H-1B job sites and visa databases, compared

A live job board sitting on top of the full DOL filing record. Every listing links to the employer's own application page, and that same employer page carries their H-1B and green-card history, the salaries they filed, and their USCIS approval and denial outcomes. Companies file under many spellings, Amazon alone under 273 of them, so those are merged into one record instead of being scattered across a dozen near-identical names. Everything in the filing data is free to read without an account.

The longest-running database of the group, with an employer record reaching back to 2000. It covers three separate DOL datasets, prevailing wage determinations, H-1B labor condition applications and PERM green-card filings, and pairs them with employer profiles, market reports and a job-posting facility. In December 2025 it added USCIS approval and denial history, so it is no longer a filings-only source. Its profiles also break sponsored workers down by citizenship, university and degree.

A filing database that scores employers on outcomes rather than on volume, combining DOL disclosure data with USCIS approval and denial counts into a letter grade whose bands it publishes. That distinction matters more than most sites admit, because a company can file heavily and still be denied often. It also carries a full PERM green-card section with its own search, plus prevailing-wage tools, and none of it is paywalled: the salary, LCA and USCIS tables are free and need no account.

A single-purpose salary lookup over DOL filing records, and it states its own scope on the homepage rather than leaving you to guess it: more than 4.8 million records between October 2013 and September 2025. You search by employer, job title, city and year, and every result carries a median and a spread. There is no account, no paywall and nothing else on the page. It also prints the caveat most sites skip, that the disclosure data does not show what the employer intended to use a filing for.

The professional network, and the one place on this list where the job listing and the people who could refer you into it sit side by side. Its search covers far more openings than any visa-specific site, and it shows how much competition a role has, including a filter for postings with fewer than ten applicants. What it holds no trace of is sponsorship history, so the standard advice is to find a role here and then check the employer against a filing database.

The widest net of any single job site in the US, aggregating postings from company career sites and applicant tracking systems, with free full-text search and nothing behind a paywall. Its reach extends well outside tech, which matters because visa-focused boards thin out quickly once you leave software. On sponsorship it can only match the wording of a posting, never a filing record, and by its own research very few US postings mention sponsorship at all.

A crowdsourced pay database for tech roles, and the best public answer to what a job actually pays all in, because it separates base, stock and bonus against a company-specific level. A DOL filing structurally cannot show any of that, since it states base salary only. It also runs a free H-1B section built on the same DOL data, holding over 1.3 million filing records across more than 100,000 companies. Submissions can be backed by an offer letter or pay statement, but that proof is optional.
