Case Study: Bridging Global Talent with Local Needs – A 482 Visa Success Story
Australia
Challenge
CloudEdge Recruitment needed to source a Senior Cloud Cyber Security Consultant for a two-year cloud transformation project for a major financial client in Sydney. The client required deep expertise across AWS, Azure, and GCP - skills scarce in the Australian market. They identified Rafael Oliveira, a qualified consultant in Brazil, but the client was unwilling to sponsor directly, preferring a contracting arrangement.
Solution
SDP Solutions stepped in with an On-Hire Labour Agreement (OHLA), sponsoring Rafael on a Temporary Skill Shortage (482) visa and on-hiring him to the client. SDP handled pre-approval, rate calculation, compliance, logistics, labour market testing, nomination and visa lodgement, and full onboarding support.
Results
Rafael was successfully onboarded and deployed to the client. The nomination was approved within 2 weeks, visa approved in 6 weeks. The client accessed global expertise without sponsorship obligations, CloudEdge delivered a hard-to-find talent solution enhancing their reputation, and Rafael received fully supported compliant relocation and employment in Australia.
