The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has granted Geoffrey Nathan Business Sponsorship (BS) status. This means that the DIAC has identified that Geoffrey Nathan has the need to source candidates from overseas who are qualified in industries where there is a candidate shortage in the Australian market.

Business Sponsorship status allows Geoffrey Nathan to sponsor a limited number of candidates during the validity of their Business Sponsorship, under subclass 457 business visas.

What does this mean for you, the recruiter?

As a recruiter it means that Geoffrey Nathan can provide you with screened, relevant and quality candidates that can fill long term employment assignments at no charge! It also means that Geoffrey Nathan can payroll the candidate you place which also means there is no cost to the agency.

If you come across a CV from a candidate who you think you can place, share the CV! Your engagement with GNC starts the moment an overseas candidate is considered for a role. We offer a free candidate eligibility assessment service, and then once an offer of employment has been made, we initiate the visa application process with the candidate.
