What We Do To Find Job Vacancies

Below is an overview of the services and solutions provided by Hire A Migrant.

Key staff have been serving the immigration industry since 1998 and we aim to provide the same convenient, winning service that has made our affiliate companies into leaders in business planning for migrants. Refer to State Sponsorship Services and NZ Business Planners.

CV Review - The CV, or resume, is the “Silent Salesman” for a job applicant, giving insight into the candidate’s communication abilities, eye for detail, and persuasiveness (as well as work abilities, interests and education. Click here to review our CV writing and strengthening service. All applicants should have a professional makeover of their CV to tune it to the Australian format.

Case Strategy - The individual visa structures, applicant profiles, sponsorship protocols and local labour markets complicate moving to Australia. Combining these factors in the right mix can speed up, simplify or be the only way some people can migrate. Click here to read about how these factors can be made to work for your clients.

Personal Job Search - The best way to get a job! Direct approach to targeted employers before they advertise a vacancy. Combine this with Media Search for the highest chance of finding work, using the broadest media sources and demonstrated initiative of direct contact. Read about why Personal Job Search offers the best result.

Job Search Report- Some sponsoring agencies require evidence of employment prospects in a regional area, despite there being recognised shortage in many occupations. This service generates a report that identifies probable employers and indicates their willingness to hire the migrant. Click here to read about how to prove that regional employers would like to hire your clients.

Interview Skills- Where many applicants fall down. Without “selling” an employer on why a migrating worker adds value to their business, few employers will consider hiring someone “different”. Click here for techniques and tools that help overcome employer resistance based on “no local experience”, overseas training, communication styles, cultural “norms” and language.

Coaching- Where we work with clients on a consulting basis to review the client’s own job search activities, response levels and meeting outcomes, then suggest improvements as may be required.

Meet and Greet- Once the migrant arrives for work, there may be big adjustments to make with lifestyle, housing, transport and shopping, to name a few. This service provides a gentle introduction on a migrant’s arrival into Australia, ensuring that they can find suitable accommodation, food and drink, transport and telephone or internet services.

The Australian Government is now in caretaker mode ahead of the national election scheduled for August 21. The timing is very unfortunate as a long series of major changes to immigration policy are still unfinished, leaving many thousands of people in a state of great uncertainty.

Although it is possible that State Governments may be able to submit their new lists of State Sponsored occupations for Ministerial approval, it is unclear whether the Minister still has the ability to authorise their implementation at least until a new Government is formed. Similarly, other unwelcome legislation for capping and ceasing certain visa categories is also unable to progress. Another choke point is that quotas for certain occupations may also be implemented at State and Federal levels soon after the election.

Or not! One major party view is that smaller employers should find it easier to become a sponsor, which would enable many more job applicants through. Applicants affected by change and uncertainty may still consider applying for 457 permits until their visa pathway for permanent residency is made clear. Even without the election, Immigration is in a bit of a mess and it will probably be October before it’s mostly cleared up.
