About

Job Eligibility Scanner — Know Before You Apply
Tired of spending time crafting the perfect application, only to discover the job doesn't sponsor visas? Job Eligibility Scanner automatically scans LinkedIn job postings and instantly alerts you to eligibility restrictions — so you can focus your energy on jobs that are actually open to you.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This extension is built for international job seekers in the US, including:

F-1 OPT and STEM OPT students
CPT students
H-1B visa holders
Green card applicants
Anyone who needs visa sponsorship or work authorization

WHAT IT DETECTS
Job Eligibility Scanner watches for the restrictions that matter most to international candidates:
🚫 No Visa Sponsorship — Catches phrases like "will not sponsor," "no visa sponsorship," "unable to sponsor," "no H-1B sponsorship," and dozens of variations employers use to indicate they won't support work visas.
🎓 OPT / CPT Not Accepted — Flags postings that explicitly exclude F-1 OPT or CPT candidates, so students on practical training don't waste applications.
🇺🇸 US Citizens Only — Detects citizenship-only requirements such as "US citizen only," "must be a US citizen," or "USC/GC only."
🪪 Citizens or Green Card Only — Identifies postings that limit applicants to US citizens and permanent residents.
🔒 Security Clearance Required — Highlights jobs requiring active security clearances (Secret, Top Secret, TS/SCI), which typically require US citizenship to obtain.
📋 Work Authorization Required Without Sponsorship — Catches the common phrase "must be authorized to work without sponsorship," which is a soft way of saying they won't support visa holders.
HOW IT WORKS
Once installed, Job Eligibility Scanner runs quietly in the background as you browse LinkedIn Jobs. The moment you open a job posting, the extension scans the full job description using advanced fuzzy matching technology — meaning it catches eligibility restrictions even when employers use unusual wording or slight variations.
A color-coded floating badge appears on every job page:
✅ Green — No restrictions detected. Go ahead and apply!
⚠️ Amber — Possible restrictions found. Review the details.
🚨 Red — Clear eligibility restrictions detected. Proceed with caution.
Click the badge to see exactly which phrases were flagged and why. The badge is draggable, so you can position it wherever it's most comfortable on your screen.
SMART FUZZY MATCHING
Unlike simple keyword search, Job Eligibility Scanner uses token-based fuzzy matching with Levenshtein distance scoring. This means it catches natural language variations like:

"We are unable to offer sponsorship" ✓
"Sponsorship is not available for this role" ✓
"No work visa support" ✓
"Cannot sponsor H1B transfers" ✓

No more missed restrictions buried in legal language.
CUSTOMIZABLE ALERTS
Use the popup to turn specific alert types on or off depending on what's relevant to your situation. Only care about visa sponsorship and OPT restrictions? Disable the clearance and citizenship alerts. The extension remembers your preferences across sessions.
PRIVACY FIRST
Job Eligibility Scanner runs entirely in your browser. It does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. No account required. No server-side processing. Your job search stays completely private.
WORKS SEAMLESSLY WITH LINKEDIN
The extension is built specifically for LinkedIn Jobs and handles LinkedIn's single-page app navigation correctly — it re-scans automatically as you click through job listings without requiring page reloads.
Stop wasting applications. Start applying smarter.
