How This Helps You

If you're currently on a temporary visa (such as F-1 OPT, H-1B, L-1, or others), finding employers who are open to sponsorship is essential. Here’s how this feature benefits your job search: 

Focus Your Search Effectively: Filter for roles where employers have specifically indicated they're open to visa sponsorship. This prevents you from investing time in applications that can't meet your work authorization needs. 
Apply With Greater Confidence: When you see the "Able to Provide Sponsorship" indicator, it means the employer understands and is prepared for the sponsorship process—improving your chances of consideration.
Know What to Expect: Pay attention to specifics in job descriptions. Some employers may indicate which types of sponsorship they offer, such as: 

• H-1B transfers only 
• OPT to H-1B sponsorship 
• Other visa categories

In conclusion, the "Willing to Sponsor" feature on Dice creates a more transparent and efficient job market for everyone involved. For international candidates, it helps identify promising opportunities that align with visa needs. For employers, it expands access to global talent while setting clear expectations from the start. By utilizing this feature effectively, both parties can save time and connect more meaningfully in today's competitive tech landscape.
