Start it by hand or let the daily schedule run. It reads the **Companies** tab and keeps rows whose `checkedAt` is empty.\n2. The **visa-sponsors** Actor looks each name up in US Department of Labor H-1B and PERM disclosure data and in the UK register of licensed sponsors.\n3. A Code node writes one row back per company: matched legal name, H-1B and PERM counts, the most common sponsored job title and its median wage, and the UK licence rating and routes. Companies with no record are marked too, so they aren't checked again.\n\n### Setup\n1. Add your own Apify API token as an *Apify API* credential.\n2. Make a Google Sheet with a tab named **Companies** and the header row `company`, `checkedAt`. Fill `company` with names (`Google`) or domains (`microsoft.com`).\n3. Paste the sheet ID into both Sheets nodes and pick your Google credential.\n\n### Requirements\nApify account (free plan: up to 50 companies per run) and Google Sheets. The Actor charges $2.50 per 1,000 records; the node caps each run at $2.\n\n**Community node:** uses the verified Apify node (`@apify/n8n-nodes-apify`). On n8n Cloud it installs from the canvas; on self-hosted n8n install it under Settings > Community nodes.\n\n### Customization tips\nSet `minMatchScore` to 1 for exact legal names only, or `includeUk` to false for US data only. Clear a `checkedAt` cell to check that company again.\n\nMade by locaihost, a small studio that builds its tools with AI agents.", "height": 880, "width": 560 }, "id": "b823c5a6-c535-532f-a284-1a2e048b0caa", "name": "Overview", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "typeVersion": 1, "position": [ -670, -230 ] } ], "connections": { "Run manually": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Read the Companies sheet", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Every day at 09:00": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Read the Companies sheet", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Read the Companies sheet": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Pick unchecked companies", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Pick unchecked companies": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Look up sponsorship records", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Look up sponsorship records": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Shape the results", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "Shape the results": { "main": [ [ { "node": "Write results to the sheet", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] } }, "active": false, "pinData": {}, "settings": { "executionOrder": "v1" }, "meta": { "templateCredsSetupCompleted": false }, "tags": [] }
