Most UK research job adverts don't say which grant funds the role. So Global Talent Visa (Route 3) candidates spend hours checking PIs, projects and grant databases by hand. Endorse reads university careers pages and matches research and technical roles to official funding records, across all 24 Russell Group universities. It's a first-pass discovery tool, not immigration advice.

Could you build this?

Partial The user-facing job board is straightforward, but reliably extracting and linking academic job postings to UKRI grant databases requires complex, resilient web scrapers and entity matching across disparate university sites.

What it would actually take: The stack would involve Celery/Playwright scrapers across 24 Russell Group career portals and the UKRI Gateway to Research API, with an entity resolution pipeline (using LLMs or fuzzy record linkage) to tie unstructured job descriptions to active grant IDs. Constant scraping maintenance and fragile institutional career portals represent the primary engineering hurdle.
