Australian recruitment agencies and consultants for overseas positions
There is an increasing number of Australian owned companies sending a greater proportion of their human resources overseas, which then provides overseas employment opportunities. There are also a growing number of advertisements for personnel who are willing to work overseas staffing foreign offices and enterprises.
The other change that is taking place is that foreign firms in nearby countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong are increasingly advertising for Australian personnel to fill their positions. You can register with employment consultants and personnel agencies that specialise in your field and recruit for positions overseas. There are many agencies you can contact. Below is an indicative list of such agencies grouped by industry.
