For a Recruitment Consultant Emigrating to Australia
Welcome to our guide on the Australian skills assessment process for a Recruitment Consultant. Before we examine the skills required to be recognised as a Recruitment Consultant it may be helpful to explain that the skills assessment is the first step of the emigration process. The skills Assessment of a Recruitment Consultant determines their eligibility to emigrate and the visa options available. Ultimately, it will affect their employment opportunities once they are in Australia.
While we appreciate that each case is unique, we always strive to secure the best possible outcome from the Skills Assessing Authorities in Australia. Experience has proven that efforts and expertise in this area are often the keys to a successful case.
Ensuring Recruitment Consultants Are In High Demand
Every skilled migrant wants to know they will be able to secure a job quickly and easily when they are in Australia. The Australian emigration system ensures that they can.
Each year, State Governments and the two territorial Governments report to the federal government on their local demand for Recruitment Consultants and if they need to bring in Recruitment Consultants from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Recruitment Consultants required in the coming year to fill the skills gap within each region.
The Skills in demand are then broken down into priority lists. These lists range from those skills in high demand across the country to those skills with only limited demand within rural areas.
Curently, Recruitment Consultants are on the STSOL list. Being on this list means a Recruitment Consultant may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
- 190, 407, 491 (S/T), TSS (S), 494
