Applying widely feels productive. Applying accurately is what produces interviews. The difference is usually a licence check that takes seconds.
Start with the register
The public register of licensed sponsors tells you which organisations hold a licence and in which route. Filtering your target list this way removes a large share of wasted applications.
Look at hiring behaviour, not just licences
A licence shows capability, not appetite. Recent sponsored hiring, growth signals and skill shortages in the team are stronger indicators.
Build a focused list
Thirty well-researched employers, approached properly, will usually outperform three hundred generic applications.
