our global sourcing strategy

Randstad’s ever-growing construction & property candidate community is built through innovative sourcing strategies. We don't just canvas the Australian market - we scan the entire globe to ensure that we are seeking out the very best construction staff with the skills you need to drive your business profits. Our unique international network allows us to advertise, search and profile candidates from all over the world.

We know from experience that infrastructure and construction professionals have been in short supply for several decades. In fact, in some areas of Australia, this talent shortage is crippling construction and building development and stopping many companies from reaching the potential the resources boom promises to deliver. With a global undersupply of construction professionals, we understand that you as an Australian employer face significant retention issues, having to compete in a global skills market to attract qualified candidates. That's why, with targeted migration essential for boosting skilled labour, Randstad and AIS have developed a unique service offering that gives you access to expert construction staff from across the globe.

Randstad is proud to work with Absolute Immigration Services (AIS) who are able to offer our clients strategic immigration services. By working in conjunction with AIS, we will open more doors than you thought possible. For you, this means the resources of two specialist organisations to provide a full service offering ̶ from finding the right candidate for your business through Randstad to the immigration and relocation of suitable candidates to Australia through AIS.

Absolute Immigration Services has been assisting businesses in Australia and overseas with immigration advice and strategy since 2001. They provide businesses with assistance sponsoring overseas workers and advise on immigration compliance issues. AIS has been an innovative leader in the subclass 457, business long-stay visa programme, developing and implementing one of the first fully inclusive recruitment, training and visa programmes for clients operating in areas of major skill shortages. In all cases, this has ensured that clients can continue to build their business profitability, without human resources issues.

Our specialist recruitment team is continually looking to provide value and support to clients by sourcing global talent for those hard-to-find skill specialisations including (but not limited to):

project managers & planners
project design staff
commercial managers
skilled trades
operations teams

Working together, Randstad can manage the sourcing and on-boarding functions for you, while AIS can advise on and facilitate any visa requirements to ensure that you have the best possible result, with the least amount of distraction to your usual business.
