1. What types of jobs do you recruit for, and in what industries?
We recruit for a wide range of automotive retail, service, and repair roles across Australia, including:
Panel Beaters
Motor Mechanics (light and heavy vehicle)
Automotive Technicians and Electricians
Vehicle and Spray Painters
Workshop Managers, Controllers, and Leading Hands
In addition, we also recruit for niche and specialist automotive roles, particularly in regional areas of Australia where skills shortages are most severe. Many of these positions are open to international candidates requiring employer sponsorship under the Skills in Demand visa programme.
2. What should I include in my job application?
A strong application should include the following:
Cover Letter – A short introduction outlining your current work situation and how your experience meets the selection criteria.
Current Resume (CV)—Clearly detailing your work history, qualifications, skills, and references.
Supporting Documents (if applicable) – Trade certifications, skills assessments, or licences recognised in Australia.
*Both the cover letter and current resume must be in either MS Word or PDF file format and must not exceed 4MB each to successfully get through our application database.
3. I would like to migrate to Australia through a visa-sponsored job, but there isn’t a specific position currently being advertised that I want to apply for. What should I do?
Some of our vacancies are not being advertised. In the absence of a specific position on our website’s job board, send us your resume and then attach your cover letter and updated resume in MS Word or PDF file format.
4. I’m having difficulty finding a specific job online that suits my skill set. What other options are available for me?
Alternatively, you may upload your cover letter and updated resume in MS Word or PDF file format via our Contact Us page, indicating the position of your interest in the cover letter.
We may not respond to all generic applications due to the sheer volume we receive but will respond to you if we currently find suitable open roles for you. Unless specifically requested in succeeding emails, there is no need to attach files other than your updated resume and cover letter. Ideally, apply for a specific position on our website matching your skills and experience, in which case all applications receive a response.
5. Can you assist me in finding a job with sponsorship for an SID visa/457 work visa?
We do not actively seek employers to sponsor individual applicants. However, many of our client companies’ roles do come with employer sponsorship opportunities under the Skills in Demand visa programme (which replaced the SID/457 visa).
We can only facilitate visa-sponsored employment if:
There is a genuinely available role open with one of our clients.
You are qualified and experienced for the nominated position.
The employer successfully selects you at the end of the recruitment process.
Please note: We do not have the capacity to search for jobs for every applicant, and therefore, it is essential that you actively seek opportunities that match your qualifications and experience. Sponsorship is only possible for current vacancies where you are the right fit and have secured a job offer.
6. Do you charge applicants for your recruitment service?
No, we do not charge applicants, whether local or international, for job placement. Under Australian law, employment agencies are prohibited from charging hiring fees to job applicants since recruitment expenses are covered by the direct employer-client, including all fees involved in the process of sponsorship and nomination in the case of international hires. As part of the Australian Migration Law, there is an amendment within the Migration Act called ‘Charging for a Migration Outcome’, preventing employers or agents from charging certain fees (including recruitment fees). Refer to https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2015A00161. Only the visa application itself and service fees for its processing are not part of the mandatory obligation of employer-sponsors.
7. An employer is willing to sponsor me for a job. Can you help with the process of employer sponsorship, nomination, and visa application?
Yes. Our in-house team of full-time Registered Migration Agents (RMAs) can guide both you and your employer through every stage of the employer sponsorship process under the Skills in Demand visa programme (which replaced the TSS/457 visa).
8. Can you assist with my search for temporary casual work while on a working holiday visa (WHV)?
No. We do not handle temporary or casual staffing. Our recruitment services focus on full-time, permanent roles that are generally linked to visa-sponsorable occupations.
That said, some of our client employers may consider candidates on a WHV if they are interested in long-term employment pathways, particularly with a view to transitioning to permanent residency.
9. How will I know if my application was received?
When you submit your application online, you will receive an automatic email response from our Recruitment Team confirming that your application has been received.
10. How long will the recruitment process take?
Within 1 to 3 weeks after submission of your job application, you will be contacted by the Recruitment Team if you have been shortlisted for the initial interview.
Once shortlisted and endorsed to the hiring client company, the progress of every application is largely dependent on the interest and availability of our hiring manager/s to conduct further interviews.
Interviews are generally held within 1 month from the job ad posting, and a decision is usually made shortly after the last interview is held, and an offer is made within a week.
Job offers are made subject to reference checks, verification of qualifications, and any relevant pre-employment checks.
11. I do not currently have working rights within Australia but would like to apply for a position. Can I still apply?
Yes, you may still apply, as most of our hiring client companies are approved employer-sponsors. However, everything else being equal in terms of skills and work experience relevant to an open position, those who are currently onshore are always given priority for interviews over those who are still outside the country.
12. Are referees contacted before interviews or after? Can I bring in my referee details with me to the interview or email them prior?
Please ensure that referee details are included in your initial application. You may add them at the end of your resume.
For some positions and depending on the hiring client’s company policy, written references may be required prior to the interview. Most verbal references are conducted post-interview.
13. I received an email from your Recruitment Team that my application was unsuccessful. Can I apply for other advertised open positions?
Yes, you may be unsuccessful in one position and still be considered for another open role at the same time or in the future when a more suitable job becomes available.
When applications are unsuccessful, it does not always mean you are not qualified but may mean you are not “visa eligible" and/or simply may have been bested by other candidates who are already onshore and with qualifications and industry experience that more closely match the job requirements.
14. How can I be eligible to apply for jobs with employer sponsorship?
To be eligible for employer-sponsored jobs in Australia under the Skills in Demand visa programme (which replaced the TSS/457 visa), you must meet certain minimum requirements:
Relevant qualifications that are formally recognised in Australia.
At least several years of work experience directly relevant to the nominated occupation.
For most trade occupations, a skills assessment is required, particularly for applicants from countries without a mutual recognition agreement with Australia.
You can refer to the ANZSCO codes published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) as a guide to the skills, tasks, and qualification levels expected for each occupation.
For the latest list of eligible occupations and skills assessment requirements by country, you should check the Department of Home Affairs website.
