As Australian employers search for top tier candidates in the midst of the labour shortage crisis, hiring can be a major pain point. Fortunately, WorkinAUS can provide employers and recruiters with all the tools and support they need to take the hassle out of hiring!
Find
In the modern job market landscape there are many ways for employers to find candidates. Whether it’s online job boards, social media, networking or referrals such as career fairs, employers need to continually assess their recruitment and retention strategies in order to attract and retain the talent they need. Lauren Ford, head of labour statistics at the ABS, stated “The strong employment growth through 2022, along with high participation and low unemployment, continues to reflect a tight labour market.” This highlights a great opportunity to start hiring international talent and those on a Working Holiday Maker (417) to fill roles where domestic skills are in short supply, at the same time as searching far and wide across Australia for a local candidate.
Employers see hiring international talent as a great intent and are willing to engage in the process of sponsoring however, many businesses feel that the process of hiring “takes up valuable resources they simply don’t have” along with “the opportunity cost of having resources focused on going through this process is significant” therefore many do not proceed with hiring internationally due to its lengthy process. To meet the needs of the market, WorkinAUS can streamline this process so organisations and businesses in Australia can start buying into this process to supplement the locally available candidate pool on WorkinAUS, and help solve the labour shortage and shift away from the mindset of hiring international talent as ‘risky, time-consuming, cumbersome.’
In its simplest form, WorkinAUS is a destination site for Australian employers to find international talent and international talent (Migrant Workers) to find employment opportunities in Australia, at the same time as advertising and recruiting local talent through WorkinAUS.
Chris Carman, founder of WorkinAUS and migration specialist, “When I was a practicing migration specialist, it would take me five minutes to assess the visa options of a person and the majority of the time I was unable to provide them with an independent option. Most of the time they would need a sponsor, an employer willing to employ migrant workers. I would say “once you have found a job with an employer willing to sponsor you, I would be able to assist both the business and the applicant” the next words would always be “where do I go to find an employer willing to support my employment?” I never had anywhere to send them. Now we do with WorkinAUS.
