What a licence means
They can sponsor. That is all it says.
A sponsor licence lets an organisation assign a Certificate of Sponsorship to a worker on the routes it covers. It does not mean The Open Data Institute is hiring from abroad this month, only that it can, and has been checked by the Home Office to do so.
How to approach them
Make the certificate easy
The employer assigns the certificate; you supply what it needs. Certificates, references, your English level and a clear licence position, all ready, is what makes The Open Data Institute say yes to the sponsored candidate over the unsponsored one.
The register
The Open Data Institute, London, holds a Home Office sponsor licence on the Skilled Worker route, and has been on the register since at least 2026. Rating on the current register: Worker (A rating).
Open Data Institute is the registered name (Companies House number 08030289), a company limited by guarantee on the register since 2012. The registered office is at 4th Floor, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London, N1 9AG, N1 9AG. By its SIC codes the business is in professional and technical services. It has traded under other names before, including Bcomp CLG 3 Limited.
A licence says an organisation may sponsor; it does not say it is hiring today. The way to find out is the same as for any employer: the careers page, the job boards, and a direct approach with a UK-style CV that says early that sponsorship would be needed.
