Finds jobs at employers that sponsor
Pulls postings from official public job boards. Each employer is tagged with its visa record from public US government data: H-1B, green card (PERM), E-Verify for STEM OPT, and cap-exempt status.
Free and open source. For international students in the US.
Find employers that sponsor, and send a resume that fits the job.
SponsorJobs runs on your own computer. It finds jobs at employers with real sponsorship records, rewrites your resume for each one without breaking the one-page layout, drafts the cover letter, and helps you practise the interview.
The shared job list is refreshed through the day from public job boards.
What it does
Flags "no sponsorship" postings
Postings that say they will not sponsor are marked before you spend time on them.
Tailors your resume to each job, on one page
Rewords your real experience toward the job's own language, keeps the page from overflowing, and shows which of the job's keywords you cover and which you miss. It never adds a skill to a role where you did not use it.
Drafts the cover letter
And answers to screening questions, written from your own history, for you to edit.
Interview practice
A recorded, scored first-round screen, then a simulated interviewer that asks questions from the actual job description.
Assisted apply
Fills application forms for you to review. You click submit. It never automates LinkedIn and never tries to get around a site's bot protection.
Your data
- Your data stays on your computer. Your profile, resumes, and applications are stored locally. SponsorJobs has no account system and no server that holds them.
- Text goes to the AI provider you choose, with your own key. To write, SponsorJobs sends the relevant text to Anthropic or OpenAI using an API key you create. You pay the provider directly for what you use. SponsorJobs stores none of it.
- The shared job list contains no personal data. It is a list of public job postings plus public government sponsorship records. Your profile is never sent to it.

How to install
Two things first. SponsorJobs typesets your resume with LaTeX, so LaTeX must be installed. And it needs an AI key from Anthropic (recommended) or OpenAI; the first-run setup asks for it and keeps it on your computer.
macOS (Apple Silicon)
- Install LaTeX. In Terminal:
brew install --cask mactex-no-gui - Download the
.dmg, open it, and drag SponsorJobs to Applications. - On first open, macOS will say it cannot verify the developer. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Once.
The app is not yet signed with an Apple Developer certificate, which is why macOS asks.
Windows
- Install LaTeX: MiKTeX. Let it install missing packages on the fly.
- Download
SponsorJobs-Setup.exeand run it. - Windows SmartScreen may warn that the publisher is unknown. Click More info, then Run anyway.
The installer is not yet code-signed, which is why SmartScreen asks.
Free and open source
SponsorJobs is free software under the AGPL-3.0. You can read every line, change it, and share it. It is free because the students who need it most often cannot legally earn money yet.
