# Tarve > Tarve helps international professionals find UK visa-sponsored jobs and understand UK Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. We publish data-led, regularly-updated guides on salary thresholds, going rates, the Immigration Salary List, sponsor licences, and processing times. All figures are sourced from gov.uk and the Home Office and dated on each page. Tarve is an independent information and job-search service, not a regulated immigration adviser. Guides are for information only; official rules are at gov.uk. ## Live sponsored jobs (public pages) - [Browse verified visa-sponsored UK jobs](https://tarve.co.uk/jobs): 17,000+ live jobs, every employer checked against the Home Office Skilled Worker sponsor register;
