Places datasets
Two open datasets of mapped places (shops, offices, restaurants, clinics and other sites) are used to read the address, city, country and category of businesses that list their own website. A place never identifies a company on its own: it only adds location and category evidence for the website it lists.Visa sponsorship registers
Official, employer-level immigration records are used as evidence that a company sponsors work visas. They are matched to a company by its exact legal name and location (or a verified identifier), one register at a time.
Jobo also ranks company domains by how central they are on the web, from one open web dataset:
Industry codes are converted to NAICS, and revenue bands are estimated for companies that publish no revenue, with official classification and statistics tables:

How the data is used
- Only registry fields are used: names, identifiers, websites, addresses, industry codes, founding dates and headcount bands. No Wikipedia text is used.
- From filed accounts and returns (Companies House accounts, Brreg’s Regnskapsregisteret, IRS Form 990, SEC XBRL facts), only individual figures are extracted: employee counts, revenue and asset totals, and the balance sheet or tax period they belong to. The filed documents themselves are not stored or republished, and officer, director, accountant and preparer names are never extracted or stored.
- Records the publisher marks as non-public are excluded. In particular, Sirene records not fully open to diffusion (
statutDiffusionother thanO) are skipped. - Sole traders and other natural persons are not loaded (Sirene personnes physiques, Norwegian ENK, GLEIF sole proprietors, Czech sole traders, Estonian FIE, Singapore sole proprietorships, Australian individuals, partnerships, deceased estates, self-managed super funds and discretionary family trusts, PPP sole proprietors / self-employed / independent contractors, FMCSA carriers registered under a person’s name, sole-proprietor investment advisers). DENUE establishments owned by natural persons are dropped when they have five or fewer staff; larger ones are kept under their trade name. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses are never loaded.
- From the places datasets only places that list their own website are used; a website on a social network, a booking, ordering or listing site, or a free website builder does not count. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses and social accounts are never loaded, and listings that name a person (for example an individual agent’s or practitioner’s own listing) are dropped. A place adds location and category evidence for its website but never identifies a company on its own; a site of a chain is not taken as the company’s headquarters.
- From the visa registers only employer fields are kept. Contact persons, attorneys, preparers and workers are never read. Irish permit and U.S. H-2A/H-2B employers that do not name a legal entity (for example a person trading under their own name) are skipped. ESDC already removes personal names from the LMIA list.
- From the Irish, Taiwanese, Argentine and Chilean registers only company records are loaded. Argentine natural persons (registered traders, auctioneers, brokers, customs agents), partnerships traded under their partners’ names, trusts and joint-venture contracts are skipped, as is any CUIT that belongs to a person; Chilean EIRL one-person firms (whose name must include the owner’s name) and partnerships are skipped. Officers, directors, representatives and managers are never read from any of them.
- From the charity registers (England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia) only organisation fields and the latest filed totals are kept: name, registration number, website, town and postcode, classification, staff count, income, spending and assets. Trustee, director and responsible-person data, contact addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses are never loaded. In Norway, membership of the Register of Non-Profit Organisations (Frivillighetsregisteret) is read from Enhetsregisteret.
- Registry data is refreshed from the publisher on a regular schedule and is not redistributed in bulk.
