Finding employers that actually sponsor
Landing a role abroad starts with finding employers who sponsor work visas, then applying to enough of them, consistently, before the listings close.
For roles in California, we prioritise employers with a record of sponsoring international hires, tailor your resume to sponsorship-eligible roles, and apply to the ones you approve. Sponsorship is always the employer's decision; we do not issue visas or guarantee sponsorship.
Sponsor-aware sourcing
Roles from employers known to sponsor are prioritised and flagged.
Applied before they close
Sponsored roles fill fast, so fresh postings go to the top of your list.
Honest framing
We say clearly what we can and cannot influence.
US sponsorship, in practice
How US work visas shape which roles we send you
For an H-1B, the employer files the petition, and most employers are subject to an annual cap decided by lottery. Universities, nonprofit research organizations and some other employers are exempt from the cap and can file at any time of year.
Other routes depend on who you are: the O-1 for people with an exceptional record, the L-1 for transfers within a company, the TN for Canadian and Mexican professionals and the E-3 for Australians. Rules and fees change, so check uscis.gov for the current position.
Employers with a record
Past H-1B filings are public record. Employers that have sponsored before go to the top of your list.
Postings that rule it out
Roles that say they will not sponsor are left off your list.
Students on OPT
Tell us your OPT or STEM OPT dates and we look for employers that can take you now and sponsor later.
What we cannot do
We do not file petitions or give immigration advice. Sponsorship is the employer's decision.
How it works
You approve. We apply. Every week.

What applies across the United States
If you searched for someone to apply for jobs for you, a resume and job application service, or a reverse recruiter in California, you are in the right place. Here is how it works for candidates there.
California is the largest state job market in the US and the most competitive: software and hardware companies across Silicon Valley and San Francisco, biotech in South San Francisco and San Diego, entertainment and media in Los Angeles, and large healthcare, aerospace and public-sector employers statewide.
Applicant volumes for well-known employers are enormous, so applications have to be fast and precisely matched. We source across the Bay Area, Los Angeles and San Diego, tailor a US-format resume to each posting and apply to the roles you approve.
Work rights and visas
- Citizens, green card holders and others with work authorisation can apply anywhere.
- Candidates abroad usually need an employer willing to sponsor an H-1B, which is lottery-based, or another employer-sponsored visa such as an O-1 or L-1.
Resume conventions in California
- Called a resume, one to two pages.
- No photo, age, nationality or marital status.
- Results-led bullet points with numbers.
- Many applications ask work-authorisation questions directly, so answer them accurately.
Where people apply
- LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Workday and Greenhouse company portals
Hiring calendar
- Hiring is strongest from January to April and September to early November. It slows around the July holidays and from mid-December.
How we help in California
We match roles to your work authorisation, so you only approve roles you can legally take, and we handle the long portal forms common with US employers.
Sectors we see hiring most: Technology, Entertainment and media, Life sciences, Healthcare, Aerospace.
Sponsorship route
H-1B, O-1, and employer-sponsored US work visas
California's tech sector is a major H-1B sponsor — applying early and widely to genuine sponsoring employers matters.
Sponsorship is always the employer's decision. We do not issue visas or guarantee sponsorship.
Questions
Before you start
Anything else? Email support@pbridgeco.com and our team will come back to you.
Can you get me an H-1B visa?
No. Only an employer can file the petition. We put your applications in front of employers that have sponsored before.
Do you apply to US roles that say no sponsorship?
Not if you need sponsorship. Those roles are left off your weekly list.
Can you guarantee sponsorship?
No. Sponsorship is the employer's decision. We improve your odds by targeting genuine sponsoring employers and applying consistently.
Do you only apply in California?
No. We cover San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego and the rest of California, and you can add any other location in the United States or abroad to your targets at any time.
Do you apply to roles that need US work authorisation?
We filter by the authorisation you tell us you have. If you need sponsorship, we prioritise employers known to sponsor, but sponsorship is always the employer's decision.
Will you write a US-style resume?
Yes. One to two pages, no photo or personal details, and tailored to each posting.
Do you handle Workday and other portal applications?
Yes. We complete the full form for every role you approve, including screening questions.
Is it allowed to have someone apply for me?
Yes. Applications are made in your name, with your real experience and documents, and you approve every role before we apply. Employers hire you directly.
