OPT use VisaViz?

Yes. Both the free dashboard and the paid platform are designed for F-1 students, OPT and STEM OPT participants, and H-1B professionals. The platform filters and matches opportunities based on your specific visa status and sponsorship pathway.

Q: Is VisaViz only useful for technology jobs?

No. VisaViz covers sponsorship data and pre-verified roles across all industries including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, consulting, retail, and research.

Q: How accurate is the sponsorship data?

VisaViz draws directly from USCIS and DOL public records filed under legal obligation. These are the most reliable publicly available indicators of actual employer sponsorship behaviour, not self-reported claims or job board descriptions.
