Robert Walters to widen offshore recruitment net
Staff reporter, 13 June 2012
RECRUITMENT firm Robert Walters says a three-year renewal of its Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) On Hire Work Agreement will allow it to sponsor more skilled mining, engineering, construction and IT professionals into Australia on 457 visas.
The firm said this week its new DIAC agreement enabled it to target an increased range of professionals, and 40% more candidates.
“The Robert Walters dedicated immigration services team is streamlining the process of employing international talent in Australia, and providing a pathway to access and recruit overseas skilled workers,” commercial manager David Steele said. “This is especially important for organisations that operate in talent short industries and need access to a wider range of available candidates.”
Robert Walters could remove visa application hurdles for potential recruits and clients by “managing the process from end to end”.
This could include meeting 457 sponsorship responsibilities and obligations, preparing and organising DIAC visa paperwork, and providing compliant payroll services to sponsored candidates.
Steele indicated there was increasing pressure on organisations trying to recruit international talent.
