A dash is not a finding. We publish sponsorship only where filings show a company has sponsored, and counts only where they are above zero. A dash covers three different situations we do not separate here — no filings found, filings that have lapsed, and employers we have not checked — so it is never evidence that a company will not sponsor. The cohort-wide breakdown is in the panel above. Filings are not hires: a certified Labor Condition Application is the Department of Labor step that precedes a visa petition, so it records an intent to sponsor a role, not a person hired.

This table covers companies whose job board we can read — those using Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby. Large employers on other systems are absent from it entirely, so it is not a ranking of who hires most in this metro, and a company missing from it has not been assessed and found wanting. For sponsorship specifically, the panel below draws on filings alone and does not depend on a job board. Think something here is wrong about your company? Tell us and we will correct it.

Showing the 250 largest of 3,184 employers with certified filings in this metro.

A different population to the table above. This list is drawn from filings alone, so it includes employers with no job board we can read — which is most of them. It is not a hiring signal: a company can file heavily and have nothing open this week. Counts are certified Labor Condition Applications, the Department of Labor step preceding a visa petition, so they record roles a company sought to sponsor rather than people hired. Corrections.

Filed to raise, not raised. A Form D reports an offering — the amount a company registered to sell — not money received, and not a completed round. It is a public filing the company made itself, and every amount here links to it. Filers skew young, so this list reaches companies with no job board we can read; it is a reason to go and look, not evidence that anyone is hiring. Corrections.

Reading the hiring climate

Roles newly posted each week across the tracked cohort — and why the slope is easier to misread than it looks.

Hatched weeks are reconstructed, not observed. They are rebuilt from job boards, which only list roles still open. Roles posted in that week and since filled have vanished from the board, so they are missing from the count.

That loss compounds with age: the further back a week is, the more it under-counts. Which means some of the rise toward the right of this chart is that artifact rather than real growth. A flat true series would still slope upward here.

Only the solid weeks were observed live, week by week, while the service was running. Those are counts, not reconstructions. The series becomes trustworthy as solid weeks accumulate and the hatched ones scroll off the left.

This is a limitation of reading history from a source that only shows the present, not a modelling choice — no amount of processing recovers a posting the board has already dropped. It is reported rather than smoothed away.

Hacker News “Who is hiring?”

How many companies in this metro posted to the monthly Hacker News hiring thread in the last three months.

It is the only figure here that is a company saying so itself. Everything else on this page is observed — roles counted on a job board, filings lodged with the Department of Labor. This is stated intent, published by the company, on a date, in public.

It reaches a different population to the rest of the page. Hacker News posters skew to startups too small or too new to run an applicant-tracking system we poll, so this count moves independently of the job-board table — and a metro can score zero here while hiring heavily.

We publish the number and not the list. This is the one source permitted to create a company record from free text, which is what lets it see those startups at all, and equally what makes the names it produces the least reliable in the system.

Source: the monthly Who is hiring? thread on Hacker News, read through the public Algolia API. Counted per company, not per post.

Open roles

How many positions this company's own public job board listed in this region on the day the page was built.

It is a count of what is on the board, not a count of hiring. A role can sit open for months, be filled the day after we counted it, or be a pipeline posting that never closes. The date at the top of the page is the day this was true; nothing about it updates until the next build.

Only companies whose job board we can read appear at all. We poll Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby. An employer on Workday, Taleo or an in-house portal is missing from this table entirely — in San Francisco that is most of the largest employers in the metro. So this is not a ranking of who hires most here, and a company absent from it has not been assessed and found wanting.

Roles are assigned to a region from the location text on each posting. “San Francisco, CA” is unambiguous; “Bay Area”, “Remote — US” and “Hybrid” are not, and some roles land in the wrong metro or in none.

Source: each company's own public job-board API, read daily. Every count on this page links to the board it was counted on, so the number can be checked against the source in one click.

Certified filings

Labor Condition Applications this employer had certified by the Department of Labor for technology roles in this metro, over the last 12 months.

A certified LCA is the step that precedes a visa petition. It records an employer's intent to sponsor a role at a stated wage and worksite — not a person hired. One filing can cover more than one position, and a filing may never become a petition at all.

Read it as evidence of a sponsorship practice, at roughly the scale the number suggests. It is the most checkable figure on this page: the filings are public, name the employer, and are linked from every row that carries a count.

A dash is not a zero. Counts are published only where they are above zero, and only alongside a positive tier. A dash covers three situations we do not separate in public — no filings found, filings that have lapsed, and employers no filing source has been checked for — so it is never evidence that a company will not sponsor.

Denials are not published at any threshold. Certification is close to a formality and denials are overwhelmingly clerical — a mis-keyed field, a missing signature — so a denial count beside a company's name invites the one inference the data cannot support.

Source: DOL OFLC LCA disclosure data, filtered to technology occupations at worksites in this region. The file is published quarterly, so a filing made this month may not appear for up to three — recent silence in this column is not recent inactivity.

New teams, 8 weeks

Departments this company posted a role into in the last eight weeks, having posted none into them before.

A function opening for the first time is a stronger sign of expansion than backfilling one that already exists — a company hiring its first data-platform or its first APAC sales role is starting something, not replacing someone.

The departments are the company's own labels on its own postings. A board that gets reorganised, or a team that gets renamed, looks from the outside exactly like a new team. Treat this as directional.

It reads high for companies we have only recently started tracking. The measure compares the last eight weeks against everything before them, so where there is no “before”, every department is new. Companies added to the cohort recently will show more here than they have earned.

Only positive counts are published. “Opened no new teams” is a negative claim about a named employer, and a zero reads as a measurement rather than as an absence.

Computed from the same job-board postings as the open-roles count, over a rolling eight weeks. Nothing here comes from a company statement or an announcement.

Visa sponsorship tiers

Whether this employer sponsors work visas, from US Department of Labor filings.

Every H-1B, H-1B1 and E-3 hire begins with a Labor Condition Application (LCA) filed with the Department of Labor. Those filings are public and name the employer, the worksite city, the role's occupation code and the wage. We count certified filings for technology occupations at worksites in this region.

These are tiers, not a score. Given the filings, sponsorship history is close to a matter of record, so a 0–100 number would invent precision that the data does not support.

Established 195 companies in this cohort
10 or more certified filings in the last 12 months
Sponsors routinely and at volume. The safest bet if you need sponsorship.
Active 590 companies in this cohort
3–9 certified filings in the last 12 months
Sponsors regularly, but in smaller numbers — likely role-dependent.
Occasional 2399 companies in this cohort
1–2 filings in the last 12 months, or approvals in the prior year only
Has sponsored, but rarely. Worth asking early in the process.
Lapsed 0 companies in this cohort
Filings exist, but none in the last 24 months
Sponsored in the past and appears to have stopped.
None found 148 companies in this cohort
Employer checked against the filing data; no filings found
We looked and found nothing. This is a real finding — but it is not proof a company will never sponsor, only that it has not filed recently.
Not assessed 0 companies in this cohort
No visa filing source has been checked for this company
We have not looked. This is NOT a statement that the company does not sponsor — it is the absence of a check, and it is deliberately shown differently from “None found”.

“None found” and “Not assessed” are different answers. The first means we checked the filing data and this employer is not in it. The second means no filing source has been checked for them at all. Treating those as the same would mislead exactly the people with the most at stake, so the service keeps them apart everywhere — in the API, in the ranking, and here.
