What Openbound is

Openbound is a job search service at theopenbound.com for people who may need U.S. visa or green card sponsorship. It lists current openings from employers' careers sites and job platforms, summarises each posting, and gives an estimate of how likely the employer is to sponsor, using public government filing data and what the posting itself says. By using Openbound you agree to these terms.

Estimates, not advice or guarantees

Sponsorship assessments are Openbound's own estimates. They are informational only. They are not legal, immigration or employment advice, and nothing on Openbound creates an attorney–client relationship. For advice about your situation, consult a qualified immigration attorney.

An estimate is not a promise that any employer will sponsor you or anyone for any role. Filing history shows what an employer did in past fiscal years; it does not state the employer's current policy, and policies change by role, team, location and time. Government data is published with delays and can be incomplete, and a match between a company and its filings can be wrong. What a posting says about sponsorship is what that posting said when we last read it. Openbound also does not guarantee that a job is still open, that its details are current, or that you are eligible for it.

How we reach each conclusion, and the data behind it, is in the methodology.

Your account

You must be 18 or older to use Openbound. Give accurate information, keep your sign-in secure, and use your account only for yourself. You are responsible for activity you authorize under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle account information.

Jobs, employers and other websites

Job postings belong to the employers that publish them. Openbound displays captured job descriptions and links to the original on the employer's careers site or job platform. Third-party content remains the property of its respective owners. Captured postings may be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date; confirm current details and apply on the original site, under that site's own terms and privacy policy. For copyright concerns, corrections, or removal requests, use the contact link in our footer and identify the posting and your concern. Openbound does not submit applications, does not receive your application, and is not responsible for other websites or for any employer's hiring decisions.

Openbound is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a recruiting partner of the employers it lists or the job platforms and applicant-tracking systems they use, and no employer supplied or approved Openbound's sponsorship assessments. Employer names and logos are used only to identify the employer.

Openbound's content and other people's

Rights in Openbound's software, design, text, sponsorship assessments, summaries and compilations belong to us or our licensors. You may use them for your own job search and share links to them. Employers' postings, names and logos remain theirs, and government records remain public records.

Acceptable use

Do not use Openbound unlawfully or to harm others. Do not scrape, crawl or bulk-download Openbound, or use automated means to access it beyond what its robots.txt allows; do not resell its output or use it to build a competing dataset; do not try to get around rate limits, access controls or security; and do not interfere with the service or other people's use of it. Do not submit false reports.

Corrections and takedown requests

If something Openbound shows is wrong, or you believe content should be removed — including a copyright concern — use Report a problem or write to hello@theopenbound.com. For a copyright request, identify the work, where it appears on Openbound, and how to reach you. A person reviews every report; reports do not change anything automatically.

Suspension and ending

We may suspend or close an account, or block access, that breaks these terms or puts the service or others at risk. You can stop using Openbound at any time and ask us to delete your account as described in the privacy notice.

Disclaimers and liability

Openbound is provided “as is” and “as available”, without express or implied warranties, including accuracy, completeness, availability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, to the extent the law allows. Decisions you make using Openbound — including where to apply and what to do about your immigration status — are yours.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive losses, including lost profits or lost data, arising from use of Openbound or reliance on an estimate, a listing or a third-party website. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Changes and contact

We may change Openbound and these terms. We will update the date above when the terms change. For material changes, we will provide notice through the service or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use Openbound after the updated terms take effect means you accept them; if you disagree, stop using the service. Questions: hello@theopenbound.com.
