After all, the country hasn\u2019t seen changes at this level since the 457 visa was first implemented in 1996. And many employers across the country have based their entire recruitment and retention strategies on the current legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/resources\/2018-australian-recruitment-trends-report\/?LS=WebsiteLSD=Blog_AU&amp;LA=2018_Trends_Survey_Report_AU&amp;LAD=2018_Trends_Survey_Report_AU&amp;utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blogl&amp;utm_campaign=2018_trends_survey_report_au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, just under half of Australian agencies expect minimal impact from plans to abolish and replace the Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa programme, known as the 457 visa. But of those that do anticipate a change, far more believe further visa restrictions will be negative (35 percent) than positive (4 percent). While some respondents share concerns that restrictions on foreign talent will \u201creduce the talent pool\u201d and \u201ccreate skill shortages,\u201d others support tighter restrictions to curb perceived abuses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while few would refute the Government\u2019s objective of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pm.gov.au\/media\/putting-australian-workers-first\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">putting Australians first<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and tackling short-term skills shortages, the overhaul to immigration laws is not without its challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Future of Talent Attraction<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Australia has long been viewed as an incredibly attractive location for professionals from all corners of the world, the new visa regime will force certain demographics to rethink its viability, or worse still, exclude them entirely due to the age restrictions and reduced occupation list dictated by the TSS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senior professionals possessing niche skill sets, with no guarantee of residency under the new system, may be reticent to consider Australia as a destination of choice, particularly where relocating a family is concerned. Other global employment hubs such as Singapore, New York, and Bangkok may consequently become far more attractive, leaving businesses struggling to entice senior executives. And while Australia has long been able to attract international students due to its solid STEM reputation, immigration restrictions could prevent employers from integrating this talent pool into the workforce on a long-term basis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the new annual<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/workpermit.com\/news\/5000-levy-australian-highly-skilled-visas-20170719\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worker levy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which will see employers paying costs to the Government for each employee they sponsor based on their annual turnover, could also impact<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com.au\/startups-are-complaining-that-a-new-foreign-worker-levy-unfairly-punishes-them-for-australias-skills-shortage-2017-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">talent attraction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If employers, as some have suggested, pass this cost onto the candidate as either a standard ongoing annual feel for working in Australia, or by reducing salaries, it could be the difference between a candidate accepting or rejecting an offer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly, the future is full of uncertainties, but one thing is for sure: recruitment agencies will need to adapt their strategies to meet new labour restrictions\u2014and fast\u2014to ensure businesses can continue attracting and retaining the staff they need to thrive. And this is where your agency can add real value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>A Strategic Advisor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The very best recruitment agencies will keep abreast of the ongoing changes and amendments to the TSS visa to ensure they can accurately advise clients. And with the Government committing to reviewing the visa occupation list every six months, it\u2019s critical that all of your recruiters keep up-to-speed with this. Ensure you\u2019re producing relevant and helpful content for your clients that not only updates them on amendments, but that also offers advice on tapping into talent pools that are increasingly shrinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Your Agency\u2019s Growth<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Department of Employment\u2019s<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.com.au\/yourlanguage\/hindi\/en\/article\/2018\/01\/17\/changes-announced-australias-skilled-occupation-lists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">decision<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to keep recruitment consultants on the short-term skilled occupation list (STSOL) will come as welcome news to the agency owners. However there are caveats \u2013 the base salary requirement has been raised to $90,000, for example \u2013 so attracting talent for your own company will remain a challenge. After all, the recruitment sector has long relied on the expat community to source consultants, and while domestic talent certainly does exist, it is in finite supply\u2014particularly in Sydney and Brisbane. This is a sentiment echoed by Clare Barton of rec-to-rec specialists, Barton Mills, who<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortlist.net.au\/nav.php?idw=10&amp;id=56430&amp;no=22949121690&amp;stream=A&amp;utm_content=read+more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe would love to employ more Aussies, but this is exceptionally difficult to do due to a scarcity of experienced local recruiters being at a peak.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be able to serve the needs of existing and future clients, your agency must seriously consider your own talent attraction strategies in 2018 as you may find yourself looking for recruiters in an ever decreasing talent pool.
