We start with the job, not just the vacancy. The route changes depending on the duties, salary, employer readiness, candidate background and immigration pathway.
Most care roles require a careful General Employment Permit assessment. Some clinical roles may need a separate eligibility check before any permit route is advised.
Confirm the care setting, duties, roster pattern, salary, location and start date.
Screen candidates for care experience, references, communication and role fit.
Check employment permit route, document readiness and employer compliance points.
Prepare the candidate for visa, arrival, onboarding and first-month settlement.
Support retention with practical communication after placement.
For General Employment Permit and Critical Skills Employment Permit roles, we help employers understand the route, documents, candidate evidence, visa steps and practical onboarding tasks before the case moves forward.
International hiring works best when candidates understand the job, location, documents, first weeks and community support around them. We support the practical handover that helps employers retain people after placement.
