Know if a role is worth chasing before the paperwork.
OutRung is a visa sponsorship checker for candidates who need sponsorship: it surfaces role- and employer-level signals early — so you spend serious effort only where the case looks realistic.
The idea
Silence isn't a yes.
Weak guidance treats ambiguity as a maybe and pushes you deeper into forms. This is a triage tool first: spend hours only where the sponsorship case looks realistic enough.
How the triage runs
Surface explicit sponsorship or work-authorisation language straight from the posting.
Look across employer patterns where signals exist — treated as context, not certainty.
Make confidence visible when signals are weak, so silence never reads as a yes.
Turn it into go / caution / skip, so tailoring effort goes where it is realistic.
Honest about ambiguity
Sponsorship is high-stakes, so OutRung never implies certainty where the evidence is partial. The aim is to reduce wasted effort — not to simulate legal advice.
Common questions
What is a visa sponsorship checker?
A planned feature that surfaces sponsorship signals from roles and employers, so you can decide earlier whether an application is worth the effort.
Does it guarantee a company sponsors?
No. It gives practical signals and patterns, not false certainty or legal advice. Decisions stay employer-specific and vary by role, timing and location.
Why make it a dedicated feature?
Because sponsorship uncertainty can change whether the entire application workflow is worth doing at all.
Spend effort where sponsorship looks real.
Filter application effort upstream, with the uncertainty kept visible instead of hidden.
