1. Introduction

The Association of Professional Staffing Companies of Australia (APSCo Au) represents the professional contracting and staffing sector in Australia. Our members supply and manage skilled white collar professionals for permanent and flexible work engagements across Australia and multiple international markets. APSCo Au has 121 member companies across Australia and is part of a global Association employing thousands of recruitment consultants across multiple countries who manage and source roles for professionals locally and internationally. APSCo Au welcomes the opportunity to provide research and statistics to support the retention of Recruitment Consultant as a classification for the STSOL in the short term but requests an opportunity to review this question more broadly, through a consultation process, in the longer term.

2. Elements of the Response

APSCo Australia, in responding to the consideration of the removal of Recruitment Consultant from

the Skilled Occupations List believed that there were three elements to review in responding to the

opportunity for consultation.

1. Where does it fit as a Skilled Occupation?

2. What is the evident need (if any) to keep or remove the Occupation?

3. Impact on Australian business and economy if the professional staffing sector does not have the

talent it requires to deliver skilled, well sourced talent to corporate and Government clients for

roles across every industry.

Data sources:

APSCo Australia, Skilled Migration Survey, November 2017

This survey uses PeoplePulse for both numerical and text answers. The report is too large a file to

submit but will be made available on request. The survey had 1192 respondents representing

companies in the professional staffing and internal recruitment sector across multiple industries and in

all states and territories of Australia.

3. Key Statistics

The Australian staffing market is worth AUD 19.6 billion and the professional staffing sector is

a high worth contributor to that figure, due to the nature of the professional skills recruited and

managed by companies in that sector.

This figure represents 3.4% of the global market and places Australia as the 7th largest

market globally in $ value.

There is forecast growth in the market of 2% annually for the foreseeable future.

There are estimated to be more than 12,500 staffing firms operating in the Australian market

and 40% of these are specialists in the recruitment and management of professional talent or

have a business division (s) specialising in particular professional segments. (Staffing Industry

Analysts 2017)

Specialisations represented by APSCo Australia members and surveyed for this submission

represent almost every existing and emerging profession in Australia and globally with many

featured on the Skilled Occupation Lists, but the most dominant are:

Accounting & Finance

Architecture

Banking & Finance & Insurance

Education (all levels)

Engineering

Information & Communication Technology

Legal

Media & Digital

Medical (doctors and high level practitioners)

4. Recruitment Consultant as a Skilled Occupation

APSCo Australia’s research firmly supports the notion that the recruitment consultants, needed to support the supply and management of the professionals highlighted in the statistics summary, are key to ensuring Australia has access to the highest quality of talent (locally and globally) to drive projects and prosperity. The strength of the recruitment and contracting sector is a direct result of Government and corporate Australia’s demand for support in sourcing and managing talent. To deliver on this demand the industry needs to have strong and rapid pathways to source talent to deliver quality outcomes for their own companies, their clients and their candidates.

Currently, the following is where “Recruitment Consultant” can be seen to be identified in the STSOL Human Resource Manager – 132311 (STSOL) –

The occupation of Human Resource Manager is in the ‘Human Resource Managers’ unit

group (HRM Group)

The occupation of Recruitment Consultant is in the ‘Human Resource Professionals’ unit

group (HRP Group)

Both groups share similar tasks listed by ANZSCO for each description, and both groups offer similar titles, with one being the same: 223113 Workplace Relations Adviser APSCo Australia notes that although the tasks listed under Recruitment Consultant could be described within an employment contract to be similar to those listed under the HR Manager, the tasks specified for the role of a Recruitment Consultant are much more specialised. We are aware that the Department of Immigration and Border Protection have been vigilant in ensuring any nominated applicants for both ENS or 457 applications have provided solid evidence that their qualifications and experience (specifically the required years of experience) are equal or more to those that are required for the role in line with ANZSCO. This, along with the new provision that the position must be “genuine” requires that the applicant must demonstrate the position is a genuine position within the business by providing documents such as employment contracts, structure or organisation charts, letters of support etc. This impacts the assessment of the nominated role through the nomination and visa application phase. Employers (and visa applicants) face potential refusals on the basis that their nominated position is not a genuine position within the business, if the nominated role does not match the businesses requirements and/or structure. The role of Recruitment Consultant is not limited to the HR sector, it can be nominated within a wide range of industries which require experienced recruitment consultants from within that specific industry. It may not be possible for certain industries to simply amend employment contracts to meet the tasks of the ANZSCO occupation of HR manager, and if they do, it may be seen as being non-genuine. This requires an urgent review and re-construct of this Skilled Occupation category, not its removal from the list.

