  14. CLARE BARTONBARTON MILLS RECRUITMENT INTRODUCING

  15. IMMEDIATE IMPACT - CANDIDATES An increase in residency applications Demand for experienced Consultants with PR increased Mature candidates from overseas saying no Junior candidates from overseas still keen to come to Australia

  16. IMMEDIATE IMPACT - COMPANIES Reluctance to sponsor junior/trainee consultants A focus on sourcing Australian trainees Some companies not renewing their business sponsorship status Vast majority of companies still open to hiring experienced overseas talent but criteria has increased

  17. POTENTIAL IMPACT A candidate shortage like never seen before Upward pressure on salaries Wholesale review of the way we reward performance Mass exodus of consultants back overseas

  18. HIRING STRATEGIES Ignore the experienced candidate pool completely Put a stop to hiring junior talent requiring sponsorship Put hiring on hold Continue as usual Utilise labour hire agreement

  19. IGNORE THE OVERSEAS CANDIDATES? Breakdown of 2 years of BMR placements 41% no visa constraints 34% required a new 457 25% required a 457 transfer

  20. 67% of talent pool originally came from overseas

  21. IGNORE THE OVERSEAS CANDIDATES? Talent pool is more than halved if we ignore overseas talent Obvious strategy – everyone is doing it Best value proposition in town Intense competition

  22. PUT A STOP TO SPONSORING JUNIOR TALENT? Early Careers: Breakdown of last 2 years of BMR placements • 46% residents • 38% WHV, 457 + 457 transfers • 11% de-facto • 5% other (for example student visa)

  23. PUT A STOP TO SPONSORING JUNIOR TALENT? Why do we struggle to find Australian junior talent? How do we make our industry a more attractive proposition? We need to widen the net

  24. PUT HIRING ON HOLD Risk adverse Increased productivity per head Flawed. Trying to stand still means you go backwards

  25. IN CONCLUSION Residency requests: are you prepared? Doing nothing and having no hiring plan is risky Focusing on one hiring stream is extremely risky Competition for consultants is going to be intense
