Logos belong to their owners and identify employers listed on a public register. Listing does not mean an employer will sponsor any particular role.
For the going rate and the licensed employers in this occupation, see software engineer roles on Visavi (opens visavi.uk).
The pay lamp reads the general threshold of £41,700. Gov.uk says the salary must be that or the going rate for your job, whichever is higher, so look up your occupation's rate before you trust a Clear.
Read the advert for the team and office, then ask. Several employers here tie sponsorship to the role or the location, not to the scheme; their quotes say so. Fintechs sit in their own group below the large tech firms.
Most do not publish graduate salaries on their pages. Ask means check the offer against the threshold and the going rate, not that the pay is low.
Each occupation code has its own annual going rate in the Immigration Rules. Gov.uk explains it on the Skilled Worker page about your job.
Treat it as an Ask for that role. Name the job and team in your reply and ask whether that role can be sponsored.
Read the rule in full on gov.uk's Skilled Worker page on your job (opens gov.uk), then read your salary against the threshold or ask with the recruiter script.
