Job Search = Direct Approach to Employers and Recruitment Networks
Hire A Migrant was set up to search for work for migrants, either before they arrive in Australia or as part of their visa / sponsorship application.
As a skilled migrant you may know how to work ... but not how to find it. If you are a candidate who has a highly successful career history presented in an excellent CV with a targeted cover letter, you should be the on the first cut short list.
We suggest that all other migrants spend only about 20% of their time with recruiters and applying for advertised jobs, and the balance of 80% of time should be spent in direct approach to employers - because 80% of jobs are not advertised.
Welcome to “the hidden job market”. It exists in every country, and it is the key to success for job searching either for a local Australian or a migrant seeking employment in this country.
The direct approach taps into those jobs that are being given:
- to staff who had left earlier
- to suppliers or customers who want to change sides
- to friends and family of existing staff members who were told about the vacancy
- to the owners of old CVs from the previous recruiting effort
- to people who knock on the employer’s door before the job is advertised.
For most job seekers, we know from experience that the next best way to find work is to provide a strong, tailored CV, work to a relevant target list of prospective employers and highlight strong selling points for hiring any one person before making a direct approach.
But...
- How do you do that if you are thousands of miles away?
- What if you cannot afford to live in Australia for several months trying to find work?
- How do you replace your own support networks and those of family and friends?
- How do you overcome your supposed lack of local knowledge or being a bit different in other ways?
- Exactly where and how should you start looking?
Help is at hand!
Start by treating the finding of a job like a job in itself. Develop good research, undertake regular review and preparation, engage in constant communication and record keeping, review your results, refine “the pitch” and then do it all again.
Alternatively, look for assistance in eliminating the monotonous leg work of employer research and the more tedious aspects of finding employment - dealing with all the negative replies and frustrations of receiving no reply.
This is what Hire A Migrant was set up to do, to remove the drudgery and delays in finding willing employers who would hire and sponsor a migrant.
You can stay at home and keep working at earning your salary without having to advise your employer of your intentions just yet, while we:
- Make sure you have a tailored application and professional CV
- Turn your supposed shortcomings into potential assets for employers
- Identify the hidden job vacancies and approach the employer for you
- Review the media and approach recruitment agents
- Follow up on regular basis, (soon with our call record online)
- Develop and co-ordinate your interviews so that any required visits to Australia are more productive
- Present you with choices

Although we aim to deliver a consistently high success rate with our strategies and quality presentation skills, there are no guarantees that even with our resources of substantial databases, rich networks and professional marketing skills it will be enough to find vacancies for some clients. Not everyone has immediate employment prospects.
