If your restaurant is struggling to source quality chefs or continually dealing with high turnover rates, then maybe it’s time to look overseas. Hiring or “sponsoring” a chef or cook on a 457 Visa could be the answer to your staffing issues.
Your business will benefit in a number of ways, including:
- Sponsored workers have restricted working conditions (linked to your business by their Visa conditions) which means you can be assured of staff availability and staff turnover levels are reduced
- Sponsored workers are keen and committed as this is an opportunity for them to better themselves and their families by moving to Australia
- Larger talent pool to hire from
- Diversity in your team and new ideas introduced by the employee into your kitchen and business
- Overseas workers are generally multi-skilled and highly motivated workers.
- A quick and economical solution to finding skilled chefs
- You have a positive incentive for retention with the ability to sponsor your employee for permanent residency after 2 years if applicable.
