About us
Job hunting is hard enough. Needing a visa should not make it impossible.
Most job boards were built for people who already have the right to work. If you need sponsorship, you find that out at the worst possible moment: after the CV, after the cover letter, sometimes after two rounds of interviews. One line in an email and weeks of effort are gone.
Pebble Jobs exists to move that answer to the very start. Every role we show has been checked for whether the employer can and will sponsor a work visa, so the shortlist you see is a shortlist you can actually apply to.
The problem we are solving
Sponsorship information is scattered. Government registers list which companies hold a licence but say nothing about who is hiring. Job boards list openings but rarely say anything reliable about visas. Filters that claim to show sponsored roles are usually keyword guesses, and they are wrong often enough to waste your time.
So candidates end up doing the work by hand: search a role, open a listing, read the small print, cross-check the employer, repeat. It takes hours a week and it still misses the good roles that never make it onto the big boards.
How Pebble Jobs works
- You search in plain English. Type what you actually want, like "software engineer roles in Sydney that sponsor visas", and we work out the role, the city and the country for you.
- We look in more than one place. Alongside the big boards we pull openings straight from employer career pages, which is where a lot of sponsorship-friendly roles quietly sit.
- Every listing gets checked. We read the posting for what the employer says about sponsorship, and we cross-check the company against official sponsor data for that country. If the employer states sponsorship clearly, that counts. If a posting says sponsorship is not available, it is filtered out.
- You see the verdict up front. Each role carries its sponsorship status, so you can decide in seconds whether it is worth your afternoon.
How this compares to the alternatives
There are three ways people usually look for sponsored work. Here is what each one actually gives you.
| Pebble Jobs | Generic job boards | Static sponsor lists | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company and job lists | Real-time updated company and job lists per search | Live jobs, no sponsorship context | Company names only, no jobs |
| Sponsorship check | Job description read for sponsorship wording, in both directions | Keyword filter that matches the word visa either way | None at job level |
| Employer verification | Cross-referenced against country-specific sponsorship records | Not attempted | That is the whole list, and it goes stale |
| Roles that refuse sponsorship | Filtered out | Shown alongside everything else | Not applicable |
| When you learn the answer | Sponsorship status shown before you click | After applying, sometimes after interviews | You still have to search for the job yourself |
| Employer career pages | Included, alongside the major boards | Partially, whatever the board indexes | No |
| Where you apply | Directly on the original posting | Directly, or through the board | You go and find it |
Where we cover
The United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, the three markets where sponsorship rules are well documented and where most of the people who wrote to us are trying to move. We would rather do three countries properly than twenty badly.
What we believe
Talent is spread evenly around the world and opportunity is not. Someone qualified for a job should not lose it to paperwork they were never told about. We cannot change immigration policy, but we can make sure you spend your energy on the roles that are genuinely open to you.
We are still early, and we read every piece of feedback. If a listing looks wrong, tell us. It makes the next search better for everyone.
