Transcript

The narration, word for word. The narration uses a synthetic voice.

The salary the advert left out (0:00)

This advert gives no salary. The job page still shows the minimum for it: fifty six thousand five hundred pounds a year. Here's how the jobs page checks each advert against the sponsor register, and how to check your CV against it.

The jobs page (0:18)

Every job here comes from somewhere else: Reed, Adzuna, NHS Jobs, and employers' own job sites. Each advert is checked against the sponsor register and the Skilled Worker rules. GOV.UK describes the visa in one sentence: an eligible job, with an approved employer. Pay matters too. Today there are three thousand one hundred and sixty one live listings. One thousand two hundred and sixty four could be sponsored, and a hundred and ten meet the rules.

Reading the labels (0:50)

The list opens on Could be sponsored. That means the advert and the rules don't rule the job out. Amber means Check first. The advert leaves something open, like the salary, and the job page shows what to check. Green means Meets the rules: licensed employer, eligible job, salary above the minimum. Pick Meets the rules to see only those, a hundred and ten today. All adverts shows every listing. Jobs that can't be sponsored for a new visa get a red label. Filters narrow the list by town, job type and minimum salary. Permanent jobs in London that could be sponsored come to forty three today.

Inside a job page (1:32)

Let's open one: a community staff nurse job in Macclesfield, with East Cheshire NHS Trust, paying thirty two thousand and seventy three to thirty nine thousand and forty three pounds. The page asks one question. Can this job be sponsored? Here, Meets the published rules. The trust holds an A rated Skilled Worker licence, and the job reads as registered community nurses, an eligible occupation. For pay, the page says the minimum is set by the national pay scale, such as NHS bands or teachers' pay scales. GOV.UK says the same. In some healthcare and education jobs, the going rate is based on national pay scales. Each line links to its source on GOV.UK. Every check ends with the same note: whether you can be sponsored also depends on your own circumstances, such as your age and visa history. Beside it is the employer's entry on the register, and a full employer check for two pounds ninety nine. There's a separate video on that.

When the advert gives no salary (2:36)

For most other jobs, GOV.UK says you'll usually need at least forty one thousand seven hundred pounds a year, or the going rate for your job, whichever is higher. This project manager advert gives no salary, so it's marked Check first. The page shows the minimum, fifty six thousand five hundred pounds, GOV.UK's going rate for occupation code two four four zero. Now a red one. The employer holds a licence, but the advert says the role needs full working rights in England, without current or future sponsorship. The page quotes that line.

Check your CV against the job (3:14)

Each job page has a Check my CV button. It opens the CV checker with the advert filled in. Here it warns that the job board only shares a summary, and suggests pasting the full advert. Or start on the CV checker itself. Search sponsored jobs, paste any advert, or pick No job yet. Then add a PDF or Word file, up to five megabytes. The check is free and needs no account. We won't upload a real CV here, so this is the example on the CV checker page. Every note is pinned to a line. Teal marks a line that could be stronger. Pink marks something a UK recruiter would change. On the left are the match score, the sponsorship wording quoted from the advert, and whether the employer is on the Home Office register. In a paid report, you edit the CV on A four pages and download it as Word. An AI rewrite that claims something your CV never said, like leading a team, arrives unticked and flagged.

What it costs (4:17)

The free check gives you your score for the advert and the gaps we found. To unlock every fix written out, a one-time report is ninety nine pence. A job pack is one pound ninety nine, saved in your account for thirty days. Five job packs are five pounds ninety nine. Prices show in your local currency, and nothing renews. We never store the file you upload. The text read from it is kept for two hours on a free check, sixty minutes after a one-time report, or thirty days with a signed-in job pack. And it isn't immigration advice. The checker comments on your CV. For your own case, the page points you to a registered adviser or a solicitor.

Before you apply (5:01)

Adverts come from other job boards, so each job page ends with a reminder: ask the employer to confirm they will sponsor the role before you apply. On a phone, the list works the same way. That's the jobs page and the CV checker. Try them on the next advert you find.
