Migration Outplacement Services

 

Konnecting Group as a Skilled Migration & Recruitment has a unique set of skillsets with in-house registered migration agents (RMA’s) and recruitment consultants. We understand the migrant's journey and challenges to find a job in Australia, particularly sponsored positions under the various employer-sponsored visas (Temporary Skill Shortage TSS/482, Trainee (407) visa, or permanent Employer Sponsored ENS visas, or even Sponsored Employer Regional Skilled 494 visas).

While attracting, sourcing, recruiting and processing visas are critical processes, so too are the exit of migrant employees from the business, and it’s very often overlooked but has become more prevalent in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Outplacement Services generally assist retrenched employees with their career options, resume writing, job search, training recommendations and more, however, at Konnecting we have an added expertise of migration advice.

 

FREE CONSULTATION TO DISPLACED EMPLOYER SPONSORED WORKERS (482/457 VISA HOLDERS)

During these challenging COVID-19 times, we understand it can be extremely difficult for displaced TSS visa holders who lose their job through coronavirus. This can be through no fault of the visa holder, nor in fact, the employer who has decided on a business survival measure. The free consultation includes a 15-minute brief review of visa options. More detailed paid outplacement services can be provided directly to an individual or via an employer.

 

CORPORATE MIGRANT OUTPLACEMENT SERVICES

The coronavirus has smashed the Australian economy, and while we are hopeful for the future in Australia’s proactive response, unfortunately, many businesses have been forced to retrench some TSS visa holders. There are many reasons including Australian jobs prioritised, no access to JobKeeper for migrants, many migrants have been the last in, so first out and some industries more affected than others.

Ideally, before a business decides to cease employment, they should consult with migration experts to assess if there are any alternative option (for example Leave Without Pay, reduced hours or in certain cases varying of duties). There are certain government sponsorship obligations that employers need to adhere to. However, more than this, sponsoring employers have a moral obligation to assist their employees particularly migrant workers who are more at risk as they do not have the social welfare safety net of Australian workers, may not have Medicare and higher costs to repatriate etc.
