What is the difference between an H-1B employer record and a UK sponsor licence?

The two signals answer different questions, so read them differently.

Each of these reads more into a record than it holds:

• Treating H-1B approvals as an offer: they count past petitions for every kind of role at the employer.
• Treating a certified Labor Condition Application as an approved H-1B: an LCA is a Department of Labor step, not a USCIS approval.
• Treating a UK licence as a sponsored vacancy: the licence lets the employer sponsor; each role is still the employer's decision and must meet the Skilled Worker rules.
• Treating not matched as never: both of our matches are by name and miss some employers.

For either country, the posting's own wording is what applies to that vacancy. A posting that says it will not sponsor means it, whatever the record or the register shows.

How we matched: the employer of each UK role on realanalystjobs.com on 9 November 2026 is compared with the Home Office Register of licensed sponsors: workers (register of 27 October 2026, 122,657 organisations on the Skilled Worker and Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker routes). A match needs a hand-checked alias or an exact match on a distinctive name; there is no fuzzy guessing, so some licensed employers are missed. Only roles located in the UK are counted.

Every number on this page is computed from the live analyst roles on realanalystjobs.com on 9 November 2026, read from the employers' own career pages and re-checked daily, and it updates as roles open and close. H-1B figures come from the USCIS H-1B Employer Data Hub (data as of 2026-06-30). Nothing is estimated or projected.
