Employers

Our service to you is twofold: We handle the candidate aspect (sourcing, screening and making sure candidates are sponsor-ready) and we manage all steps of the visa process.

Employer sponsored visas allow employers to sponsor migrants to work in Australia. To be eligible to sponsor an overseas applicant, your company must:

  • Be approved as a sponsor which includes showing that you:
  • Operate a lawful business
  • Have a sound business record
  • Meet training benchmark levels for your Australian employees
  • Nominate an occupation that is relevant to your company
  • Nominate an occupation that is on the approved list of occupations
  • Meet the market salary rates for the nomination occupation

We have a depth of experience managing all the above stages. We work closely with you to manage the paperwork and ensure that the sponsorship process is quick and stress-free.