5. The Current Landscape

APSCo Australia, in preparing this submission, collected data from a wide range of sources to review and determine whether the market’s requirements would be impacted with the removal of the occupation and, more importantly, to consider alternatives. The most important outcome from this research, with almost 2000 responses, is that recruitment roles within most companies (whether an APSCo Australia member, an internal recruitment responsibility in a major corporate or Government) have, as a key pre-requisite, specialised knowledge within the industry in which they are recruiting. The tasks required under recruitment consultant are unique and not just specialised in recruitment, in comparison to the HR manager tasks which only briefly mention recruitment. The grouping of Recruitment Consultant in the Human Resource Professionals Group under ANZSCO is outdated and

no longer relevant to the activities and responsibilities of the recruitment professional in a global talent marketplace. In Attachment 1 to this submission APSCo Australia has highlighted roles APSCo members and others in the professional staffing sector might recruit for, and be required to have qualifications and skills in, that are still on the Skilled Occupations list. To remove the generic Recruitment Consultant Occupation without considering its role in each of the Skilled Occupations still listed, is neither practical nor forward thinking. An alternative approach would be to consider Recruitment Consultant as an occupation linked to particular job groups. Companies seeking recruitment consultants for their business via the Skilled Occupation Lists are doing so as they are unable to find recruitment consultants within Australia that are trained within their specific industry. In most instances, these correlate with the talent challenges faced in other ANZSCO codes that are still evident on the Lists. Businesses determine that they require a professional with experience within the industry they operate in, to be performing the role of recruitment consultant, to ensure that the needs of their expanding businesses are met and so ‘Recruitment Consultant’ literally covers every existing and up and coming industry and professional within Australia. Our evidence suggests that the majority of recruitment consultants coming into Australia from overseas are from the following countries which, in many cases represent a stronger recruitment talent market by virtue of population and with greater maturity of development of the industry. The incoming talent brings educational and leadership value to the Australian market – as well as innovation and a global perspective – not to mention financial contribution to the Australian economy.

APSCo Australia members use a number of visa subclasses to bring in recruitment talent and the chart below indicates the variety, and to some degree the intent of the roles being filled however the most popular visa class remains the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)457 is, by far, the most popular.

More importantly companies in the APSCo Global (including APSCo Australia) membership facilitate and encourage interchange of talent across offices in all countries where they have opportunities to develop new ideas, share cross border networks and, in general facilitate knowledge sharing and skills improvement which is of benefit to the Australian market as well as to their global counterparts. Restricting such talent exchanges is disadvantageous to Australian business generally and is a disincentive to career development and growth.

6. Qualifications and Skills

An important consideration in the Skilled Occupations discussion is the awareness of what “recruitment skills” represent. Recruitment talent is, in the first instance, hired for knowledge of the sector they will be recruiting in. The focus is, always to ensure there is an understanding of the needs of the project and the skill, qualifications and competency of the candidate.

There are, as with any person to person role, a multitude of soft skills and personal attributes required which are not easily quantifiable in a Skilled Occupation assessment but which professional staffing companies have various methodologies to review and determine before requesting an individual to join their company.

Both key industry bodies in Australia have specific recruitment certifications, based on the needs of their membership base, and these programs form part of the core standards for being accepted as an Association member. These courses are Australian specific so cannot be completed by overseas recruiters but could be a compulsory pre-requisite for any new entrants wanting to work in Australia as a recruitment consultant. Details of the program can be provided.

