Go Beyond the Obvious Boards
Many sponsorship roles are shared inside talent communities before they appear publicly. Join Slack groups, LinkedIn niches, and meetup channels for your industry.
Target Approved Sponsors Directly
Use the official sponsor list (now searchable via tools like SponsorBase) to build a hit list. Email hiring managers with a concise value pitch.
Watch for Hiring Signals
- Companies expanding to new cities.
- Recent funding rounds (Tech/Health/Construction).
- Government contracts requiring rapid staffing.
Craft a Sponsorship-Friendly Profile
Mention visa-ready status, ANZSCO code alignment, and relocation timelines. Include local references or clients if possible.
Network with Recruiters Who Place Migrants
Specialist agencies understand sponsorship paperwork; they often have roles that never reach SEEK or Indeed.
