When applying for a business sponsorship, it is essential to test the Australian labour market, and find a suitably qualified candidate in the current labour market who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident. In the absence of such a candidate in the labour market, the business is then at liberty to look for candidates outside Australia. At Report Works we conduct a thorough testing of the labour market pool for the specific position on behalf of our clients and provide a report which includes at a minimum:
- Approach and advantage of each advertisement
- Comprehensive information of the advertisement including date, length, data, targeted candidates, number of applications received, number of candidates hired, and reasons rejected candidates were unsuccessful
- In depth exploration of labour market trends in the industry and in relation to the nominated occupation
- Evidence of support from Commonwealth, State/Territory government agencies with responsibility for employment matters
