Visa Workforce was formed on 1 June 2006 by the Principal, Peter Dillon after returning to Australia from working on a new base metals mine project in the Bicol region of the Philippines. Visa Workforce established an office in Perth Park and initially entered into a partnership with a licensed recruitment agency in Intramuros, Manila, later transferring to another agency in Malate. Subsequently Global Skilled Workforce, Inc. was established in Manila (Pasay office).

Visa Workforce has established a track record recruiting and landing skilled workers into Australia for clients in Perth but also for many clients across Australia. Skills of recruits vary but initially auto mechanics, panel beaters, cabinet makers, welder/fabricators and cad engineers were prevalent. Recent contracts included placement of architects, bakers, carpenters and roof installers so there is a diverse pool of talent ready, able and willing to come to Australia.

Visa Workforce retains a Registered Migration Agent in the Perth (Victoria Park) office and provides a “one-stop overseas recruitment and migration shop” for clients. Visa Workforce and Global Skilled Workforce provide clients large and small with a seamless recruitment solution that can deliver.

We strongly urge employers contemplating overseas recruitment to investigate the bona fides of any persons or agencies acting for you, and to RESIST DIY overseas recruitment. High risk options pursued by some employers in Australia include;
  • "cyber" recruitment (an applicant from the other side of the world tells you they are good and you believe them)
  • recruitment through personal recommendations ("my cousin or my friend is really good")
  • recruitment through unknown recruitment entities in the Philippines (any one of the + 1,500 agencies who have no idea about Australian work places and standards but might have employed some domestics or some factory workers to Taiwan!)
  • recruitment using assorted non accredited Australian individuals and entities (no migration agent and/or no POEA license) who can only provide PART of the overall service.
  • using persons and entities jumping onto the overseas recruitment band wagon (with no particular edge, and no track record).

At best, these strategies result in you getting promises that can’t be delivered. At worst, you may face serious consequences in Australia for unauthorized migration activities and very serious consequences for illegal recruitment activities in the Philippines.
