Recruitment and immigration for employers and job seekers.
GRIA is now part of Hire Australia.
GRIA has merged with Hire Australia. Hire Australia now handles recruitment and employer enquiries, working with Australian Immigration Agency (AIA) on immigration.
A recruiter-led search, with immigration considered early
When a role is difficult to fill locally, looking overseas can widen your search. It also adds questions about work rights, qualifications and the practicalities of starting work in Australia.
Hire Australia's recruiters now run GRIA's searches and send employers a shortlist. Australian Immigration Agency (AIA) handles the migration advice. You talk to the team about your hiring needs and they take it from there.
A clear brief before a shortlist
Search against your requirements
Start with the work to be done, the skills and experience required, and the location. Your recruiter can then assess how candidates fit the brief.
Ask the right screening questions
Discuss qualifications, experience, references and role-specific checks with your recruiter. Identify any registration or licensing questions before agreeing a start date.
Consider visa needs
If a candidate needs sponsorship, involve AIA. After a job match, AIA checks visa eligibility. A role or job offer alone does not confirm eligibility.
Keep the hiring and visa conversations connected
A shortlist is a starting point for your assessment. Interview candidates, discuss the work and confirm what checks or documents are still needed.
AIA has MARA registered migration agents, members of the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA), with 15+ years of experience. Ask AIA for advice about your situation.
Prepare for the conversation
- Role description and work location
- Required qualifications and experience
- Pay, hours and working conditions
- Possible start dates and onboarding needs
- Any known work-rights or sponsorship questions
