How we count

  • Source: every tech job listing in a European country on The Stack posted in the window, one count per listing page.
  • The Stack lists tech jobs that say they offer visa sponsorship, and only those are counted. It is what the listing states, not a check of the employer.
  • Countries with fewer than 10 visa-sponsored listings in the window are left out of the country table. Roles are matched on job titles.
  • This Q4 2026 edition is a copy of the report saved on 2026-10-26; its numbers will not change. You are welcome to quote them with a link to this page.
