In addition to an improved access to suitably qualified and experienced people, international recruitment affords extra flexibility to the employer. The global macroeconomic dynamics have created unprecedented opportunities for Australian resources, construction, engineering and mining companies. To exploit these, companies need to have an access to a suitably qualified and experienced workforce. However, Australian industry is already showing signs of skilled labour shortages, particularly in regional and remote locations. To facilitate an uninterrupted growth, Australian businesses are increasingly looking overseas for solutions to their workforce issues.

Russian and Ukrainian workers are generally highly experienced and well trained.  However, the working conditions and remuneration arrangements in their home countries are inadequate. This means that an Australian employer can ‘headhunt’ the best quality specialists on a cost effective basis. Given a relatively large pool of highly qualified and specialised candidates, Heltan provides solutions that are closely tailored to its client’s technical and other requirements.

Heltan has an extensive network of local agents in Russia and the Ukraine, both recruitment firms and people with significant coalface experience in the selected industries who are best placed to identify suitable candidates. Our consultants verify candidates’ professional and educational credentials and put forward those who are best suited to our clients’ specific needs.

Our clients relay their business requirements to us, and we do the rest. Our clients can choose to either go through the visa application process themselves, or ask Heltan to take care of this process. (Heltan has an exclusive partnership with the prominent migration law firm, Careri, Yang & Associates, who can assist with all the documentation and lead the application and follow-up processes).
