If you are interested in moving to Australia, and would like to find a company to sponsor you on a 457 visa I have detailed several suggestions below.
1) Conduct a search on some of the larger job sites like[url]seek.com.au[/url], [url]mycareer.com.au[/url] , [url]trovit.com.au[/url] with ’457 visa’ or similar as a keyword. This should produce a list of roles within companies that are offering to sponsor under 457 visas. However offering to sponsor does not necessarily mean they are accredited sponsors already, so check carefully before committing.
2) Review the requirements for 457 visa sponsors, as well as the skilled occupations in demand, which will give an indication of the types of companies that may be eligible who you may then be able to approach directly. Review the following links for more information:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/sol/ http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/skilled-workers/sbs/3) Check out websites that specialize in matching candidates and sponsors. An example is
http://www.skilledmigrantjobs.com/4) Contact recruitment agencies who should be aware of which of their corporate clients are able to sponsor, however they will only have some of the accredited sponsors on their books. To find recruiters you can search job search sites eg.
http://www.seek.com.au/Recruiter5) If you are using a migration agent they may be able to share which companies have sponsored their clients in the past. However relevance will of course depend on what type of skills the other clients had.
6) Some companies, such as relocation agents, migration agents or recruitment companies offer Job Search Programmes (or similarly named) but these may involve a fee. Participation does not guarantee sponsorship.
7) Visit ‘Working in Australia’ or similar expos that are held overseas by Australian migration agents, banks and government organisations to attract migrants to Australia.
The Australian Government also has a skilled migrant website where you can register your interest in job opportunities under the skilled migrant scheme, however you need to hold a current skilled migrant visa to access.
