How visa sponsorship connects with OpeningsHub

OpeningsHub is a job board. We help candidates and employers find each other in Europe and worldwide, including the United States, but we do not act as a visa sponsor or legal representative.

1
Search for US jobs Use filters and keywords on the USA jobs page. Look for phrases like “visa sponsorship”, “H-2B”, “J-1 program” or “relocation to the USA”.
2
Check the visa type in the job description Each employer or agency should clearly indicate which visa category is used, what conditions apply and who covers fees and housing.
3
Apply directly to the employer or agency Send your CV and follow their instructions. The US employer or a licensed agency is responsible for petitions, contracts and paperwork — not the OpeningsHub platform.
4
