Finding the right talent locally has never been harder. Nearly a third of occupations across Australia face shortfalls, with shortages hitting construction, healthcare, IT, and trades especially hard. For recruitment agencies, that means longer searches, harder-to-fill roles, and clients who are running out of patience.
The good news is that the talent exists. Countries like India, the Philippines, and Vietnam have deep pools of skilled professionals ready to work. This session is about how to reach them, place them compliantly, and keep earning your margin along the way.
Drinks and snacks provided.