An interesting outcome in the Skilled Occupation discussion is the increased expectation of APSCo members for academic qualifications of their consultants when recruiting – these are often specific again to the sector they are recruiting in, but not always, and reflects to increasing professionalism of the sector. Australia’s demand for qualifications exceeds those of comparable countries where talent exchange occurs.

The relative similarity in recruitment skills requested across three sample countries is indicative of the like mindedness of businesses globally in this space, which further supports the opportunities for talent to make the most of the global marketplace and why Australia should resist blocking inbound opportunities as outbound options are not dissimilar to what is available in Australia.

Sample comment from an APSCo member responding to APSCo Australia Skilled Migration Survey, November 2017.

“We are a professional staffing firm and as we recruit professionals we insist our recruiters have qualifications in the area of specialisation in which they recruit. With many emerging roles i.e. cybersecurity and digital fraud Australia’s talent pool is only emerging and we are having to look offshore to more advanced markets for qualified individuals to then assist us to recruit for corporate and Government clients who need talent with these skills, as well as train our own personnel. The Skilled Occupation Recruitment Consultant is so broad that this becomes a challenge when seeking to bring skilled professionals into the country, who can then recruit in these sectors.”

7. Availability of Talent

APSCo members are finding it increasing difficult to hire experienced recruitment consultants from within the Australian market and also struggle to support policies to hire Australians with the relevant sector knowledge to then upskill in recruitment. This is not unusual in a tightening labour market. It is important to note that the opportunity to increase the talent sourcing reach will become critical as the labour market continues to tighten, the mobility of local talent decreases and the pool of potential new hires and/or talent prepared to move diminishes.

Removing Recruitment Consultant from the Skilled Occupation List will create challenges across not only the professional staffing sector but also for corporate Australia and Government who rely on the availability of skilled consultants within the professional staffing companies to deliver solutions to their talent sourcing and management.

The cascading effect on the market will be extremely detrimental to business and the economy.

The Recruitment Job ad trends, the Candidate Availability Trends and the Difficulty to Fill rating from SEEK also provide evidence that both internal recruiters with corporate organisations and agency recruiters ( including APSCo members have increasing numbers of advertised roles which reflects a changing talent landscape and this is forecast to increase. The candidate availability trends emphasises there is not enough available skilled professional staffing recruiters available to fill the advertised roles and the difficulty in filling roles is increasing.

There will always be movement between companies, and new entrants coming into the market but not at the rate of need. The talent pool is not deep enough for the growing demands of the market – and it is the clients and the candidates looking for roles who are not receiving the service delivery they require. This compounds the issue and companies will look to other solutions to the detriment of Australian job seeker and business. Growing Australian talent is a long term positive aim but does not resolve the short term need which is impacting business now.

8. Closing Comments

There are continuous calls to tackle the skill shortages across multiple professional talent sectors and the recruitment consultant is now among the list of talent that needs additional numbers. The need for the service of professional talent companies in sourcing and managing talent on behalf of the individual professionals seeking roles, corporate business and Government is becoming even more crucial.

The need to consider upskilling and re-training local talent is acknowledged and accepted by APSCo Australia and its members but in the short term we need the knowledge and skills from multiple markets, to sustain growth and continue to be the leaders in attracting the best of the global workforce to our shores – for the benefit of the country’s development and growth and for the success of individual businesses.

There is a need to recognise and accept the importance of a smooth flow of highly skilled talent across all countries where there is demand – and the crucial element in that flow of talent is the professional, highly skilled, world knowledgeable recruitment consultant.

Establishing a barrier to the entry of such skilled personnel, given how difficult the assessment for entry currently is, ensures we will be behind the search for the best talent for this country when, with what we have to offer – we should be so far in front.

APSCo Australia therefore strongly recommends that the Recruitment Consultant Skilled Occupation remains on the list but that there is consultation and a review of how this Occupation can be more meaningfully managed to reflect the true professional and knowledge driven role that it represents in today’s talent ecosystem.
