Check a job offer

Paste an offer, an email or a recruiter’s message. We put it next to the public records: the sponsor register, Companies House, where the email came from, and what GOV.UK says to look out for. Free, and you don’t need an account.

What we check

Money and promisesRequests for fees, how payment is asked for, promised visas
ContactThe sender’s address and links, against the employer’s own website
The registerWhether the employer holds a sponsor licence, and its history
Companies HouseWhether the company exists, and whether a quoted number is theirs

What we never do

We never judge a message. We show what each record says, with its date and source, and you decide.

Before you pay anyone

A licensed sponsor pays for your certificate of sponsorship itself. GOV.UK says a sponsor can lose its licence for asking a worker to pay it. GOV.UK

A UK recruitment agency should never charge you a fee for finding work. GOV.UK

Where to report

Report Fraud for visa and job scams. Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate for an agency charging fees.
