At UKHired we are in a fight against bureaucracy and information silos that haunt the UK immigration system. We build world-class software to simplify the job-searching experience for people who need a UK visa. Our site compiles an up to date list of all visa sponsoring jobs in the UK and gives users best-in-class tools to search for jobs based on their visa status.
