How we built this

A few things to know before you draw conclusions.

Source

U.S. Department of Labor LCA (Labor Condition Application) disclosure data, covering 8 quarters through December 2025. LCA filings are a leading indicator of H-1B sponsorship — every H-1B petition starts with one. Counts include new, transfer, and continuation filings.

Brand aggregation

Companies file LCAs under multiple legal entities (e.g. Amazon.com Services, AWS, Amazon Development Center). We collapse all subsidiaries into a single brand based on registry mappings + manual overrides, then sum filings. When subsidiaries appear in different tiers, the brand is promoted to the highest tier any subsidiary qualified for, and re-ranked by combined filings. Example: Dell Technologies' three U.S. entities combine into one entry at rank #87.

Tier definitions

The Old Dream: ranks 1–200 by combined filings. Steady Middle: ranks 201–500. Hidden Gems: ranks 501 and below. Tiers reflect H-1B filing volume only — not company quality, prestige, or career outcomes. A "Hidden Gem" can be a great employer; the label refers to its visibility in candidate target lists, not its merit.

Layoff data — two sources

Two passes: (1) WARN filings and disclosures already in the H-1B sponsor source data. (2) Augmented for the Top 200 from public layoff trackers (CNBC, WSJ, Reuters, Salesforce Ben, Tom's Hardware, CIO, Newsweek, Storyboard18) as of May 13, 2026. Hover any ▼ flag to see its source. A brand is flagged if any U.S. entity announced 2026 layoffs; the number is the largest single announcement (or a cumulative total where noted), not a sum across all entities. Filing volume and layoffs are independent — a brand can be hiring in one division while cutting in another.

Industry classification

Industries are derived from each filer's primary LinkedIn industry tag, then normalized into 12 broad buckets (Tech, Finance, Healthcare, etc.). Brands with subsidiaries spanning multiple industries are classified by the bucket with the most filings. We override Amazon to Tech because the source data tags its largest entity as Retail.

What this is not

This is not a prediction of which companies will hire you, or even that they're hiring right now. It's a map of which companies filed the most H-1B paperwork over the past two years. Past sponsorship is a signal of willingness, not a guarantee of an open role today. Use this to broaden your target list beyond the famous names, then verify each company's current openings before applying.
