Companies offering sponsorship

[Boomboombembem]

Hi,

I'm actually looking for a company that will help me in obtaining 457 visa.

I have 4 years of working experience as Personnel Officer and i am even willing to pay all visa expenses.

Do you know any recruitment agency who provides this kinf of service?

Hi!

I've got the same problem. As I asked my AUS embassy in Poland (I'm from Poland), they told me that the only possibility to get 457 visa is to get a job first. How can I get a job when I'm at the end of the world???

I've got 8 years of experience (mainly in administration & customer service) and not looking for job in big city (actually it could be anywhere except the desert).

Hi

I,m also having the same problem I work in payroll/ HR and took to sending my C.V to almost every relevent employer I could find in the Australian yellow pages and although I got some nice replies I'm still unable to find work and i'm not being fussy about where it is, pay or anything, what I haven't been able to find is any actual recruitment agencies that deal with sponsorship employers, I,m almost at the point of giving up as I don't know where else to try

The main issue from an employer's point of view is that the position must be such that it needs to be filled from an overseas applicant - i.e. either nobody in Australia can fulfill the functions of the position and/or nobody wants to do it.

The position must be advertised locally (in Australia) for a set period, before declaring that the position requires to be filled from other sources.

Falsely declaring that no local people are suitable can lead o serious penalties for the employer.

You best chance therefore is to apply for positions which require specific skills not readily available in the Australian market - eg Language requirements, special engineering, technical or medical skills etc.

Cheers,

Hi,

I have over 13 years of experience in IT. Does anyone know of placement agencies or recruitment firms that can help me secure job while I am in USA. Once I have valid job offer, I can relocate in 4 weeks time.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

RE: 457 Sponsorship. Very few agencies can now sponsor people in Oz as they have to obtain an on-hire labour agreement from the government (not easy to do). Try Lester Associates - www.lester.com.au
