Why GRIA? | Better Than SEEK, Indeed & Traditional Recruiters

Home » Why GRIA?

Australia’s Labour Shortages Can’t Be Solved with Locals Alone

You’ve tried SEEK.
You’ve explored Indeed.
You’ve briefed local recruiters.
And you’re still left struggling to fill roles, especially in healthcare, aged care, hospitality, construction, and education.

Australia isn’t just facing a recruitment problem—it’s facing a supply problem.

And legacy hiring platforms, built for yesterday’s market, simply weren’t designed to solve the scale and complexity of today’s international workforce needs.

SEEK vs. Indeed vs. Traditional Recruiters vs. GRIAworks

SEEK: Built for Local Hiring

If you’re hiring domestic staff, SEEK is the default. It’s where Australians go to find work, and where most local roles are posted.

But when it comes to international candidates?

Limited reach
No immigration support
No vetting or screening
Not where global talent is actively looking

SEEK is designed for local Australian demand. It’s not built to hire your next international employee.

Indeed: Global Visibility, No Structure

Indeed casts a wide international net. Candidates from around the world apply—and the volume is enormous.

But here’s the issue:

No vetting
No qualification checks
No visa pathway visibility
No employer-side support

You’re left with hundreds or even thousands of unfiltered CVs—many unqualified, some ineligible, and all yours to painstakingly sift through.

Traditional Recruiters: Helpful, But Siloed

Traditional recruitment firms can be effective—particularly when they have deep networks in a particular region or sector.

But:

They often focus on one geography or one industry
Their vetting standards vary, and immigration is not integrated
You may need to coordinate multiple firms across different countries
Costs are usually high, yet the service isn’t end-to-end with additional unforeseen costs

They’re not built for scale—and not built for the global hiring challenge Australia is now facing

GRIAworks: Built for Global Hiring with Confidence

GRIAworks is purpose-built for Australian employers seeking to solve workforce shortages with quality, migration-ready international talent.

We combine:

A trusted network of international recruiter partners
A structured vetting process
In-house Australian visa assessment and immigration compliance
One intuitive portal to manage it all

You post a job.
Our partners source and screen.
Our in-house team handles immigration.
You stay in control—start to finish.
You offer, then sit back and relax, while we handle the candidate’s Australian visa.

How the New GRIA Model Works

We’ve evolved. We activate our global network when you need it:

Post a Job on the GRIAworks platform
Our international partners source and screen based on your brief
GRIA’s in-house Australian team of registered immigration agents assesses candidate visa eligibility
You review shortlists in your GRIAworks dashboard, interview & offer
GRIA’s Registered Migration Agents (RMAs) works with your future employee to obtain their Australian visa

This ensures you get relevant, qualified, visa-eligible talent, without the overhead of coordinating dozens of recruiters or consultants.

Built for the Roles That Matter Most

GRIAworks focuses on sectors with the highest shortages—and the highest stakes:

Healthcare, nurses, aged care & disability support workers
Construction trades, mining & manufacturing
Chefs, kitchen staff, and hospitality teams
Teachers & early childhood educators
Cleaners, labourers, and service staff

These are just some of the roles where local supply isn’t enough—and where GRIA makes the difference.

Immigration? Handled In-House

Through our immigration division—the Australian Immigration Agency (AIA), a division of GRIA—we manage all migration and compliance, including:

Eligibility assessments for sponsored visas
Documentation and submission
Labour market testing and sponsorship requirements
Ongoing support to ensure compliance and onboarding success

Why Employers Choose GRIAworks

✔️ Global reach, local simplicity
✔️ Structured vetting and immigration built-in
✔️ Only pay when you hire
✔️ One portal. One relationship. Total visibility.

We don’t just source candidates.
We manage the entire journey—so you don’t have to.
